I wonder: Would this argument still be true if you counted in the cost of living (which varies massively across Europe and also within countries and even cities). Europe is not only Paris and Berlin, in Germany actually the economic powerho

Nothing. Anki is great. But I prefer to have general notes in a text only format that I manage via NValt or simply desktop search. Anki gives me an own file format and forces me to manage my knowledge just within Anki.

MailCatcher (Ruby, https://mailcatcher.me/ ) is a good and open solution for this, MailHog (Go) is open as well, even simpler to set up (no worries about Ruby versions) and has never caused me any trouble.

Interesting take: Yes, it pays off showing how to use StackExchange, how to find and read good documentation and how to find what you want and need to know now is a very basic competence that you need to learn early on.

Laravel is just fine for that job. If you do not have a strong reason to change, keep on learning. It has an excellent documentation, has a great ecosystem (email, search, background jobs) that you have to assemble yourself with lightweight

Unfortunately, `hyphens: auto;` is still not supported on Chrome Windows. I still recommend using it, as it brings nicer layout to the ones you can see it ( http://caniuse.com/#search=hyphens ) and does not break the layout f

Thanks! What was your experience with selling over FEI? Both selling and buying seems to be professional. I wonder how many interested people it brought you and how smoothly the whole deal went and how much effort you had to put into it.

Very few of the one-person businesses go for mass markets where you need the paid (ad) channels that you mention. Also, the "channels" I mentioned are not just for acquisition but for enduring relationships. You cannot simply buy

Many one-person businesses focus on niches and do one thing great. Often they also offer great (aka personal) support. Also, quite often, they are great in building a community around their service. Additionally, many of the solo entreprene

Yes, from a content editor perspective, Wordpress is a great choice. Quite a few clients even want their new site based on Wordpress rather than on more heavy weights like Typo3 or Drupal. Wordpress has made many editors more self confident
