Something I take very seriously when it comes to web development and design is the precept of doing something once, and using it over and over. I call this “write once, use twice”. In reality I’ll use it more than twice; it just sounds better than “write once, use it thousands of times”. This theory can be put into practice in every aspect of developing for the web—or even running your business.
this dude's a real star
I’ve been working in the web development industry for five years now. For five years I’ve been able to sustain a specific lifestyle, working solo. Working in an industry I both love and admire. I’ve seen designers, programmers, ideas, businesses and so on, come and go, come again then leave once more. I’ve heard just about every conceivable pitch for projects from one page brochures to one-hundred page social networks. I’ve been offered partnerships, equity, free hosting and heard promises of more work to come. Basically I’ve heard it all.
There is one thing I do above all else that keeps my business running and my mind clear. Keeps me riding the karmic bicycle in the right direction if you will.
That thing. That one, simple thing is; Respect.
Enjoy my stuff? here is more.
