This is an extremely complicated question. I run a UI/UX studio here in Toronto and we go all up and down the spectrum, with some clients being shocked at our prices for web design…

I didn't know about this. Still, I was expecting a little longer of a communication with support-- 'escalation' or at least 'the ask' should have been done before the public shamin…

The author didn't even ask for what he wants: his year of free delivery under $35. I'm sure Instacart would have no problem at the very least waiving two $8 fees. My advice to peop…

This appears to be an abuse of process from LayerVault. They have a design in a style that's not quite originally theirs-- they've seemingly abused the DMCA to have github remove a…

I think this is another case of "Failures were justified and assigned an appropriate cause". In reality, the author didn't have the discipline to balance work and entertainment. Th…

I think the big difference is that thumb tacks are not a toy. These are a toy. They're marketed as a toy. They're given to children as a toy .

A little research shows the photo is not recent. It's being hotlinked from a wordpress.com blog, and a Tineye search shows it's from Time's 2008 TIME 100 ( http://www.time.com/time…

In question 5) regarding Canvas vs. SVG, Remy Sharp lists Canvas as a "non-interactive" technology. Could someone clarify this for me? Why does he consider it to be "non-interactiv…

At the risk of leaving a 'negative' comment: This is dangerously close (for lack of a better word) to spec work. You might get paid, based on a vague specification (I want somethin…

I believe they do owe the community a few things. They owe the community a transparent and open development process. They are doing this with Lighthouse and GitHub. Anybody can sub…

If you have excellent Django, PHP, HTML, CSS, etc skills don't just give them away. It's great if you want to help out with the Ubuntu project, but make sure it's on your terms. So…

Absolute junk journalism from a jealous and insecure author.
