Have you considered a hardware upgrade and switching to a virtual OS workflow? It sounds like it might be worth your time to consider. I have a 4 year old AMD cpu (not sure which one), 16 GB RAM (cost about $80) and SSD (best upgrade in yea

The comparison of jQ to Angular is apples to oranges, but I guess the author might be trying to make a argument for libraries vs frameworks. In that sense I agree. After being burned multiple times by opaque, hard to debug frameworks, I&#x2

"What this country needs is another labor movement" Totally agree. Trade unions and collective bargaining can produce some outstanding results for workers, but the only way they can have any teeth is through a coordinated

It's great that the author has taken the plunge and I hope things work out well for him. I'd caution others away from such a drastic move though. 6 Months is an incredibly short amount of runway to go from 0 to paying your bills b
