   It generally varies between 5 and 25 hours a week, depending on my workload. I've been enjoying a small slump the past month or so where I've only logged about 10 hours total, but more projects are in the hopper and are in the des

    I have the same model you do, with 256GB storage and 16GB memory. I upgraded today as I filled the 256GB storage a lot quicker that I thought I would. Freelance work has been plentiful lately, so I was inclined to splurge. I'm also int

    Is there a name for this "feeling"? I feel this way about a lot of things that get "popular". I feel this way about React, in fact. React is "good" but I don't see it as our end-all be-all front-end savior

    This is literally the only thing in our Angular2 setup that I'm really missing. Besides that, I've really enjoyed working with it (by way of Ionic 2)

    NetBeans was the first IDE we used in college (circa 2006). It's ridiculously easy to get setup, as opposed to Eclipse which I've always disliked.

    As a long-time ASP.NET developer, I definitely find the VSCode approach worthwhile. The new platform is definitely much more commandline oriented, but it's refreshing to be able to develop in such a lightweight text editor, compared th

    I only recently came to the realization that premium (i.e. paid) WordPress plugins are licensed GPL v3. This is a pretty large market for people buying what's actually OSS even though they don't realize it.
