This is reminiscent of Malaysian airlines getting nationalized. Planes crash, stock dives, investors swoop in and buy the company. This is the third Boeing incident now, not to mention the whole 737 Max debacle.

This is a fundamentally broken model. You get a good developer they fix the issue in a minute get $1. You get a not-so-good one they take all day and bankrupt you. You have an expectation mismatch, you pay the developers for their value n

I made the mistake of advertising one of my sites as 'free speech', got over run with lunatics, alt-right, nazis and flat earthers! Their money is as good as anyone else's (better even because they appreciate having a platfor

Authentication is webdev 101. If you can't roll your own you're in the wrong industry. I really can't think of any good reason to hand crucial control of a site over to any third party, much less user authentication where one

I'd say one major red flag is you're 'self-teaching', should be 'self-learning'. Little things like that are going to make people reject you, even before they look at your code or resume.

For my personal experience I freelance because I know if I did it as an actual 'job job' it would kill my passion. I think maybe that's the same for any profession though, doing it everyday as a 24/7 grind would make you

If you left your previous job on good terms, just contact them and ask if you can go back.

Even if prices rose with everyone guaranteed resources, why would anyone get off their asses to shovel shit when they can sit at home and get paid basically the same?

If everyone was guaranteed those resources, then no-one is going to do the jobs that need doing.

In Stargate, when a Goa'uld (worm) takes a host they replace the immune system. Obviously fictional, but an interesting parallel.

Go for a language that 90% of beginners won't ever touch, you'll find a much higher quality of learning resources.

Your first cost saving is avoid AWS unless you want to bankrupt yourself. They're great for backups but bandwidth costs will kill you.

This is a genius idea, I'm adding it to my sites today! Everyone knows one another, so if one person blocks a bad actor, it makes sense that everyone else will block them sooner or later.

I had a site deplatformed by them a while back. Rivals from another site signed up, posted objectionable content, used firebug to inflate their views and shares etc. took screenshots. Reported their own content and got our domain dropped! N

I think people need to realize that having an 'enemies' email go through a service that you (US intelligence or whoever) has complete control over and access too outweighs the benefits of 'de-platforming' for some outrag

Sounds like an easy way to frame someone, steal their vehicle, pack it with explosives and make sure you get caught on all the cameras.

Sounds like a good idea. Because we design the software we forget that what's obvious to us might be totally incomprehensible to an end user (especially older ones) and having a buffer (people person) between you and the customers is a

It's really not. If you value learning at all stay away from wikipedia. It's garbage.
