I read the book (judging by your low-effort snark, you did not) and found it quite useful. For those that like to read, the book has quite a few ways to reduce and change your hygiene regimen and figure out if you're having reactions t

I used to do a lot of metalwork/fabrication in the early 2000s and ordered from them frequently. Even as a no-name so-and-so, stuff would be delivered same day or next day at the latest. It was amazing and they still do it!

I agree. Overemployment has been fairly big in the news recently, but I suspect it has more to do with real estate valuations: get people back in the office and get those property values up! There are always lots of emotional moral/eth

Frankly, you're probably better off learning some SEO, writing some articles in your niche, and waiting for a while (6-12 months) for your website to show up in Google results for as many keywords as you can. Use a tool like Ahrefs (yo

Can someone clarify this? > * Developers believe performance is speed. It isn’t. Performance is a difference in measure between two (or more) competing qualities, the performance gap measured in either duration or frequency. Maybe I&#x27

What a disappointment that the top comment is a dig on someone else's work. Perhaps next time you could try, "looks amazing, not for me".

I used to do landscaping. One morning I pulled my then-girlfriend out of bed by the legs because I was dreaming about dragging a tree into a hole. I moved a lot of heavy trees and shrubs in that job. Haha, memories!

This looks fantastic! I've used Lunr [0] (a client-side search engine), but as noted in the article, the index is huge and search is quite slow for a site with a lot of content. Splitting the index up is a great idea. Thank you! [0]:
