That seems to be an uniquely American approach to the situation ...


If you are on iOS, the Apollo app makes Reddit a joy to use again.


I'm a solo dev, paying $550 AUD a month for a permanent desk at a great open plan tech community space. It's in an inner city suburb (Richmond) which is the tech hub of Melbourne, Australia.

I live about 22K out of town, in the green wedge with lots of trees. I like how I am still physically connected each day to the vibrant Melbourne tech community, but can come home to the family and be in a more open, natural space. I am so much more productive when I am in the office and it works well, when meeting clients, to have an address in town.

Best tax-deductible money I have ever spent.


> HTML is for devs. They're the ones that deal with it.

As devs, we can view this html through a browser and use in-browser dev tools to view the associated CSS. There's no need to explain the style in the HTML.


You can still do that when you use utility classes. The benefit is that now you have a guarantee that you can drop a view anywhere in the application and have it render the same. I can restructure the HTML without worrying that I broke styling in an edge case.


You can sync your settings with Sublime as well, although you use a file sharing service (ie; Dropbox).


I don't suggest using Dropbox as it has its own problems. Head over to the other article to see how it can be done easily (and safer) with github.


I think it's more likely that the low barrier to entry required to build a WP site is what has caused these issues, well, in the past, anyway.

What you are describing could be attributed to any poor quality code, it's not specifically WP core that is to blame, but rather poor quality code built on top of it.

In regards to managing WP sites being costly and taking up time, I manage many WP client sites and find the opposite to be true (I did write the code for all of them, though)


Any for sale?


I'm down to my last one, and can't source them anywhere now. Want to sell any?


€90 on amazon, holy shit!

Maybe there would be a demand for a website that lists where you can buy obsoleted programmer gear like the IntelliMouse and Thinkpads.


What about people who want to cook in their kitchen and eat with their family? I think you may be looking at this too logically, not taking into account the emotional part of preparing and eating food.


My process is very similar. With 4) I charge a yearly maintenance/managed service fee.


How do you figure how much to charge? Do you give them x amount of hours a year, use it or lose it? Or structure it some other way?


Thank you for answer; Do you charge clients upfront or?
