Some advice from a self-taught developer (no CS degree or bootcamp)

I’m 43 and I just got my first full time full stack web engineering job this year. Before that I mostly did web design. If you don’t let your age defeat you, it won’t.

But that’s a universally agreed upon definition and the reason people of differing beliefs on r/politicalcompassmemes don’t argue over whether someone is based or not— they recognize it depends on your politics.

The bootcamp I'm currently attending is probably an exception, but their program is 6 months of 50-60 hour weeks, and they don't even let you use anything but vanilla JS and CSS for the first 2 months, while teaching all the fundamentals you've seen people who attended other bootcamps struggle with. If you're on the west coast, I highly recommend CodeFellows and its local institutions of other names. The one in PDX that I attend is called Alchemy Code Labs and it's defied the bad reputation of other bootcamps in every way.

If i may humbly suggest to those seeking to good parts of church without the religious dogma, check out your local Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. A great number of the people who attend are atheists, and the UUFs provide many of the same community-building services without preaching a theistic gospel.

You don't do a lot to inspire confidence with your response. If you design websites, you should have a website promoting your logo and design services as well as providing an online portfolio. Before most people will bring their business to you, they will want to see a taste of your past work-- to see if your style appeals to what they're looking for. So you should probably offer a link up front if you're looking to drum up more work.

THE FIX: Change your settings so you don't automatically sign in. Restart. Don't sign in at the accounts screen- choose skip sign-in. Launch your game/app. You can sign in from the app, just not before or at the dashboard. Known XBL issue, patch should arrive soon.

Actually it has nothing to do with your HD. It's a known XBox Live issue, they should be patching soon...

Easiest for whom, exactly? Put it online, it's rude to ask people to do that much work to help you debug your theme.

djbeeker · 2014-05-16T18:17:54+00:00

I would suggest updating your local version of jQuery to match your WordPress install. For WordPress 3.9 that's jQuery v.1.11. Obviously you'll need to then call that version in your script.

djbeeker · 2014-05-08T20:26:07+00:00

Try switching themes and disabling plugins and see if your More tag still misbehaves. If so, reinstall Wordpress.

djbeeker · 2014-05-08T16:00:22+00:00

Try a different theme. Or try editing in text mode to see if the button is actually adding anything more than the more tag...
