It's not just tech; it's people

What Devs do it's ultimately about people. The tech is the means whereby we can help people if our tech is good enough and not just some rehash of slop. And if it's ultimately about people, and it is, get this: people are sick of being seen as something to exploit, something like a commodity, something like click counts on a website. Think about it. You're a human being. Don't you want people to treat you with respect and to do so honestly and to not always feel like all they want is to make money off your back? That's why my business partner Eyal and I created freepaycalc, a FREE suite of 10 calculator-tools to help freelancers keep more of the money they make and to better avoid losing money through different kinds of "leakage" when you're not in control of the "container" of your money. For example, devs and makers are constantly plagued by scope creep. Wouldn't you like to kill that off? We have a tool for that and a free mini-library of workflow and payments articles to get your thinking straight on a variety of issues. These brief reads will orient you to better business problem solving. Look, go ahead and Google freepaycalc when you have a minute. See if I'm telling you the truth or not. No catch, no email required, no data collected from our database-free utility site. It's not in our model to exploit you. In our business model we help freelancers. See for yourself if any of this resonates. If not, thanks for reading this anyway...your time is a valuable thing to you and for the record, I have not wasted it.
