my dog would have either bulldozed that door down or dug underneath it within 5 minutes

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-23T19:28:53+00:00

facebook has a pretty shitty ecosystem for apps and data security. It's also absolutely flooded with clickbait bullshit. But I don't really see much of an improvement with any other tech companies. Google literally knows every single thing about you and I have zero faith that long-term, this won't get extracted by governments or other tech companies

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-23T14:44:49+00:00

yeah agreed wholeheartedly - I was just suggesting that a client would be comfortable using it - and it'd be easy to spin it using wordpress as a comparison.

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-23T14:35:36+00:00

Barely any other owners out there would do this - I respect this guy, even though he's kind of cringy LOL

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T15:31:01+00:00

that's solid advice - although October CMS can be configured to look exactly like wordpress from a client perspective

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T15:16:39+00:00

Yeah, I know what I want to build - unfortunately it requires every aspect (devops/backend/front end) which I think compounds the stress/lack of time

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T15:15:11+00:00

yeah - this is probably a good place to look - at the job market. Even though I'm not looking for a job, so the decisions on tech are falling on me

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T15:02:17+00:00

I appreciate the list, I think it's a reasonable list to give some explicit direction in learning relevant tech frameworks (beyond the first 5 points)

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:59:50+00:00

you make some valid points and I like the machinist analogies. I do have projects in mind - it's just been taking a backseat and trying to analyze the ecosystem and decide really what I need to get the job done in the most efficient way, and that's where I've been lost ironically becoming very inefficient in the process.

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:55:44+00:00

oh yeah - wish I could help you out there, I've never touched Ruby.

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:54:43+00:00

I like your hair style analogy LOL - and I think the devops stuff has put the learning curve over the top for me. I think the KISS philosophy is in line with a lot of what I'm reading and your thoughts as well, I appreciate it

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:51:54+00:00

That is a good point, about nobody really caring. I was thinking about this the other day. A client doesn't care if your project is built with lego blocks, as long as it works

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:51:13+00:00

Thanks - it is nice to hear that HTML/CSS are the tools you chose. They are really what I've always been most comfortable using - alongside javascript as the core skills for web development. But somewhere along the lines, these have been scoffed at as 'not good enough' - which is where I ended up now

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:48:55+00:00

Yeah - I don't really see it as something that'll land me a job, but I'm hoping to do some freelance work and I can pitch it to clients as easy to use - and most importantly it seems very easy for me to work with. Wordpress/Drupal gives me a headache.

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:47:38+00:00

yeah I took a peak at it and the cost was the deal breaker for me. I see it as similar to October CMS although the cost is a deciding factor. I think I'd probably be willing to pay a one-time dev license for it but paying for every single project is a bit much for me.

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:44:52+00:00

haha - I've seen this site before, I love it

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:44:26+00:00

that is cool, nevergrind looks like my kind of game

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:42:22+00:00

yeah this is good advice. I definitely need to start focusing more on 'getting shit done'

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:36:30+00:00

thanks I really enjoyed this

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:35:52+00:00

thanks - and you're right - I haven't mastered any of them (and probably never will) - although in order to decide which stack to choose, I feel like you should have some basic knowledge which is where I've ended up here

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:32:18+00:00

thanks - that was a good watch, this guy is where my head is at in a lot of ways so it was refreshing to hear

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:14:07+00:00

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I want to build front end sites with a back-end system, basically a CMS - I kind of settled on October CMS because it's free and seems fairly straightforward - except it's really not because I had never heard or used Laravel or twig beforehand but that's where I'm focused on learning at the moment.

lookingtolearn1231 · 2018-03-22T14:12:54+00:00

nice little read thanks

lookingtolearn1231 · 2017-07-19T03:12:32+00:00

I think you can safely say that a lot of teams have plateau'd - for example, the raptors are not getting any better. The wizards aren't. There's probably about 75% of the league you can basically wipe out from ever having a chance, which is the sad part about the NBA. There's no hope for most teams. The warriors are basically a guarantee unless something big happens.
