Again, 1Password. It allows you to login to multiple workspaces so you can have your family plan and your work team plan at the same time. There is a cost but I can guarantee that …

She didn’t buy an iPhone in a non branded box, it’s how Apple sent the replacement phone. I thought it was weird when we got the replacement though.

I’m not 100% on whether it was refurb or brand new. It came in a non branded box without a charger etc. The phone looked brand new. I’m going to install the app to check what the C…

My wife had a phone replaced off Apple about 6 months back because it was shutting down for no reason about 40% battery life. She’s recently upgraded from 10.x to latest version. S…

Sorry yes I was referring to the personal backup plan. We use b2 at work for our corporate offsite backups and I can’t praise it high enough. We’ve had it running for over a year a…

How does this beat Backblaze? I pay $5 a month and I’ve no data caps? I know I can’t start at a dollar but I can’t imagine many people backing up 0-10gb a month and that’s it

I didn't know any of that so I appreciate the comment. I think my next "fun" app will be a real time app using as many of the "new" technologies as possible. I've been stagnant far…

What size of projects are they? We do a lot of integration projects with our clients, ie integrating with CRMs / ERPs and the timescales on these projects is usually about 10/12 we…

I think this is what frustrates me. We've slowly started reducing the amount of Windows machines in our cluster as the licensing for SQL went from £160 a month per CPU up to £240 p…

We are based in the UK. I don't know if it's the clients and the type of work we are filling but we seem to be migrating a lot of people from Wordpress so typically they expect eve…

Thanks. I know this is something I can do right now but a few things I wanted to look at was node.js and Angular. I'm definitely in need of catching up on some new techniques, I've…

While I agree with some of these points the biggest one for me is client adoption. All clients assume everything is run in Linux. I don't even know why this mindset is so popular. …

Interesting, it's probably the type of software I would build and enjoy building. I never thought the market could be so niche to barbers though, guess that trend hasn't made it t'…

I think I was expecting it to be a normal forum layout but faster. I must admit, it didn't feel faster. The fade feels like a cop out on speed and acting as a mask. Also when going…

I apologise if this has been asked before but I am stuck in a dilemma and would like people's opinions on the best backup software / backup as a service solution. I am setting up a…

Sorry I didn't make it clear at all! We had 3 months where we had 20 minutes of downtime. The edge router was ~15 minutes and there was a denial of service on a machine in the same…

How do you find node performs on those $5 boxes? What's your traffic like on it? I've not used node before but it is a language / tech that interests me

I'm interested as I have a customer who pays around £200 a month per dedicated box at the minute for nearly half the spec. They are true dedicated boxes though and the network they…

I did it for two reasons really; I wanted to test out DO as a service to see what it had to offer (at $5 a month at my own expense it's written off easy) and I like to learn new th…

I see quite a few hosting on DO, how does that suit you for a production environment? I've heard the structure is becoming more stable now? I have a VPS with them but it's purely f…

Yes and No. How do you know that something that doesn't fit now won't fit on the next iteration? Can you honestly say you haven't built a site before that you wish you had built di…

Although I'm a fan of not over complicating things; generally when you re-build something for someone and they see the potential of their new site then 1 of 2 things happens. 1, Th…

Although I generally do not post something that is not constructive to an article, I have to say, I bought the same magazine when I was younger with Borland on and that is what mad…

The problem does ultimately lie with the tie in, I can appreciate that. I suppose my question was almost rhetorical as I know where the problems lie. I wanted to redevelop our CMS …
