Why do so many people still use redundant HTML tags? The opening and closing body and head tags aren't needed, nether is the closing html tag. It doesn't make that much difference to the page as a whole but it adds another level of indentin

Name Tell an enterprise you want Amazon to host their software then spend a few days/weeks/months explaining that Amazon does more than just selling stuff. HP is well known, and trusted. For your average start-up, no, there's no difference.

If someone is joining a company to work full time, I can see how teaching them to use the tools "correctly" is good, and new skills are always a plus, but I frequently work on projects with freelancers whom I will only speak to for 4/6/8 we

My only worry about software working with this model (one time fee, download install etc.) is the source code. Things like this, particularly, will need to be easily modified and extended to fit into certain environments, and with no sample

People seem to spend a lot of time trying to get PHP to be more like Rails, Django, Node/Express, Play and similar, people seem to think it's OK for the entire application to need to be re-initialized on every request (LazyLoading classes)

Open source code. Tutorials, screencasts, books, they teach you /how/ to code, they don't actually get you to do it. You can get to the end of a book and have memorized all the code samples but still be without a flying fuck how to write a
