   At one point I was doing work for myself when I was just doing simple web design and stuff like wordpress sites. I may try it again as a developer. The only thing holding me back is the fact that I have a son now, so I can't just quit my jo

   I'm not a master in my sense of the word. Basically what I mean is I'm not a senior level developer in any technology. Still a junior level. I recently built two applications in PHP both of which were finished in under a month and are curre
