I am jolted, nearly shocked, that in 2026 you have to maintain some Flash-based websites. Can you share?

No it's not. The whole presentation of it is confusing. Sorry.

Maybe Open AI shouldn't be so stabable?

I think it sucks. Sorry to be the harbinger of negative opinion, but that's just what I feel about it.

Requires sign-in the moment you want to explore. Hard no from me. Cooking is even harder when you have to deal with mandatory sign-ins.

You also need good writers who by example make it perfectly clear what's what.

I don't know if it's perfect, but I have yet to meet anything better. I discovered it late in my 20-year technical writing career, and it felt like meeting an old friend for the first time.

The trouble with DITA is that it is very often accompanied by its own very opinionated toolchain, although of course it's not mandatory. There are better ways to write docs nowadays than wrestle with XSL/FO and its brethren.

I've found https://diataxis.fr/ to be an excellent framework on which to hang documentation efforts. It helps you to understand what kinds of documentation resources help users most.

Good article, made less so by the over-large and gratuitous stock photos.

In the UK, the situation is more extreme, where every so-called 'startup' I find is either working in the payments industry (... truly a new furrow to plough /s) or the coin industry.

I have learned that it makes sense to hire less good looking people, other things being roughly equal. Very attractive people - both men and women - are a distraction to a workforce of young, single people, and lots of flirting in the offic

To a rough approximation, your site isn't going to go viral.

How about some up-front pricing for the non-free courses?

I think perhaps that the author nails his colors to the mast when he says I don’t enjoy drinking alcohol, frankly. Human beings do many things that don't strictly optimize for species success. Good.

I agree with most of what you say. The question I have is why would anyone care about new developers coming to their platform unless they had a plan, one day, to monetize those folks?

I think the situation may be perhaps different to the one you describe. Heroku seems to have been pretty clear about the abuse and fraud that led to this move. It's a shame all round. I don't have an MBA and am not a beancounter,

Big difference between 'digital skills' and 'tech talent'. Call me cynical, but I'm gonna take a wild guess and suggest that employers are looking for tech-savvy people at minimum wage.

I'm 62, and was 'discovered' to have high blood pressure at 40. Mind you, I'd never even visted a doctor for at least 20 year prior to that, so who knows when it began. I've been waiting for a visit from the silent

Thank you. I discovered I have an adrenal nodule via another medical investigation. No one has ever suggested it might be linked to my high blood pressure.

Your phrase 'Images are also possible' worries me. But then you go on to say 'All of this is trivial ...', which makes me feel a lot better. I've had many well-intentioned but ultimately abortive attempts to get on

You know, the first justifying reason for choosing Tailwind "It uses classes that are abstractions of CSS properties" just might not jive too well with someone who doesn't know all this stuff in the first place.

But then, we have a more direct democratic choice over the politicians that make decisions for us. For me, this is worth more than the niggles you've mentioned.
