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

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

    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 nowaday…

    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 mos…

    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 indust…

    A gadget you fill with water and put in a microwave oven and the water gets turned into ice cubes.

    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 workforc…

    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 rou…
