When you aren't / aren't working with a designer, the secret is to "draw inspiration" (copy) from landing pages that you like, and add/edit in a bit of your own flair (and of course your own copy). No need to e

What do you mean "hard delete"? If your place of work is using any of the big cloud email services, they should be able to get at those emails regardless of whether you've deleted them.

Every big enterprise on the planet has your email to whip-out and read if legal issues arise, whether that's for internal reasons or for something like SOX compliance or running into problems with the SEC. It's a total necessity f

I imagine this varies, but for me most of college was very much about the pure bits of computer science - how things tick, so to speak. But very little of your day to day at most enterprises is about writing new versions of data structures,
