Somehow the room I imagine never seems to actually fit the description well. Especially if the text adds details later, I won't be able to add those in most of the time. For example, for the fragment you quoted, there is no carpet in m

If german administration is a shit-show then administration is a shit-show everywhere. There are always people who will say "the 'administration' should know better!!!". People have too high standards for leaders. They a

I bought UV blocking glasses and the purchase has been a life-saver. Like the GP I had serious eye-strain issues that caused headaches and photosensitivity. The new glasses eliminated the issues almost entirely. I am not 100% sure though if

I definitely hear you. As a heavy gamer myself, and a person who likes to do things fast to avoid slowing down my train of thought, our current tools are insanely slow. The researchers telling me I don't notice 100ms delays are smoking

Ah but that's the krux of the issue. If we're talking about mastery over "programming", can you really only count time spent coding?

PHP mostly competes with Ruby, Python and Node in the web space. It is generally faster than Ruby and Python. It's not the mess that javascript is. Has a sane community with a wide range of well-maintained packages. Symfony is easily
