I once even lectured my fresh graduate coder to stop printing out those PDFs I emailed him. I’m not talking about salary here. A true entrepreneur should be able to embody the delayed gratification spirit and know that the gain of running a business isn’t in the salary but the dividend, bonus and exit.

Practically this means that you’ll outsource (most likely off-shore) your design and development, you’ll rent your servers, you won’t have an office and you’ll have no salary. No salaries, at first, but we did a lot ourselves and then did a lot as trade and/or on an advertising basis.

We’re currently running tests to find a good graphics person, then next up will be a coder, a VA and so on until I have a solid team of talented people, all of whom will cost under $1600 a month total to employ full time. I can’t even hire ONE Australian full time on that kind of money, let alone an entire team.

We all start as individual contributors, and we are good at technical competence – that narrow collection of skills you need to be a coder, a cook, an accountant.

Along the way, I was hired full time (I believe about 8 months after I started), a coder from India was hired and another contractor was added to the team. The salary offered (and accepted) was quite low. After all, you have to build a business and generate your own salary. 65k when the industry standard is 120k.

have you heard of any luck using outsourced coders from India … or where do you suggest ? When starting a new venture, esp one in concept phase should you be drawing a salary? I personally only take salary once there’s profits. Focus on those core metrics and you should do fine. If so much should you take out?

Modern businesses, massively reliant on information technology, are faced with a fundamental question - should they organize “traditionally” via single locations where salaried “W-2” employees work, or should they exist primarily in “the cloud” - with far flung networks of “1099” contractors, vendors, affiliates and the like?

Also, for the full time coder, you may violate your employee contract especially in the area of non-competes or just plain piss off your boss when he finds out how much time you have been putting into a side project when deadlines were looming. The above would make sense if one is unable to afford or obtain coders period. Who knows.

But my coders will beat up your coders, any day of the week. No offense, but I honestly think you have no idea what you’re talking about, and your irrational language biases are probably making you lose some really good coders. ” So, essentially you want redneck coders that will kill it and grill it.
