I ran a successful web agency and only focused on WordPress, Ruby and vanilla JS. It’s possible to ignore 99% of technology and just focus on the 1% that adds value to the problems you’re interested in. I would dabble in many other domains

Has anyone had success hiring bootcamp grads? I’ve interviewed dozens and their resume will say something like “Fellow at [bootcamp]” or “Instructor at [bootcamp]”, and it turns out they made a simple programming 101 app and taught a 1hr in

It’s fun to guess cards that make hands better or worse, but it’s a bit tedious to make repetitive random guesses for the inconsequential cards.

It’s a bit sad to see Musk pulled in so many different directions. He probably could make a really interesting, innovative smartphone, but probably not with everything else currently on his plate. And in an alternate universe, I would love

Great project! Would be interesting to see tie breaker information too. For example, Uruguay and South Korea tied 0-0 but Uruguay is listed 2nd in Group H ahead of South Korea. Maybe because Uruguay had 1 yellow card and South Korea had 2?

When a prominent CEO reverses a prior decision, it’s often newsworthy. Especially when it relates to a 2024 Presidential candidate.

That would be Fischer Random Chess (aka Chess960). I know engines play it, but I don’t know if they’re trained on it.

If by “back in the day” you mean 10-15 years ago, then Internet and social media adoption was a small fraction of what it is today. Today, you can’t handle (or attract) a large percentage of Twitter users without tons of financing (to handl

You could pay a front end dev to use a preexisting template. Or, you could Google “classless CSS”, if you’re OK writing some HTML. I made a plug and play CSS library here for those that don’t want to write CSS: https://github.com

Election interference need not be measured by its impact to be illegal. Maybe it swayed the election maybe it didn’t, but the individual in the article just admitted to the crime he was indicted for as a result of the Muller report.

It’s notable because he was indicted by Muller for election interference, so it’s confirming the accusation that Russia attempted to influence the 2016 election. It’s also newsworthy because many people didn’t (or still don’t) believe any e

Keep in mind that many of these tech companies are in California and the law changed a few years back to make it much harder to categorize someone as a contractor. I’m not 100% clear on the law, but I think if you work more than 20hrs for a

Depends on your definition of pretend I guess. Actors pretend to be people they’re not. Comedians pretend to be people all the time to make fun of them. Identity theft is using someone else’s identity for the purpose of committing fraud. I

Parody is a genre of comedy. Most SNL skits are comedians pretending to be real people. There’s no need for SNL to declare that “the following skit is a parody”, it’s obvious. On Twitter, it’s certainly less obvious, but the absurdity of th

In a related note, the Onion filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court on this specific issue of the necessity of labeling a parody. The argument is that the setup of believing the content is true is essential to parody comedy which then
