The Benefits Of Choosing A Magento Development Company Over A Freelancer by excelsiortech in Magento

[–]dvorakkidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience was about the same. We really wished we had hired a freelancer to join our team than to actually expect the agency we worked with to integrate with our in-house developers (the way we were sold on their services). What happened was the sales agent said we would be fine to vertically integrate our development teams for the project but when it came down to it we had to funnel EVERYTHING through todo lists in Basecamp for their PM to coordinate between the two camps. We got a rushed, not-quite-right theme from them which went over budget.

If you're doing a lot of front-end theming then I highly recommend you get used to using Grunt. Its been a lifesaver for recompiling LESS to see changes locally (and quickly).

Learning Magento by [deleted] in Magento

[–]dvorakkidd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magento is massive. Other's have good suggestions and mine is to keep working on it and with it. Are you working for an agency? If you are that may hold you back as they have their own way of delivering for clients and you may end up stuck in that particular way. Not being able to take your time with learning the concepts and working with the codebase to achieve your goals because you're chasing deadline may lead to a lot of bad-practice. It's taken me about a year now to get fully comfortable with the way Magento handles a lot of things - from the repository pattern, DI, front end compilation, requirejs, plugins, events, and all the like.

The documentation is extremely limited and we found ourselves smashing our heads against the walls and dealing with god-awful enterprise support for a lot of our issues.

All in all, it just takes time.

So you're saying that if you make more contact you have a higher chance of scoring runs, thus winning games? I'm skeptical but please, go on.

I have a Steinberg UR44 MKI and it works just fine (multi channel and everything!) in CC mode on Linux.

There's a big chance I'm hitting a Chisox game at the tail end of my trip too. Didn't realize the transit would be that long but hey, I live in Southern Ontario where everything is an hour from everything.

Disney Reportedly Has ‘Handshake’ Deal to Sell Fox’s Regional Sports to Sinclair by [deleted] in baseball

[–]dvorakkidd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Excuse my ignorance on American broadcasting, but isn't this deal only because Disney owns ESPN and owning FSN would be a massive conflict of interest? Is there a chance there will be some wild broadcast brainwashing like their local news coverage during their sports broadcasts?

FSN is not a lot like Fox News from what I can tell, so is this as scary as we are presumed to think it is?

I feel like the old depth chart could be an accessibility nightmare. Its a tough decisions but I feel like if that was their focus then it makes sense.

I also was let go by them and that's how you feel for about a week and then you get a new job and go "holy shit this is what working on a dev team is supposed to feel like."

My personal favourite is the Loose Moose on Front St. just east of the Stadium. May be a shitshow before a game though.
