   Yup! The key is to define what success is for you. As developers we're always sharing and reading stories of young millionaires who did something that "We could do in an afternoon" and think we're failing if we just get

   Well posting on HN is a good start. You have a chicken and egg problem. I visited your site, sat in as a listener for minutes and no one showed up.

   Yeah, that is terrible advice for someone just starting out. It may have worked for OP, but I would be hesitant to just throw out "start lifting" as advice to everyone. For most people they need a significant diet change to see an

   I had the same issue a few years ago. There is lots of great advice on this thread, and I'm going to throw my hat into the ring too, but understand that you ultimately want to find the solution that works best for you. Losing weight is

   I wish more projects would adopt this mentality. I feel like there was a time whenever you went to a project page the first thing you would find was a description and how it was helpful, followed by screenshots and a quick start guide. Nowa

    jQuery might not be the fancy new hotness on the block, but it still works and is still used. I get the feeling more and more that developers are embarrassed about using it, similar to how some devs are embarrassed about using PHP, yet it&#

    Thanks for the notes about my certificate to all who mentioned it. I'll get it taken care of tonight. That's a personal site that I haven't paid much attention to recently.

    https://github.com/darrell-d/tracker It's a simple time tracker. No cloud BS. It just uses local storage to track how long you've been working on any task. I still have some features I'd like to add (lik

    This hits the nail on the head of a feeling I've been having for years now. Computers used to be fun and exciting. Learning how to program was a hobby for me. Opening up that Gateway 486DX to tinker with the insides of it and swap part

    Sorry but this post has no soul. Account created exactly 100 days ago, no other posts and it hits all the checkboxes of a marketing email.

    I see this sentiment all over the internet but I don't really understand it. Not trying to be snarky but can you explain why you want the caps lock key gone? I know personally I don't use it too often, but it's nice to have i

    A few months ago, I was on a linux VM with no ad blocker and I got one of those banner ads about my Windows PC being attacked. Being interested and having nothing better to do on a Saturday night I clicked it, got told my system was infecte

    I've always loved the PHP.net site for documentation. Let's say we wanted to know about the `explode` function, right at the top of their page is a search box. Type in the function and a dropdown populates with a brief description
