I'd like to interject a question here. I'm not a front-end dev, but when I hear other front-end devs talk about stuff... several notables folks have talked about not chasing all the frameworks, because they're like fads, an

#3, for sure. Multiple streams of income is always a good thing to have. Nobody says you have to kill yourself working but spend an extra hour or two building your side thing.

Every day, for nearly 20 years. I won't stop until it's gone. Social networks come and go... IRC has outlasted all of 'em.

A ThinkPad P1 has the most upgrade capacity, from my experience. I have max specs. Including a hexacore Xeon CPU, 4K screen, 64GB of RAM, and 4TB of storage.

As someone who has been on the interviewing side of the table, here's my unsolicited advice. Highlight the skills that are relevant to the position you're applying for. Don't list absolutely EVERYTHING on the resume. Leave so

Hey man. I installed VS and tried compiling the project. A. I'm not sure if I'm doing it right. B. If I am doing it right, where does the compiled binary (or is it an installer?) get put? Thank you for your work!!

Thank you for this work. This is EXCELLENT news. Question - I see in the Techcrunch article that tabs will be supported. Do you know if split windows (like iTerm2!) will be supported?

As an aside, if you're a paying G-Suite user you don't get {mined for, bombarded with} ads either.

I think there's something missing in this discussion. Do you know everything before you start $JOB? Do you have absolutely every last skill required to get the job done? I can only speak for myself here. I know I haven't. There ha

This is such a frequent question, I'm surprised there isn't a wiki up for this.

For the US-based folks on this thread, I think the don't-pay-me-with-checks is mostly a non-starter. 4 of the last 5 banks I dealt with now let you do mobile deposit, where you can endorse the check and deposit it into your bank accoun

Don't bother with an MBA course. Just go read "The Personal MBA" by Josh Kaufman. It covers the stuff business tracks do for MUCH cheaper. It'll save you a ton of money, and you can make a better investment. Seriously...

Not either/or. Both/and. You're going to learn the best by doing it with your hands. It'll cement what you're learning from the training.

I'd add to that, as to some it's not always obvious… in order to get customers, you need to be able to SELL . I'd argue sales is more important than the rest of what you need to do to get a successful consulting practice g

I'm going to take a contrarian view. My answer is, "it depends." You have a GED as an option. It is considered a high school equivalency. It's a single test that covers a battery of subjects. Pass it, and you're eff

It doesn't make sense to me why they'd WANT to leave them empty?? If I were a landlord, I'd be doing my best to keep the rentals occupied as much as possible.
