I fell for the "text editor only" meme 8 years ago. I'm actively a vim user that uses tons of plugins just to be able to do simple things that IDEs do by default. I would not recommend it to anyone. I work primarily with embe

All true. In my case I had to take a huge pay cut just so I was able to get into the industry. I'm not sure if this is the correct way (or the only way) to get in from a web development background. It is just what I did. There are fewe

The thing that burns out web developer is web development. The constant shift of technologies (just for the sake of it) and the nerfed (to oblivion) environment is hell. As a web developer, after you learn the basics (~5 years) there is no

Don't tell me what I am and what I am not. People understand the "Olympics" in terms of sport, but they don't understand the exact same logic when applied to a craft. If you start early, if you focus on incrementally imp

This. It also happens with everything, not just the old internet. It is the fun aspect of being one of the few first to reach a certain resource.

There are a million ways in which your business can go belly up, there is so much that can go wrong at any point. I see these open source startups and I just cannot fathom how clueless MOST of these people need to be to build their business
