I'm a 40-something guy, currently living and working in Nantes, in the north-western part of France. I've been in the IT since the early 2000's, so I'm slowly slipping into the "elders" group (let's say "experienced", instead )
You should be able to find more about me if you know how to Google .
I currently work in a "fruit company" —in the Forrest Gump way— : ... but not the one on the left. The other one : So... "Hello, colleagues !!!"
You're becoming an expert at something when it is faster to script a solution than google it.I still google a lot !
Here are some "competitors" I'm aware of that may be of some interest :
mine! Mine! MINE!!!), then I had enough experience / time / knowledge to share it. Let's say this is how I contribute to the open source : documenting things.
developmentversion), pages are XML documents which are transformed on-the-fly into HTML by my browser + XSLT stylesheets. When I created this, the 2 main conditions were it had to work :
productionversion, a Python script performs the XSL transformations and generates static .html files. Today,
pushing to prodis a matter of minutes .
I do my best so that it's optimized for readers, with details, links and working examples. My "development" environment is Debian stable + Firefox, and as long as everything displays correctly, I consider it ok. I admit I don't check with other browsers or systems (...could be better, but, you know, I'm doing this on my free time). However, what you'll see here is plain HTML and CSS (mostly text, few images, no sound, no video), and the only "exotic" stuff you may miss on "unsupported" browser(s) is eye-candy such as color gradients, round corners, transparent icons or animated GIFs here and there.
It is not mobile-friendly either. I know Google values "mobile-friendliness" a lot, but I'm still a newbie when it comes to mobility, responsiveness and all that sorta things (suggestions welcome !). I don't want to include KiB of Javascript just to make Google happy. I do my best so that everything I write turns into "good" HTML and browsers (mobile or not) are able to display it. From time to time, I visit this site with my smartphone and —so far— it LGTM . I also "optimize" as much as I can (light pages, minify CSS, ...) so that everything displays fast. Finally, the topics I discuss here are not exactly the kind of stuff you search / read on a mobile. So no need rushing .
what I do to know more about you) are :
This is something I've heard a few times, mostly from people :
More seriously, my color chart and CSS possibly "could be better" . But I like it this way : this is "me". I prefer doing this MY way rather than copying others (what for ? Remember : no ads ) and doing something I don't like. Many websites look like each other, already. Flat design is just a trend, and something more fashionable will replace it someday.
I actually wanted this to be as "semantically visual" as possible : commands are written like this, file names like that, this is code
, and this mimics a shell output. I'm slowly learning CSS3 and CSS grids...
Like everybody else, I've spent time on forums and IRC (link for youngsters ), been the victim of some trolls and wasted sooo much time and energy in endless / pointless (both?) debates.
good ol'timesbut also that

But I admit Red Hat works great too and has good documentation. I'm just cautious about the C.C.B. : We prefer Red Hat because it comes with tech support.
. I'm ok with that, but in practice (working in IT for almost 20 years), I have NEVER filed a support case to Red Hat (meaning this _may_ not be money well spent. Unless you consider buying peace of mind, so it's ok ).
TAB

s were created for. I'm afraid this is the kind of question that has no answer since, whatever the pros and cons :
TAB
