Worsening traffic and skyrocketing Lyft / Uber prices sent me to Metro for both my commute and general getting around. Metro has had its fair share of problems but it really seems to have gotten better!
It's not necessarily a bad deal because the benefit of being able to do the sabbatical while young has its own benefit. You can see more places and enjoy different types of experiences. And there is no guarantee you will live that long or be physically able to do the things you may want to do when younger. So it could be worth the trade off.
We use a tool called TestLodge and it works well for these types of test cases. You can also create test runs which can be assigned to people on your team.
If you want to have someone actually execute the test cases, you could look at a company called Rainforest that provides Testing-as-a-Service, if you will.
CONTRACT PHP DEVELOPER AT NPR | Washington, D.C. | ONSITE
We're looking for a PHP Developer to help develop the next generation of the npr.org website. We also have heavy API development needs that support our mobile applications and other content partners.
This is a long-term contract position with a very high likelihood of being extended.
I took a look at your profile and website and have some thoughts.
First is that your idea is a very specific and specialized. Your co-founder will likely need to spend lots of time just to fully understand the problem and the business case behind it. Then if they are actually interested in tackling that problem and believe a business can be built, it is difficult, requiring lots of time and specialized technical knowledge. Lots of people want to find companies based around classic consumer web application type offerings. Not saying you won't find someone but just saying that it will be difficult. You may be better off going to conferences to network with the right crowd so to speak to find a founder.
Second is that you are based in Syracuse. Personally at the co-founding stage I would want to be able to meet face to face and work with someone in person. I think a lot of people are the same way. The CoFounders Lab site does all of its search based on proximity (not sure about the others). So I think lots of people don't even see your profile, and even if they do they say I don't want to work with someone in Syracuse. Not knocking Syracuse - I really like it personally - but you need to be in one of the startup hubs in my opinion. It also will be helpful in getting other talent and getting connected in the VC world.
