It’s included because most frontend developers who are not also designers need to be able to interpret designs from designers that are made in either photoshop or illustrator. Anyone who is both a designer and a frontend developer is almost always skipping that (awful) step and designing directly in their browser,…

I am not debating that JS and PHP are backend languages. Simply pointing out that the infographic is geared towards front-end developers. If it meant Node.js and PHP, it would list them. Instead, PHP is listed as a requirement for the purpose of being able to work on WordPress.

And what’s your strategy if you accidentally “deploy” a critical bug? What happens if you make a major theme change, and as you’re “deploying” it, users are hitting the site?

It’s pretty clear that the list is geared towards front-end devs. No self-respecting backend developer deploys with FTP.

Didn’t say they weren’t, but that skill set a lone does not a backend dev make.

Updating sites manually via FTP really sucks. I’d strongly recommend that anyone looking to learn how to deploy a website learn how to use an automated deployment tool, like Capistrano. It’ll handle common deployment problems, and prevent users from viewing a half-updated site as files are slowly replaced on your FTP…

Came here to say just that. It’s a well rounded list of skills for a front end web developer.

Interesting that you’d bring up Flint in this debate, since the government caused that. You realize that if a private company had those responsibilities, they’d be in jail right now, right? Michael Moore would be working on a documentary about the evil capitalists who poisoned an entire city. But I digress...

you should expect the other major carriers to follow.

Sorry Jim, too many words.

I asked for numbers, not your own personal experience.

Sorry Jim, it’s you. You state that data is expensive, because of the data charges on your phone. It’s like saying that getting a massage is expensive because you get charged for a happy ending.

Many jobs are only accepting online applications

This wasn’t my idea. Someone else mentioned it, and I said it was intriguing. It’s obviously not flushed out. This isn’t a forum for discussing uses for sponsored data. It’s an idea that highlights the potential for other uses for sponsored data - and that’s all.

Why? How is it any different than Netflix agreeing to pay all of its subscribers’ data overages?

Yeah man, learning is lame, man.

But on a high level - why is Internet a right? You could make arguments for electricity and phones, but how can you make the argument for the Internet? How can something go from not existing to being necessary for survival in less than a single lifetime? The world has changed, but it hasn’t changed that much.

Your analogy in my thread about 800 numbers is fantastic as well.

You couldn’t make sense of 5 sentences? Lol. That’s on you, not me.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s an interesting concept that could bring us new kinds of billing arrangements (the educational idea that you brought up is intriguing, for sure). This net neutrality fearmongering (great term, since that’s precisely what it is), tries to kill ideas like these before they even have the chance…
