As a developer who spends 90% of my time on WordPress, I'm really glad to read about this. WordPress is a great way to organize content on the web and has a robust developer community. It's always improving. Love it!

I know a few people who have to deal with these sorts of issues. They identify as black, but by appearance people assume they are White, or Greek, or Hispanic, or Asian, or something besides black. Occasionally, people ask them why they hav

As long as U.S. laws fail to impose significant costs for data security breaches, we can expect companies to treat the costs of these breaches as the cost of doing business--just as they do with litigation costs for faulty automobile parts,

Zillow includes the Google Street View image option on for sale properties, where available. It really does give you a better sense of the house and its surroundings. I wonder if Google could/would implement a toggle option, so that ho

Very cool, thanks for the update. I probably should have paid more careful attention to the paint brushes next to it, would have given me a clue.

Very entertaining read; I suspect your book is equally interesting. I've had both experiences, one book published by a mid-sized publisher, and self-publishing another. When publishing the book myself, I found myself immersed in the wo

I use bootstrap when clients request it, otherwise I prefer Foundation. Bootstrap is a good grid framework, but generally I have found that Foundation is more easily customizable (read: you don't have to "undo" as much when d

All great points. You have highlighted exactly what I was getting at: the tech world has some of these D&I principles in place already , but is failing to live up to, or--as you aptly point out--even critically reflect on them.

Nice UI and a comprehensive app. Congratulations on a job well done! My only thought is that small to mid-sized churches may not have a Rails specialist, so a hosted option would probably be very popular.

I get that the companies here are not trying to off employees and collect. It does, however, sort of remind me of the Herbalife "investigations", where a hedge fund bet $1 billion that Herbalife would fail and then began lobbying
