   Thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking a freemium model might be useful for exactly this sort of thing.

   There is a popular Ruby gem which addresses this sort of concern: https://github.com/rubysherpas/paranoia Essentially it doesn't delete but gives the impression to the user that it deletes. I like this idea becaus

   Interesting article, pretty remarkable to be that committed to the time tracking -- I can barely stick with using the pomodoro technique for longer than a few days in a row... I hope OP continues to grow the dataset. Will be interested in a

    Yep! Me and one other guy built a web app called FitQuick which was basically a 2-sided marketplace to find personal trainers. Idea being you could use it to find PTs who offer group sessions in the park near you, for example. I learnt that

    I had similar struggles. I was heavy in to CS:GO & dota2 and all I got out of this was going to bed angry. My solution was pretty extreme - I sold my gaming PC. Here's my steam profile now: https://i.imgur.com/4sSc0

    Yes, I would be interested in this. I dipped my toes in to WP dev recently to address a client's needs and was shocked by the lack of local development practices / guides etc.

    I don't know about anyone else but I have never heard of this term used before in business or otherwise. The 10 points seem like a loose "definition" of a Business Analyst.
