@adman123 Sure - what’s the difference between CTO and head of engineering? In the past, engineers have told me that CTO primarily works with outside vendors while HoE primarily manages the internal team.

@dogoodfeelgood Very valid feedback, and duly noted. Thank you.

@galations Yep! You hit the nail on the head! The purpose of this post was laughs and smiles.

@phaedros Thanks, I agree. Top candidate is a recommendation from one of my friends.

@pinkroses89 I don’t think this is true. Some of them explicitly advertise fractional CTO positions, and sell their time by the week or month so you can hire someone without breaking terms of service.

@rmora The India-based development team is an agency, with over 150 developers. I plan on maintaining a long-term relationship with them for future maintenance and feature development. My project will have five people on it, including program manager and three senior developers across PHP...

@georgios22 I’m not sure there is enough info here for you to get good advice It doesn’t sound like you guys are in a position to “choose” when to get capital. You’re knocking on doors. If you don’t have 6+ months of runway. What’s gonna change in the next 1-3 months?

@vesselofhonor Outsourced devs are making $25/hr US-based tech lead: a lot more. TBD.

@jaaye All set on the UX side 👍

@congestus100 Thank you for the thoughtful response In my effort for comedic effort and brevity, I just wrote a simple “I don’t know.” In reality, this “I don’t know” was essentially “I actually embellished the scope of my experience, and I am not qualified for the job“ rather than a “this is...

@bevm Thanks for looking out! As a non-technical founder, I would have loved to find a no-code solution. And I looked for nearly 2 months, but nothing can get us a product with the complexity that my market requires for an MVP. So, now I’m taking CS50 and I love it. I’ve completed half course...

@kozluv I agree almost across the board. This project based CTO/PM role is really an interview to bring somebody on full-time.

@mishamarie TBD!

@billybob67 Working on it! This project is also a fully laid interview to see if the individual should be my full time CTO.

@lessme Stay tuned! Every single day I learn a little bit more about the complexity of application development, but I feel good about the team I’m assembling and fortunate that I have two friends looking out for me and providing additional guidance.

@hoodiebunny12 Because we have defined and redefined and redefined the scope over the last 2 months

@sclayton9 Hey there fellow human - I’m not being vindictive or mean here so why are you treating me so harshly? You think the veil of anonymity gives you the right? I’m sure if we were discussing this face to face, you wouldn’t use this tone with me.

@downdraft Then I was using code review in the context of milestone. As an example, the devs would say that we have now fully completed and tested 1 of the 10 features requested. Given that everyone agreed that this one feature is 5% of the total budget, I will release the requisite funds

@downdraft What would you link the payment to? I wanted to be linked to milestones. If not code review, then what?

@downdraft Yes to all the above. we have a by feature document outlining each spec with cadence and estimated timeline devs don’t get paid until the code passes review by a person of my choosing this code review and second layer of project management is the job I’m interviewing for and will be...
