   Wow, this is really nice. I'd love to see a tiny bit more refinement on the CSS. - Pick a specific serif font, maybe Palatino? - H2: text-align: justify - maybe something a bit lighter and more elegant than the heavy lines separating a

   I guess so. Fortunately, none of my clients are in those kinds of businesses. Which is sort of a weird point. So much of the web development blogosphere assumes that the reader is working on a site that sells some product direct to the publ

   No, not exactly. I learnt JavaScript in the very early days, when we called it "Dynamic HTML". I mostly built very raw non-frameworked sites until a couple of years ago. I actually found learning Vue (~2 years ago) kind of difficu

   Scientifically, it's not a robust conclusion. The kind of person who wants to delete FB etc is the kind of person who will feel better after they do it. Personally, I just use FB in a pretty restricted way. I unfollow most friends un

    As a web developer, I frequently see these posts about how we should write (or at least transpile to) HTML because it's so much simpler, and the browsers can render it so fast, and it's the right thing to do etc etc. But they all

    I find this fascinating, as my experience is the opposite. I have hundreds of connections, mostly people I've met throughout my career. And yet, it has never actually delivered anything of value to me. A few potential freelancing gigs

    Using a non-compete for that is overreaching. You could simply ban that much more specific behaviour you're trying to prevent.

    I can relate to some of that. My dad, who was a programmer amongst other things, tried to get me interested in electronics, but it just never really caught on for me. Whereas programming I was pretty hooked from the start. I did lots of BAS

    Turns out "when a tree was planted" is kind of a fuzzy concept. Do we mean, when the seed first germinated? Or when the sapling was first installed on the site?

    Yeah, there are a few hilarious data errors around the place. A couple in various oceans, and a really odd streak of trees escaped from Cologne in the northwest of France near the Channel. Even around Null Island there are a few other trees

    The map is generally a pretty cheap by-product of two much more expensive processes: planting trees, and maintaining trees. To do any kind of long term strategic management of the assets (trees) generally requires knowing what you have, whi

    Looks useful. I really dislike the "Download Postman and then you will have documentation" approach. Documentation lives on the web, and there are better alternatives to Postman anyway.
