"I agree with what you said here but it is unfair comparing WordPress to RoR/Django via Google Trends. How many non-programmers are going to google RoR/Django? Now, how many non-programmers are going to google WP? A TON. WP is great for getting a quick prototype up & running but at some point you're probably going to want to rewrite it. A better search would be RoR/Django vs CakePHP/CodeIgnitor/Yii...and those trends show RoR/Django in the lead." - Adam Pieniazek

"Virgin Mobile yo! Unlimited texting, data ( web, email, etc. ), 3G, & 300 minutes for $25 / month. 300 minutes is more than enough for me, all I really need/want is internet in my pocket, though unlimited texting & 300 minutes is a nice bonus. They run on Sprint so if you're in a large city chances are you'll get good coverage. I'm in Boston and in the Boston area ( Cambridge, Brookline, Somerville, Quincy, Boston, etc. ) reception/coverage is great. If I get too far from the city 3G becomes spotty but I so rarely leave the immediate Boston area that it's not a big deal for me. Really hope these types of plans catch on with the big carriers. While my LG Optimus V is rock-solid for now, it's not top of the line and at some point I'll no doubt get tech-lust. Already starting to feel it a little because Firefox 4 beta isn't compatible but at the end of the day it's a small price to pay for paying $50+ less per month. Porting my number in from t-mobile was super quick ( less than 24 hours..." - Adam Pieniazek

adampieniazek on What is the best way to learn web design and development if you don't care about earning a degree? - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"Build a simple site from scratch. That's the best way to learn. The site doesn't matter, the process does. Start with HTML & CSS. Build something non-interactive and simple. Something with a header area with navigation, a content area and a footer. Simple & easy, you're only doing this to learn the basics. Then, add some slight interaction to it. It could be a voting system or a login system, anything that'll require using a dev language ( PHP, Python ) and a database ( MySQL). The idea doesn't matter, just pick something and start building." - Adam Pieniazek
