The Portland example is dangerous territory, because now they have a home they can rent for much more per month and might kick you out. Then you just lived in a construction zone doing free labor for a year for nothing.

Even worse than that, sometimes people get fired for political donations. Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich was "pressured to resign" (fired) for supporting Prop 8. You don't even have to say unpopular beliefs, you just have to hold them privately until someone uncovers them through digging through your records.

I contacted them about this and it looks like they changed it.

It is arguably the readers driving it into the toilet. They only make those posts because they drive clicks.

Using "they" instead of "he or she" is a grammatical error in many instances and it's considered acceptable.

With everyone else defending misuse of language (LANGUAGE EVOLVES!) I am sure this is going to start becoming acceptable and correct.

I would recommend not using Filezilla at all, honestly. The creator was entirely unapologetic about bundling malware.

I typed that I would be very productive today, and I was more productive than I've been in weeks.

I would stop focusing on finding a co-founder and focus instead on starting a business. A CTO isn't the solution to wanting something developed and not having money to pay someone. Find something you can do by yourself. If you're capable you will find and hire a CTO later.

Except in the cases where it actually is embarrassing, in which case it is redacted "for national security".

Pricing and details aren't negotiated yet - they offered a price that was 1.75x my wage, and I'm going to counter with slightly higher than that and whatever other stipulations I decide on. 2x for base rate for client meetings might be overly complicated, since it's going to be less than 5% of my time. You make a good point about business hours though, and I will tell them I will be reasonably available during business hours.
