WordPress accounts for 40% which leaves 38% not WordPress, which still stomps JS's 2% into the dirt. I use both, but lets be objective here and not cherry pick.

I won't say I'm not, but I will say it's probably a bad fit if you are in the US and a developer. It's a marketing agency that also does some custom WordPress development. For US based developers it's a combination

I'll try to answer this as fairly as I can by starting with the things that lined up to make it possible for me: - I've been working in my industry for over 12 years and have amassed a decent sized network and twitter following al

My anecdote was about finding what's important to you and making a change to that specifically. For me it was a bigger focus on quality of life and quality of product, not compensation. Sounds like compensation is more important for yo

That's not what this is saying though. Their dollars are still worth less than a month ago, just less so than than previously projects. For their dollar to be worth MORE we'd have to get into deflation territory and we aren't

Seems like this could be handled by something like: Either 10 years, or 10 years from when you collect your first dollar, so long as that first dollar is collected within the first 10 years - giving you potentially up to 20 years in total.

if you like these games you might also like Oxygen Not Included. It's side-on view instead of top down, but is another excellent little ant farm to sink a couple thousand hours into. Sort of a Rimworld meets Factorio type vibe.

These things don't go to a single system. The signal is optically split at the ends and there are big racks of transceivers, each transceiver deals with a single mode. With 55 modes you are looking at dealing with 27 terabits or 125 t
