Languages don't map to countries. For example, I introduced Catalan, and: - it highlighted all of Spain, even though Catalan is only spoken in some areas - it didn't highlight Andorra, an country where the only official language i

HTML for emails is notoriously difficult to get right. To be decent, HTML emails require arcane CSS rules, inline CSS, table layouts, etc., and testing in many different clients (because they all have their own quirks). Fixing something in

This might not be exactly what you were asking, but I found it to work well as the means to end with the best possible (given current knowledge) outcome, including considerations such as avoiding code that is too smart, or otherwise justify

To the extent possible, organize time. Lots of comments here about specific activities that I'd agree with, but, specially with kids, life can become complicated, and there is always something unexpected or pending. Decide what sort of

Fertility rates plummeting is not necessarily a good thing in the long run, so maybe having kids should be incentivized.
