If you’re not using AI to write themed sea shanties for your nautical-themed company nomenclature, are you even a developer? That’s what the GitHub release box is for, right?

You can be closing deals, paying people, and still be building the exact business you promised yourself you’d never run again.

I’m doing a code audit on a new client who was unhappy with their previous agency. I find this when I crack open the theme. I’ve seen some weird stuff over the years, but this one is gonna keep me up at night 😱

I feel more like an archeologist. Most clients come to me after their site is built, and usually have had a change of hands happen 3-4 times unsuccessfully, and there’s a string of bad decisions made that piles up, and nobody knows where anything is. I change that.
Fediverse reactions

I started using SupportCandy, hosting my support tickets on my own site instead of paying for a SaaS. It has some quirks in the ticket editing experience, but honestly for a $150 lifetime price right now it’s well worth it.

A chunk of my team is out of the office this week, so I’m playing quadruple duty this week. I’m really glad I have my time budgeting and task management in-place, because I’d be completely off the rails right now.
Nothing reminds you of how much your team does for you when you’re not looking like suddenly losing a few of them for a week. So grateful for their help.
