    Google will begin flagging AI-generated images in Search later this year

    This is great for numerous reasons. Scams come to the top of my mind, but this move will also.allownactual photographers and designers to thrive again. It may take time but things will start looking up for them soon.

    How do you handle user data?

    We use encryption on transit and at rest for all user data. Then zero trust protocols for server and backend access . We also have encrypted backups for everything in case we need to destroy and rebuild everything . At the end of the day, it's about good data handling practices, never...

    Dark or light mode?

    There is a lot of discussion online about this topic and people seen to be divided. For me, I am dark mode everything on my phone, computer and IDE. The only time I go light mode is if I am working on a website that requires me to see both versions or when a website or app implements dark mode...

    New evidence claims Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon could be listening to you on your devices

    The only problem is that 99.99% of people give up those rights and their privacy when they agree to the terms and conditions when signing up or agree to new ones when they are updated without reading them.

    What's the meaning of your username?

    Mine is boring; just my first and last name. I also use it on many sites so it's easier to remember if I keep only one.

    Keyword Research: Before Writing or After Writing

    Both. I mostly research before writing, but I can pause to do additional research when writing and some more after I am done to better align the content with the preferred SEO outcome.

    Do you research before you start writing?

    It depends. If it is a topic I know a lot about or that I have worked on recently, I do not need to research. However I do light to heavy research depending on recency and how often the domain I am writing in changes. For example, I cannot guarantee something I said in a tech article two...

    Do you have someone else proofread your work before you publish it?

    I proof and edit my work myself. However, I have let an editor. Heck my work before submitting. Sometimes I get compost in the work that I miss some things that are painfully obvious to other people. Things like repeating phrases or wording sentences in a weird way. I mostly catch those, but an...

    Have you ever had your work rejected by a client?

    Not rejection but heavy edits. Sometimes the voice does not match or you do not capture what the client wants to say exactly how they want to say it. To avoid this, I advise getting as deep as you can during the initiql discussion. Understand what they need and ensure they do too. That is the...

    Laravel raises $57 million from Accel

    Many developers have said they their employers or clients have not switched over to Laravel because they do not think it's a serious framework or that "php" sucks. Perhaps this investment will get Laravel the respect and recognition it deserves, which would only mean the demand for Laravel devs...

    How do you stay motivated while coding?

    Celebrating small wins. A sense of accomplishment, no matter how small the accomplishment, can keep you motivated. It can also make coding feel more fulfilling, make you feel you have a purpose, and puts you in the mental state you are achieving something instead of typing away. Some of these...

    Are You a Full-Time vs. Part-Time Freelancer?

    I am a full time freelancer. I have never been part time because I jumped into this type of work when i had no choice but to make it work. Is it challenging sometimes? Yes, it is. But I would not change anything about my work right now

    How to Transition from a Full-Time Job to Freelancing

    I would also say that you should not make the full transition until you have locked in a least one solid freelance client. You do not want to leave your job only to find that you are now out of work and your savings are dwindling without knowing when the next payment will come

    Do you always maintain delivering on your expected time of delivery?

    I always deliver on time, but I have a code for that. I always overestimate the time I need by 25%. Say I need three hours to finish something, I will say I need four. This does two things. It gives me enough time to deliver the best products and services, and it impresses the client if I am...
