It's easy to underestimate the power of switching to a better language by just doing it - guess at the syntax until it works, then refactor as you start to understand the language and its culture more. In fact I've found I learn faster this way than any other.

I love reading articles about technical issues and solutions in the Porn industry. It's like getting a peek inside a youtube scale company as they grow.

Hey this is awesome! Though the admin/moderator changed the title for some unknown reason from the title of the blogpost to their own.

Of course because of snobbery. NH visitors should be protected from words, which starts from "p" and ends with "orn".

Now that is a lot a porn.

Also, the illustrations look really good! How did you make them?

trigger-happy, i guess. Given that "Porn" definitely implies a much larger scale than merely "video streaming", I think the title change does a disservice
