How long would you estimate it takes someone to "properly learn version control"? When I work with very junior developers they pick up git quite well in a week or two at most. Beyond that almost every team I work with uses their o

Actually it throws an E_NOTICE. Something a fair amount of projects require you to turn off. You know what else throws an E_NOTICE? $a = notice_there_are_no_quotes; echo $a; // $a gets assigned the string 'notice_th

The big difference for me at the time I was freelance was that there was actually a point to getting insurance. Pre-ACA if I got a serious mid to long term illness my insurance company would just drop me anyway. Although once ACA was enacte
