I'm a little younger than you, born after the war ended. In the 80s, there was a weekly dramatized series called Tour of Duty that ran for a bit on one of the networks. Paint it Black was the shows theme song. Anyways, I was too young

I really hope this is targeted at legacy sites. A well patterned and modern site developed in the past five years shouldn't have these issues. Edit: The claim that Google ignores canonical refs should have a solid reference. I'm d

This question could be much wider in scope than AWS, so I'm surprised we don't have a wider variety of responses that touch upon everyday B2C ... bookstores (vs the original Amazon), shoe stores (vs zappos), home services (vs Amaz

I can't help but think of the movie the Big Short. There's a large pool of social media marketers, influencers and other tangentially related businesses, all in some way propped up by this fake activity. They're not unlike al

Armchair hypothesis: these careers are highly correlated to extro- and introversion. Introverts are content in their relationships and/or less frequently get themselves into situations that lead to divorce. Call it the nerd coefficient

You're right about great furniture and objects. We've tried putting a local focus on some of their selection (as well as the selection from additional non-etsy sellers), by selecting/curating furniture dealers from the DC and

I credit this place and the other abandoned warehouses of Detroit for my interest in public policy issues (e.g., economic development, labor policy). These places were also a great source of entertainment during my high school days. The Pac

Using web dev tools / inspector during a screen cast demo, either to modify a style or to show a site/app's responsive behavior. Simple, I know, but it comes off as some form of wizardry to many clients.

That grey area is largely what I'm referring to. That, and also hashtag feeds that start as creative outlets and then get saturated with both transparent and veiled advertising. For example, in DC, #aCreativeDC is a very popular hashta

Does anyone else feel like IG may be jumping the shark by pushing the business angle so hard? This probably sounds ridiculous given their explosive growth, growth that may seem unstoppable at this point. But, BUT, at what point do we all st

Contrary to the author's opinion, BS isn't hard to maintain and the code isn't messy. I've developed more than 30 projects using BS as the framework. It has enabled me to prototype, as well as build for production, faste

The most important part of this article is paragraph two, for without the exclusivity present in the government procurement process, it's unlikely we'd have a lack of innovation in regard to development practice. I've led or
