    Please review my website. I tried to implement MJ's advice

    The Web Design First thing I noticed is it's responsiveness behaviour is very strange. When I test it in devtools, it's responsive. When I grab the browser window and increase or shrink its size, it's completely unresponsive. Compare this to a proper site like Google, or Sky News, etc. You'll...

    Building a web design business & trading stocks | Monterey, CA

    EXECUTION 
    Big fan of The Futr Youtube channel. The Pricing Creativity book by Blair Enns is a gamechanger. You should also watch Chris Do's roleplay videos. This guy just nails it on the spot everytime.

    My Journey to Becoming a Web Developer and Beyond

    EXECUTION 
    Update I'll be finishing Modern HTML and CSS From the Beginning by tomorrow morning, and finished around the 1st 100 Basic Javascript lessons on freecodecamp. I was getting pretty burnt out on CSS, so ended up switching to some Javascript to keep the needle moving forward. Insights so far...

    Can we smoke weed in the entrepreneurial world?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Procrastination is my Achilles heel, so it just made me feel at one with the world. Complete inner peace and comfort, just ruminating through my thoughts for hours on end, but not really doing anything else. Not wanting to do anything else outside of my cannabis induced meditative state, aside...

    A $1,200 Expense Almost Broke Me 5 years ago, now - not really (funny)

    MINDSET 
    The only time I have ever been to Edmonton, I got a photo radar ticket. Three lane road (six wide), as wide open as day. I drove 79km/h thinking I was in a 70, turned out it was a 60. Didn't find out until it was too late. $230 ticket for 19 over lol. Calgary was easy to navigate the photo...

    Is SEO even worth it?

    MARKETING 
    If you're serious about adding a blog, a CMS system like Wordpress would be the easiest solution for you. You can use a theme and keep it simple. If not, why not keep the layout simple and effective? Navbars are really simple to create, it's the styling that can get complicated. Hamburger...

    My promotion fell through.. Now I'm here!

    INTRO 
    Starting the process of breaking away. I've led some serious cost-saving/ value adding Six-Sigma projects in the six+ figure range. Guess how much that got me? $0. lol

    My Journey to Becoming a Web Developer and Beyond

    EXECUTION 
    Web presence is the most important currency, especially in a post-COVID enconomy where there will be a greater reliance on e-commerce and integration more than ever. There's a lot of emerging technology on the web dev front that I believe will change the way businesses will operate in the...

    My Journey to Becoming a Web Developer and Beyond

    EXECUTION 
    How do you like Rails for the backend? My understanding is that it is the best for prototyping, but for whatever reason, the industry seems to be all-in on Node.js.

    My Journey to Becoming a Web Developer and Beyond

    EXECUTION 
    Right now, just working on HTML and CSS. More Javascript probably around October, with React around December timeline wise. If things move quicker, I'll be happy with that too. No platforms like Wordpress. I'm not against it, but I think using it too early in the game hinders development...

    My promotion fell through.. Now I'm here!

    INTRO 
    The promotion never comes, and if it does, it's never paid with interest on the principle. You'll have to forego everything you are for something you're not, to appease some decision makers for a raise that you're lucky if it even matches inflation. Don't ever lose sight of your epiphany. As...

    My Journey to Becoming a Web Developer and Beyond

    EXECUTION 
    A little. I did computer engineering throughout high school, created some circuit boards (proper etched ones), that communicated with the computer via serial port and ran BASIC code. Have created some basic terminal applications in C, and have some experience with Linux (been an on and off user...

    My Journey to Becoming a Web Developer and Beyond

    EXECUTION 
    Educational Resources FreeCodeCamp I played around with this before joining the forums, back in 2018, and I thought it was the end-all-be-all of sources, until I hit some challenges and had trouble with recall due to the sandbox environment. I think it's good for building a foundation for...

    My Journey to Becoming a Web Developer and Beyond

    EXECUTION 
    I'm going to be upfront: there's no big numbers to get excited over, no simple tips and tricks that will make you rich. This is a process thread with a 5+ year plan that will begin with a documented skill acquisition process, and ideally end with closing major deals focusing on brand strategy...

    What is your opinion on this Alex Becker video?

    MINDSET 
    What do people disagree with? This video is an extended metaphor for the state of politics in the US, case in point: the rise of AOC and people that ascribe to that philosophy. Those are the ones 'flipping the table' on the island. And if they create a new system, it won't be as good as the...
