I have a great shed in my garden which folk online would say I built wrong. I have a ten year old Saas product some developers would tell me I did wrong. Do what you want, how you want, when you can. Doing beats talking.

You may like hugo and markdown for journaling. Personally I settled running wordpress in a lxc container in my roofspace. The little hp dual-core box runs wordpress, gitlab and a plex media server. I think sometimes lightweight and simple b

I have a laptop and two external monitors on 18.04. I had to ditch gnome for unity to return workspaces to a good place. You can chose unity at login over the new default gnome which I thought was a nice touch by the Ubuntu developers.

As a favour I made a one page website for an electrician I knew eight years ago when he started out on his own. He returned the favour by wiring my shed office years later. The webpage is terrible but it has brought him a lot of business :-

I’m in Ireland and made a shed office in my garden. I’m aware being in an apartment probably means you are gardenless but I’ll throw my hat into the ring anyway. My shed is 10x8 and insulated. It has double glazed windows I got from gumtree

You’re wasting your time, don’t become a programmer! My gut feeling is you won’t like that statement because you do want to be a programmer. Stick at it, you will be fine. You are lacking in confidence. I created a saas product 10 years ago

I wished upon a star. Joking asides, I think a better question to pursue is how to find contentment. One key for me has been learning to live for today and not worrying too much about tomorrow. A friend just received more money than she cou

I was talking to a 70 year old friend recently. He concluded your third job tends to be the good one. I imagine the number is not the important factor. I think the message is we live and learn.

Make sure your company name and your product names are different. People will visit product websites. It has never occurred to me to visit Google's company website if you get me? I named my business, bank details etc, after my first pr

You sound like a good person, trust your own convictions. At 46 I find I look to the Internet more for information and less for guidance. I work part-time for a tech company, run my own business and am happily married with two adult childre

My bad, I wasn’t clear in my question. I’m not looking for gigs, more for resources for those working a job and having a gig. I think being in this position has its own challenges. I was curious to know if there were books or forums on the
