Hmm. I hope this doesn't mean the job snagged.

You gotta admire the nameless bureaucrat who coined the term \"death gratuity.\"

I know what it's like in this field. I don't try to take work away from people unless I'm sure they are shysters. I have a good job, lots of us don't.

That said, if you have employed shysters, or need somepixel for a new project, I do take on interesting stuff in my spare time.

But I'm willing to wager there are out of work web people here who deserve it more...

I consider it part of my job to take instructions from virtual luddites, and translate them into actionable tasks. Then to respond with a clearly articulated scope document that outlines exactly how I plan to meet their requests.

In my opinion, the client shouldn't need any expertise. I'm the one who lives and breathes in that world.

I got the Asswipe version, apparently. Right? The one with John Boehner's picture on one of the posts is what I mean.

OT Fuck John Boehner with a rusty pitchfork. He is so full of shit that he's turning from orange to brown. I'm tired of these lying fuckwits claiming that refusing to negotiate with a gun to your head is refusing to compromise.

maybe so, but it's a small price to pay to never have to deal with the onswipe redirect BS from intense debate back to wonket ever again. It got real old having onswipe send me from ID to touch, where I had to manually relaunch the desktop version then search through hundreds of comments to see who replied to me, instead of letting it automatically take me straight there. I still use m.safari, but not on any site that has ID or Disqus

Currently reading and (not) commenting on my iPad, works ok for me. But I'm using a very old first generation device, so can't validate iOS 7 compatibility.

I really should upgrade to the giant iPads like Faux News Desk use. Then I'd be cool.
