Pushing Boulders

Chris is leaving UserScape after 8 years, and working as a "Laravel Specialist" at Fly (fly.io). Aaron offered to interview me to talk about it!

This week I talked to Adam Elmore about his career - from funded startups, to high-paying freelance gigs for startups using AWS. Adam has EVERY certification AWS offers and has done a ton of freelancing in the AWS (serverless) space. He knows stuff about things!

Unofficial co-host Aaron Francis comes by again! We take turns talking about our stuff. I talk about Chipper & the final pricing decision I made (sorry Dan!), and Aaron talks about changes made in Hammerstone, and how they're pushing forward to start selling the things!

Alex DeBrie stops by and we talk about his business - consulting, writing books, teaching, and so much more! We also talk a bit about Chipper CI, running a SaaS, and of course, personal finance!

Brian Casel comes by and we talk about his latest product zipmessage.com - how it's grown, what he's doing for marketing, becoming a backend developer himself, podcasting, and more!

Jason McCreary joins the show to talk about how Laravel Shift works, and how Jason thinks about his business. Shift started as a side project to help developers update their Laravel applications, and has grown to provide his full time income. In particular, the pricing model and features available (Shifts, Bench, etc) are very interesting!
