I just don't want to be the one who sells the stickers, unless someone would
like to take up that job? I liked sticker mule because they have a fast
turnaround and after I sell a batch they will list it on their store and I
won't have to be a middle man! I thought about simply selling them

Also keep in mind benefits are increasingly important. If you offer a good

Just two cents, maybe even a single cent: at the point where you're writing
follow-up contracts to maintain or extend software written for contract,
you should probably look into hiring someone. This is a symptom of a lack

I don't believe the horse has left the barn forever. As Bruce Schneier
says, security is a process, not a product. And as we learn more about this
space we can advocate in our own institutions for greater awareness and
perhaps adjustments to the technologies we use to evaluate online activity.
