   Don't limit yourself like that. If you want to be web developer go get a job. If you want to be an entrepreneur then you better go where money is. Besides how do you expect web development to function as passive income source? Offering a se

    I don't know if anybody already made the remark. But I find this issue very similar to the issue of women in science, here is an out of box article: http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science The general theme is, what if women

    I usually use this phrase to signal, that deed that the person asking me is trying to perform is really not a good idea for a variety of reasons, while simultaneously I can't think of a single good reason for performing the deed: e.g.: If s
