Advanced results require advanced skills. CSS is one of my favorite languages. And the only way I can consider CSS to be difficult is if you have no experience with HTML. If you tr…

I learned to take it personally but not react badly. This way I am not trying to counter a normal human experience, but instead changing something I have total control over, my res…

I could certainly put you in touch with my friend. What I meant by "offline" is that I really don't want to put my email address into a public forum to be spammed. Any suggestions …

Well, by "science based" my understanding is that they could prove the system worked to effectively teach kids to read with predictable results.

I have a friend who I met in college who got his PhD working under Zig, which is how people who knew Engelmann called him. And this friend gave me a copy of his book "How to teach …

Here's a video of Siegfried Engelmann, who is mentioned in this article, demonstrating how he had taught inner city grade school age kids that were considered "unteachable" (I can'…

Siegfried Engelmann from the University of Oregon developed a science based method for teaching reading. With simple ideas like making sure the letters were distinguishable, teachi…

I recommend just starting from scratch. As a programmer at heart I find programming like playing with Legos. While I needed to understand how all the underlying parts worked, I did…

I actually have not touched any of the code yet as we are using a 3rd party developer to help us. (I will likely work on templates and other things down the road) My experience whe…

We are doing an Odoo implementation right now. (a few months in) What did you find is a mess about Odoo? And why is customizing it a nightmare?

Thank you! I haven't tried it yet, but this was one of the only things that I sorely missed when I went from Windows to Linux.

Same here. I am really, really hopeful there is a drop in replacement for ULIDs if they ever get abandoned.

At one time if you even _looked up_ the availability of a domain name they would immediately register it so if you tried to then register it at Namecheap or GoDaddy the name was ta…

To be clear, I agree with your assessment and I would not recommend an agency unless you are a huge company as well. It's a mis-match of interests and goals. The work I did as a we…

You said you'd next time go with a freelancer as one of your solutions. I'd argue you can run into the exact same problems as you described in your main post, just on a smaller sca…

While I agree with your list, it's not _always_ going to be 90/10. Day to day work is the opposite, 10/90, especially if you have a lot of production to get done. (then it can be 1…

I think you are agreeing with the article, but the details are different. I like how he distinguishes between specific use case, user generated content, or part of the site design.…

Focusing on other people will take your focus off yourself. I have found satisfaction in helping others. The less personal time I have, the more I value it and the more satisfying …

That's kind of you, I appreciate that. I think I am going to redo some things to target the market it serves better and maybe I will post a "Show HN" here.

I hesitate to even post here about my software, but "web designer first" is a key idea behind the CMS I've worked on for some time now. https://archetypewebsites.com/ A key premise…

Nothing is in a vacuum, and employees (myself included) feel the opposite responsibility. I want a paycheck and to get that I need my employer to stay in business. There is a syner…

I don't know what the remote version of this is, but instead of having an "after work" event, we found that having a lunch or event during work hours was far more valuable. While i…

Privately owned companies have the direct responsibility to care for their employee's and view their employee's as necessary partners to the company's success helps avoid _some_ of…

From a family business started by my great grandfather, been running for over 100 years. Things I learned from my dad and grand parents. 1. Being decent to people will cover all ki…
