    Without knowing the exact expectations of the people the author spoke to, I'd imagine lots of the misconceptions are on-point. One personal exception for me was how university (not…

    There's a case to be made to shorten the task time I agree, but as noted in the article, when considering the amount of prep-time needed to pass a Codility test, these platforms al…

    > My point (and I think the points of others responding to you) is that parallel programming is not always hard. Sure, and even more people commenting appear to be of the mind that…

    The fees are coming from turn-key solutions that offer to solve the issues I note in the article, e.g. paid themes or paid plug-ins. I've made sure to more explicitly motivate the …

    Appreciate the link. I agree that CSS has come a long way. Not sure I agree this carousel covers 99% of the use cases, if that's what you meant? Regardless, my motivation was to im…

    The point is to comment on vanilla Wordpress itself. I fail to see how the managed service I'm using is relevant? Where exactly in the article am I complaining about being charged …

    I'm talking about using native Wordpress functionality on a managed service. Yes, Wordpress is customizable of course, but the goal was to consider the functionality provided in it…

    Comment #37920403

    I find Wordpress on the whole incredibly useful and the functionality it does offer is great, not complex. My issue is with the omission of what I perceive to be some basic and uni…

    Do you manage the Wordpress blog installation yourself? As part 2 will detail, the whole purpose of switching to Wordpress was to reduce the work load of building/maintaining the s…

    The author's article generally focuses on C (and possibly descendant languages), but the phrase I am critical of, does not. Furthermore, I explicitly consider a very broad selectio…
