If there’s one piece of advice I could give ..
So I’ve been thinking about things, thinking about the state of web development. What could I write about to could help out some new recruits and budding developers. (Note this is a long one, so get some coffee, sit back, read, and I’d love to see your thoughts and opinions at the end …). In a nutshell:

I have a rather entrepreneurial friend back in New Zealand, he consulted at a Software company I worked for once. Over time we became good friends.. One day him and his business partner came up with a widget. And sold a few, and then needed to sell some more. Then one day he gave me a call. You can imagine as a web developer the conversation “Yeah some some company wants [insert horrendous figure here] to build us an e-commerce site” pffwaaaattt (coffee all over desk)…
And so began a new relationship. Realising the scope of work was BIG, I actually called up one of my dev mates. “Oi, I’ve got some work for us, keen?” Gave him the specifics. We agreed to do it 50/50 (side note, later on I ended up taking it on 100%). We struck a deal. I drew up a contract and we got underway.
