Hi, I’m Sam
This is my blog. I also have a website thing.
Snapchat
Posted on November 14, 2013
Today Snapchat turned down a $3,000,000,000 offer from Facebook. That is a stupid amount of money. They have less than 30 employees. Wow.
Here's my favorite response:
Facebook tried to buy Snapchat for 3 billion dollars and Snapchat turned it down. Here's a pie chart to explain why: pic.twitter.com/fX9VUICa5V

In all seriousness, I'm sure they had a good reason. On the outside, it's hard to imagine a business turning down an offer with more zeros in it than dollars they've ever made. No one has heard why they turned it down. I'd love to know. Obviously part of it is they think they can get more. Hopefully they last long enough to make that happen.
I don't understand their endgame though. It would be really hard to make ads work well. There's no way people will pay for their service. I think their only hope is to sell. 100% crazy.
Picking Good Clients
Posted on November 13, 2013
Enjoying freelancing is hard. Picking good clients is a good start. The right client is key. If you work with someone that is a terrible client, you will obviously not enjoy the work. To me a good client is something that knows what the want, pays on time, and let's you, the expert they hired, be the expert.
If I discover someone isn't a good client, I'll do my best to finish the project like we agreed on and then not work with them again.
The most frustrating thing is someone that doesn't know what they want. They'll constantly change the project or add things when it should be finished. If you're billing by the project instead of the hour, this is even worse.
