    Should I get an LLC?

    From my experience you shouldn’t form any business entity until you have to. Obviously “have to” is relative, since the reasons you see as needs will vary. But forming a Corp comes with costs from the formation and also tax preparation and renewals. I never form a corporate entity from the...

    Should we combat climate change?

    OFF-TOPIC

    Is the future Front-end, or Back-end?

    Since you have to learn JavaScript to do front end, just use it on the backend too. I use to do PhP and JS. Now JS end to end. Makes your life so much simpler. No data transforms and all knowledge you gain is fully applicable everywhere. Use node.js and react and it’s hard to really make...

    Guilty conscience when not working on business – what to do

    MINDSET 
    I use to feel and act this way years ago. Back in 2013 I had a significant accident and serious traumatic injuries that easily could have killed me. Up to that point in time I was just working, working, working and saving. But in that moment I realized that life can be over in a blink of an...
