Absolutely, especially because you said you have the time. My best hires over the years have gone above what was requested of them during the interview process. If you focus on being enthusiastic about the position rather than negative abou

I started reading this expecting not to like it, because a lot of blog posts with gratuitous F bombs in the title are by morons. Totally not the case here. Plenty of honesty and inspiration. +1

I think articles like this are great, but the sad reality is that you'll never be able to convince a vaccine denier to change their mind. They already know their beliefs contradict scientific consensus, so providing them with additiona

You've got to admire this. Everything in that post makes complete sense and is stuff I've read time and time again. For some reason, though, I keep falling into the trap of trying to perfect everything I make before I let anyone e

This is just an attempt to get attention. States can't just decide to split themselves into multiple states, it requires federal legislation. The only state that can split itself up is Texas, which was part of the agreement to bring th

These "Snow Fall" type stories definitely look good, but taking over scrolling is going too far. You've got to let browsers be browsers! Playing an animation before you can see content is very 2001.
