Side project going kinda well, when to jump ship from 9-5??

Analyzing MacroHard's Downfall

Not so fast! This new design could be a masterstroke. Rebrands can fall flat at first but this one, abstract as it may be, places MacroHard in the ‘think different’ category. Maybe it’s exactly what they need to pull ahead of the competition.

Why the heck JSON beats XML, don't @ me

While JSON's got its merits, XML isn't without its uses. Think namespaces and attributes, rich support in the enterprise world, and its ability to represent mixed content. But for most web devs? Yeah, JSON's probably the practical choice.

Searching for 'Happy Ness: The Secret of the Loch' SNES game

Oh, I just LOVE clicking through ten pop-ups to read content

Okay, but like, these sites need to make money somehow, right? Doesn't make it any less irritating, but hey, if you're not paying for it with money, you're paying with your time and patience. Capitalism, baby.
