Hahaha I know the feeling - I've had my fair share of unused domains under my belt back in the days but I had to let go of them because of the hefty renewal fees :'( Hope you hold on to yours for as long as you can - or sell/

Yes I am! And I totally get it - I'm pretty much a branding geek myself. I've been debating whether to remove the dashes even when I first started building the site, and this just gives me more reason to remove them from the word

Hahaha, I'm sorry about this! I've come to realize how this site can be used with malignant intent - even domain registrars could be stalking this site and bump up the prices for domains that people have been viewing a lot. I gues

Thanks a lot for the kind words! I think you should definitely learn Python - it's a very versatile language, but for the full-stack I would recommend mastering JavaScript instead. As for me - I've been coding in Python at school
