Hiya everyone, OP here. If you reached out to us in the last 14 hours, I'm sorry to say we probably haven't gotten back to you. We didn't anticipate this many responses-- we were expecting under 10 offers, and instead we got

Don't worry; people in the Bay Area are annoyed by people who call themselves rockstars and ninjas too. As for what you're reading online, of course some people are like that, but in my experience they are for the most part not th

I meant that humans inferred the protocol from the hostname, and that now most people by default just thinks of a host as a url to put into a browser.

I say without the www looks more appealing. The www was included for a time when browsers were not the primary way people used the internet, and so you needed to specify www the way you specify, say, ftp. Nowadays everyone assumes something

What made, say, PHP or Visual Basic good for beginners was that they just worked. You wrote a PHP program (in the language, not a framework), saved it as index.php and suddenly you had a working web app. With VB6, you created a project, d

I'd suggest web development. The barrier to entry is extremely low, it's such a big deal that there are a bunch of libraries and communities ready to be taken advantage of, and it pays so well that sometimes you feel like a scam a

"I think it is pathetic to be proud of your sexual orientation and feeling a need to show that off." What makes you think that?

I know nothing about programming languages. What makes you predict that, and what makes you feel terseness cannot be a programming language's selling point?

If you plan to work remote, don't charge Phillipines rates just because you live there. People in the US will easily pay you 5-6x as much for the same work, and all you have to do is not say where you live . On that note, I second the

Am I reading this right? You used to... not be able to see your code verbatim as you were editing it? My god, that sounds horrible.

I don't think my comment was in the nature of, say, a grammatical correction. If this were my website and someone found a button's hover state off-putting, whether they were right or not I'd want to know about it. I didn&#x27
