lately people are asking me how do i keep up with our rapidly-changing web world.
Here’s how:
first: code code code!
i’m coding something almost every day.
coding brings problems →
problems bring thinking and searching →
searching brings new info and resources →
( … and then … new ideas for coding → new problems … ♺ dayum! 😀 )
Things to try when fixing a bug: 1. Google 2. Stack Overflow 3. Documentation … 8277. Disturb your co-worker who has headphones in
