I'm also an evangelical weirdo. He is speaking the language of his people, with biblical references. I'm not sure I would do the same in this context but it is a step up from the spin and lies we often hear. I have experienced som

I spend a lot of my time delivering training for Microsoft certs. After 20 years as a sysadmin I still learn new stuff while preparing training materials. Microsoft Learn provides a lot of excellent, free resources/labs. It tickles me

I've been using linux for 20 years and my one frustration is missing Powerpoint. I recently joined the world of education and they are Powerpoint mad. Hats off to LibreOffice but Powerpoints look like they have been dragged through a h

Think, "I'm doing the best I can, if it isn't good enough they can sack me". Ps. If what you say above is true, they won't sack you.

For 9 months I have eaten porridge, a banana and sugar free syrup for breakfast (sometimes eggs, beans and a pancake). I eat vegetable curry most days for lunch. I eat 2-4 pieces of fruit a day. I don't think much about dinner, I eat

Some of us do. I would point people to the book, "Jesus' Terrible Financial Advice". There is confusion among christians and non-christians about wealth and the pursuit of happiness. This book is good at tackling the confusio

Programming is like music and you are a Rush fan. Even Rush fans have their favourite periods of Rush. It wouldn't be a very fun world if we all had to like AC/DC :-)

I say do it. A lot of good fortune in life is about contacts. I am 50 with a sideline which makes a low five figure ARR. I can understand why someone older may think of selling their business.

Good point. Fast thinking and fast talking are two different things. I believe fast talkers need to work on their listening skills. Not just be busting to say their next thing. I also see a compulsion or need in some people to walk through

Complexity may come from people aligning with a clan for help and support e.g. react. Personally I like to understand what I am writing. My last project was php, bootstrap and plain javascript. I appreciate that others want to piggy back on

Home hosting is great for testing. I have been doing this for years. It's not a serious option for live sites. Dyn IP, slow upload speeds and physical security are all an issue. I would recommend duckdns as a solution for dyn ips. I me
