Q: If you, like me, make your income via the internet (not just through something like ecommerce or Patreon...but like a day job that is internet related), and the internet were to go away tomorrow, what other skills do you have to make a living?
I don't know if I have any, and that disappoints me.
Feel free to boost to get a bigger answer pool.
I recently released a PHP package that makes executing commands over SSH super simple. You can also upload/download files via SCP.
Don't use technologies just because you can. Use them if they are needed.
Professional projects should aim little higher than the minimum viable product level. If you're doing much more, you're probably over engineering the solution.
Sure, it not be as exciting. But trust me, the people maintaining your project months or years down the line will prefer boring, well documented tech.
Professional developers everywhere:
Simplify your stuff. Do not unnecessarily use new and shiny technology, when the tried and tested works fine.
