This is absolutely awesome! On a related note, I'm constantly astounded by people who use excel all day but have no interest in getting better at using Excel. I've tried explaining how to use tables and why writing readable formulas is important but they just stare back with a bemused look.

You guys have just had a fairly serious exodus of staff right? What was the deal with that and why're you hiring so soon after? I used to work for one of your competitors YourParkingSpace but I love what you guys are doing - parking is indeed a very broken industry.

Thanks, It's funny coming from having to learn Node.js in my old job really quickly there was so many tutorials that were easy to get started with.

I really like the sound of this approach. It seems really simple but thanks for the tip!

Yeah to clarify, I mean that after a year of work I'm now on the same level as a grad?

I don't think I can quickly evaluate that. I would say it's less technical than a traditional tech company but still closer to that than say an eCommerce store.

> I think your boss did you a huge favor, taking a risk on you this first year. Now you are no longer an unproved dropout, he owes you a real wage. Keep both of those in mind.

This is exactly the lines I'm thinking of. I've been lucky enough to gain the sort of experience that puts me on the same playing field (at least in the view of employers) as my a grad.

I think I understand what you mean. Certainly i'll look into evaluating my value + wants based off your model.

For me in some small way I want to be working for a company that is even in an almost insignificant way mine... Not dissimilar to the attitude that I guess crowdfunders have.
