Real Programmers Don’t Talk
by
While this article is talking to writers, read it and change the word Writer to programmer. I have one friend who has been talking about ‘programming’ for years without actually writing much code at all. Now I love him dearly, but if you don’t write code, you’re not a programmer. Don’t wait for the code…
Maximum Consumerism
by
I buddy of mine wrote about Optimizing for the Maximum. In short we buy a huge house because we occasionally have the whole family over. But really it’s a few days a year, and the rest of the time we just have a huge item to maintain. Bob’s article made me think of this post…

What is my Single Purpose?
by
In episode 185 the Internet Business Mastery podcast talks about your single motivating purpose. I’ve got to say that I’m simply not sure.

Go read that review to get some more context on where I’m going next. I 100% think that WordPress is awesome. I 100% think that WordPress is…
On Code Generators
by
Anyone out there wants to save time. Who wants to keep repeating the same mundane tasks all the time? I certainly don’t. To save myself a bunch of time I’ve built up a snippet library and a bunch of projects on Github. Why build something a second time when you don’t have to. Code Generators…
