I got frustrated with this and created BigConsole[1] to solve it. It's a Chrome extension that adds a Firebug-style split console to DevTools. Then I tweeted about it, and Addy Osmani responded[2] pointing out that Chrome does in fact

There are an infinite number of ways to fail and only a few ways to succeed. If you learn from failure, you have learned one way that doesn't work out of an infinite number. If you learn from success, you have learned one way that does work

Performance and goals don't have to mean the same thing. An example of a goal is "acquire 30 new customers by the end of the month" and the relevant performance metric there would be "number of new customers acquired." Better performance in

Sorry -- some people struggle with light-on-dark text. I tend to like it (obviously) but I'll probably switch at some point for this reason. I also want to experiment with just making the text larger. Would be interested in hearing if other

I can confirm this. I wrote quite a bit of open-source software that has attracted thousands of users over the years and now my clients find me instead of the other way around. You need to do more than just write the software though -- you
