introing111··on Ask HN: How do I stop caffeine intake without losing productivity?
I understand you. I used to drink coffee and black/green tea too. It affects badly for our brain neurons. I started doing yoga in the morning and it keeps me in tonus. I suggest you do some exercise when you feel that you need to drink a cup of coffee. Hope it helps you!

introing111··on Facebook launches petition feature, its next battlefield
That's interesting. I see that Facebook develops more feature to support different initiatives (FB groups, charity pages) and even petition pages.
introing111··on When hiring senior engineers, you’re not buying, you’re selling
"When hiring senior engineers, the company doesn’t choose the candidate, the candidate chooses the company."

That's totally true. I also choose the environment where I will be working and what conditions will be.

I prefer working remotely and have flexible working hours. It keeps me motivated.

"Your job posting probably sucks". I agree with it too. Because some recruiters write me that their company offers free alcohol in their office for stressful situations. I told them it looks unprofessional and seems that they just drink at their office. She said to me that people hate boring descriptions and I'm wrong.

But you know that more people like a healthy lifestyle. Especially in Silicon Valley. Do you agree?

So, if you sell your company, find more information about a candidate (their interests, lifestyle, values). Instagram, Facebook, Twitter show you who a person is. It helps you to write the best offer to a candidate.

Currently, I'm using three ways to find a job: FB groups, Networking, and Freelance Marketplaces. I used to get projects on Upwork but right now I check job boards. BTW, if you want to save your time searching for projects, I found a service on Reddit comments that aggregates freelance projects from job boards (https://periodix.net/). I like it because it doesn't sell me bad projects.

introing111··on How do you find freelance coding projects?
I mentioned in Linkedin Tagline that I'm open only for Freelancing Positions or Part-Time Remotely. So, I suggest you do it too.

On Facebook Groups, you faced competition and sometimes clients don't reply to you because Messanger doesn't show you mails not from your friends. They are hidden. So, I don't like it much.

introing111··on How do you find freelance coding projects?
Hi there! There is a complicated question. I have been using several ways to find a job.

1)Facebook Groups. It's a little bit tough but I had some success there. Groups like Startups Jobs, Jobs in San Francisco, Remote Jobs in Startups etc.

2) Freelance Marketplaces. Upwork (upwork.com), Freelancer (freelancer.com), and Periodix (https://periodix.net/). It's a new service but helps me a lot already. I found this service in Reddit and didn't expect great results. But I found something reasonable for myself and be hired fast.

3) Linkedin. Recruiters write me every day.

4) Local Websites. I check every day local job boards to find a local project. Because it seems faster to be hired.
