I always stop at 5pm. I take some kids for a walk to decompress. Around 9pm, after kids go to bed, then I’ll do another hour if I’m working on something fun. I love coding, and I would be coding if no one was paying me, but there’s more to

Perhaps not the answer you are looking for, but the super successful launches I’ve seen have built press and public interest long before launch day. I’ve never been a part of the marketing side, so I can’t tell you how, sadly.

You can both be right! Most buildings could be finished quickly, but at any given point time there will be more delayed buildings than ones being quickly constructed. This is for the same reason that most people who go to prison in the US d

In 1999 I’d been building websites for several years. I learned how to build a “Database driven site with PHP and MySQL” from a SitePoint tutorial. My youngest brother was into making modded cars for Need for Speed 3. I built him a website

That’s not really the same thing at all - listening for a deliberate transmission from a ship announcing its location is easy, required only an antenna, and can be done from a cubesat. This is an active radar in space.
