Thank you Florian and Alan. This subject has proven difficult to |
| 8 |
research and how cool to get in touch with lucid and experienced |
| 9 |
individuals like yourselves. |

I think I need to hire one or more programmers and manage them myself |
| 12 |
precisely because I don't know how to do it. For many years I handled |
| 13 |
all business duties myself, and I've slowly been handing off duties, |
| 14 |
and I think that has been working because I know first-hand exactly |
| 15 |
how each of those duties should be done. So many times my business |
| 16 |
has required something I don't know how to do and I've been faced with |
| 17 |
the choice of learning how to do it myself or hiring someone who does. |
| 18 |
I've chosen to learn how to do it myself every single time and it's |
| 19 |
served me well, although it is very much the long and hard way. |

I'll be getting my feet wet with this shortly. Any other tips |
| 22 |
regarding the management of one or more programmers working on various |
| 23 |
small web projects? Maybe workflow or any key procedures a newbie |
| 24 |
manager should follow? |
