I'm starting to realize that what I like about web development is creating visual experiences. Sadly, that job, at least around here, seems to be limited to web agencies with all the crazy deadlines and crazy hours that implies (I know

Why? I went from having very limited free time due to having a commute to having at least 3 - 5 hours every day after work. Even more if I woke up earlier. I'm interested in learning how to use those hours that I never had before becau

I'll take that into account, but right now I'm more interested in improving my free time. Working from home is perfect right now. :)

Best case scenario: Retired, living in the beach or a mountain somewhere. Worst case scenario and much more probable: Too old to continue working in the ageist tech industry and too old to start again, I'll be working a low-wage job tr

I know HTML/(S)CSS like the back of my hand. I know enough JS for most use cases and I'm starting to explore React and other frameworks to expand my knowledge. In the backend side of things I can code in PHP without any problem an

I can't believe how negative the article's comments are. Is everyone so addicted to work? I would understand if I could work at top performance 10-12 hours a day, 5 days a week but that's just not possible for me. In the end

I remember there was more than a couple of years between the 4th and the 5th book's release. More than enough time for the general audience to grow out a bit of the books. Personally, I hate the last book but all of the others are just

That's very cool but I can't help thinking "Why would you want to do that?". Columns are awful to read on a webpage.

I've always wondered, who is the target for this kind of post? I can't remember the last time I didn't stay in the office an extra hour or two because everything is urgent and for yesterday. It seems only owners or freelancer
