A live-performance software with a focus on creating 'musically connected visuals'. Currently, the biggest connectivity is probably tightly tied lyric visualizations. Some recent examples:

or if you prefer Mashups:

You basically need to look at the long-term complete picture of how he characterizes his role (I'd suggest https://knowledgefight.com/ as a great source for this) in relation to Sandy Hook.

I cannot recall a specific instance of him apologizing, but I'm convinced he has at one point or another done so. But the number of times he's minimized, ignored, mischaracterized or outright lied about his involvement and impact on the Sandy Hook victims far, far, (FAR) outweighs the actual times he's ever admitted fault and/or apologized.

One personal exception for me was how university (not college) prepared me for my future in software engineering. The courses I took quite often involved group projects of 2-3 people completing work cooperatively. Undoubtedly this was - by far - one of the best and closest to real-work experiences I had during my earlier education.

Compromise, discussion, division of labor, and a healthy bit of experience with individuals who'd prefer to be part of the project credits but ideally do as little of the work as possible.

I think, ideally, companies should compensate candidates, but I don't see that as a likely outcome either.

Sure, and even more people commenting appear to be of the mind that it is generally hard.

> That's also what the author is saying.

It's not what author is explicitly saying in the statement I'm addressing if you re-read my original comment. There, the author isn't saying that it's not always hard, they're implying that it 'in general' isn't hard.

From your arguments, it would seem you think anything that actually runs in parallel (regardless of whether it programmed as such) can be considered 'parallel programming' and from that perspective, sure, it is super easy. But with that kind of reasoning, you can argue that anyone who only knows how to drive cars with automatic gears is actually a gear-shifting expert and shifting gears is really easy, because it happens automatically for them.

I've made sure to more explicitly motivate the intent of switching to Wordpress being to reduce custom code and on-going maintenance, in the article.

Regardless, my motivation was to implement as little as possible, as the whole motivation to switch to Wordpress was to not minimize what I'd have to build. I will make a note to detail that better in the future. Appreciate the candor.

Where exactly in the article am I complaining about being charged for having someone manage my backend?

Granted, changing the CSS is straight-forward, but not necessarily for everyone switching to Wordpress.

And unless I'm missing something, doesn't injecting PHP either require a plug-in or actively building on to a wordpress component?

My issue is with the omission of what I perceive to be some basic and universally useful features. What's basic is - of course - subjective, and you're welcome to disagree.

As noted in my article, I share your preference with a basic paid tier just to get in the door.
