Yes, obviously.. It really depends on how much time you have, what browsers they care about supporting etc. There is a tooling out there to assist you and most of the compatibility issues are well documented now. 10 or…
I didn't know what the broken window fallacy was. So I looked it up. It is rather dubious if what I said fits into this fallacy. If I leave my refrigerator open all day, it is guaranteed it will produce nothing of…
The fact was that I wasn't right. They were doing decent work and their beliefs didn't affect their work. A lot of non-believers (in the past I would have include myself in that list) seem to believe because they don't…
When I got out of university I was doing a web dev job that paid me less than a full time super market job in the UK. However after a year of working there I quickly moved on and got a big pay rise in doing so.
The problem is with many with your attitude is that everything must be done perfectly now. This is the attitude of an abolitionist. It isn't perfect therefore it must be banned. There is money to be made mining Bitcoin…
Have you thought though that if more money goes into Solar, Wind/etc (via BTC, Eth mining and similar) that more money goes into renewable energy and thus more money can be spent by those companies improving their…

I was unemployed for 9 months in the UK. I was a contractor/consultant and had to take a full time position. When Lockdowns started I was literally finishing a contract and was happy to have some time off. After month 7…
It called progressive enhancement. You test whether you have a feature and then code around it if you don't. e.g. When createObjectUrl was a new thing. I ended up doing something using AJAX and doing some processing…
The difference is that the tech companies between them control a huge amount of online communications. The bakers, florists and small web-developers don't.

Do you think this tax money will be spent on NASA? I would wager not.
