Productivity

• The full-stack employee — Chris Messina – Was thinking full-stack as in Front End + Back End. Turns out it speaks another matter. More broad one.
• Hacking Vs Engineering: Not All “Bad Code” is Bad – hack first, engineer later – new perspective. And good analogy of bridge vs boat
• 3 Ways Location-Independent Designers Earn Money Without Designing – Writing (including Blogging) and Teaching are ones of the passions. But don’t think have the resources (mostly times and chances) to do them now.

Front End

• 5 Permasalahan yang membingungkan bagi CSS Newbie – Some secrets finally revealed
• Belajar Web Design clean up:
  • Free Ebook: Contoh desain web tahun 2015–2016 – Belajar Web Design – 168 samples is just too much. Not really into design, too. So skip it.
  • Contoh Desain Web Anti Mainstream – Belajar Web Design – These samples on the contrary, only a couple and worth to check. Although not sure they’ll be good enough for sale. Unique, yes. sold-able, not sure…
• The 10 Big Web Design Trends of 2015 – Just keep up to date with the trend.

Techno

WordPress

• About freemium business model.
  • Deciding Which Plugin Features Should Be Premium or Free – Crucial.
  • All About Freemius For WordPress | Tom McFarlin – Have been reading Freemius blog for a while (most topics about business). Turns out it’s a good service. Will probably try that if (ever) build a freemium product.
  • 10 Successful Free WordPress Plugins That Use the Add-on Model for Monetisation – It’s coincidence to find this article while on the topic of freemium. Nevertheless, haven’t heard/tried some of those 10 plugins. Would like to try them someday.
• This week is a clean up of Freemius. Beside above freemium topic, it mostly covers about business related topics.
  • Lifetime license for WordPress plugins – the right way! – Lifetime should not mean unlimited. Nice new point of view.
  • 5 Future #WordPress #Plugin Market Opportunities You Can’t Afford to Miss – #developers #wp-api – Hoping someday can execute one of these ideas
  • Protect Your GPL WordPress Plugin Business Against Trolls – Just realize there’s copyright and there’s trademark. And so many other terms. Good long article.
• WordPress for Android 3.8 Available with Faster Reader Experience – Just clean up. The latest version is far more than that. This post is more than a year ago, though.
• About Responsive Images. The big mystery. Made one compilation post separately with additional notes. Total 13 posts.
