You lost me at "Pay them to Code, not Think" That is THE worse advice EVER. You want a developer that can take your pseudo spec (and I say pseudo because if they are detailed enough, then you should be able to code them, since you are hirin

I would change the push from ethical software to ethical development. Software, like so many drugs is not "unethical" on its own, but the user (or doctor compared to medicine) is the one that makes an unethical use of it (or medicine) I agr

For 9.99 introductory price I think is awesome. 3 questions: 1. With the Lua script, can I call a web service or a web page to get an xml or or a json with data and load that response directly to a sheet? 2. How do I put a button or somethi

I believe that the comparison is fair because "he's simply making a tool that's been using for the purpose it wasn't sold for". All the tools in the comparison are used in a manner that was not intended by the creator. The point is that it
