    Open Source: To Use Or Not To Use (And How To Choose)

    Originally published on forbes.com. You’d like to use open source software, but you’re not sure what criteria you should use when deciding whether to rely on it for a specific project or not. I have a long, complicated history with open source software. I use open source libraries every day in my work, and I’ve […]

  • On Assholes and Leaders

    On Assholes and Leaders

    The asshole doesn’t see that he is one — that is the true nature of being an asshole. Ultimately being one is truly just a manifestation of selfishness. If you don’t care how your actions affect the people around you, the people around you will see you as an asshole. If the actions of everyone […]

    How to see if a class was added to an element using JavaScript

    If you need to see if a class has been added to an element the easiest way is to trigger a new event when you add the class. The problem with this solution is what happens if you do not have control over the function where this happens. Like if it happens in the WordPress […]

  • A Weekly Book Project

    A Weekly Book Project

    I’ve taken a step back from following all the podcasts I’d been listening to, for obvious reasons. I have the 3 I listen to, to keep up with the news… And that’s it. At a certain point, reading more news stories will only make me less effective. In 2015 I set out to read a book […]

  • Thoughts about “Who” and Hiring

    Thoughts about “Who” and Hiring

    Finished reading “Who” this week. I found it an interesting approach to hiring. I’d read it if I were looking for a job as well to prepare for interviews, though it’s not designed for that. Takeaways: Take hiring seriously, this should be obvious but it’s easy to let it get lost in all the other […]
