You must roll with some motivated crowds if everyone has long-term goals. > 60% of the folks I meet would be pretty content watching TV all day, every day. When you talk to them, they just talk about the shows they watched.

As a user who occasionally uses rural (slow) internet, I wish more developers would just redirect to a new page for editing. It often takes longer for the initial JS-heavy page to load than it would for me to click & load 2 simple HTML

I know what you're saying, but on the flip side: How many billions (trillions?) of dollars has been created by WordPress? And it keeps growing! I feel that this "shipment" has been fairly responsible, with the Classic Editor

Is anyone else impressed with WordPress/Automattic's willingness to "just ship" despite things not being perfect? As someone who struggles shipping software that basically nobody uses, I don't know if I'd have

For any devs worried they're missing out because they're not in the "strategic" role described here: There's still a boatload of money to be made just doing the coding. Yes, strategic work can be the way to big buck

Family ties are indeed extremely strong. However, here in Idaho we have lots of former Californians and it seems that it only takes one family member to make the "leap" to move up here, and before long (usually within 5 years) the
