@aldoblack if we had offices...

@fast-nop and @bahua we actually tried adopting an approach where each dev takes “ownership” of core features to foster the idea that everyone is in this together. Technically every employee is contracted, even the US ones. It’s a small company. The only employees even working in the same city ARE the overseas employees. They attend the same meetings, on the same chat channels, etc.

And as far as pay and treatment, the owner prefers to treat them as “real” employees. The problem is they approach projects sometimes like an employee and sometimes like a contractor. Lots of good ideas, but then the execution is copy paste and error prone.

@segfault0xff I’ve only been doing it for 7 years and my field of fucks is currently quite barren

Ubuntu? No? Okay...

@AleCx04 Your comment about freelancing Rails while everyone hates on it, welcome to my life as a PHP dev. Hate all you want. When it pays the bills, it's the best language out there.

@ThinkBigDev Thanks! I don't see any explanation on my end when I click on either one. Just the title of the category along the top, and "The rant starts here" as placeholder text.

Thanks for the clarification and help!

What I meant was that when you click to post, you can post a "Rant/Story" or a "devRant", as well as a joke/meme, off topic, etc. It's those primary two that I don't understand that difference.

I'm excited to have stumbled on this site. As a remote worker, I have zero office camaraderie so this should be fun!
