7 things I’ve learned this week

1) The idea that front-end developers are inferior to back-end developers was not just present at my previous company — it is also at my current job. I actually suspect it’s a standard thing in the entire web development world (except among front-end devs themselves).

2) Apparently I look a little bit like Tom Hardy (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises). Not when he’s playing Bane, the villain in the new Batman movie, but more like this. I’m not sure about this.

3) Creators of web development software such as CodeKit, LiveReload and Coda don’t seem to care much about serving developers who work on Windows.

4) The one movie I am looking forward the most this year, Prometheus, indeed started out as a prequel of Alien, but was stripped from most direct references along the way and is now just a story that takes place in the same universe.

5) A (proper) combination of custom post types and custom fields makes WordPress a lot easier for clients.

6) Lots of drivers use a cell phone while driving, and/or don’t use their flashers to indicate where they’re going. I didn’t care much about this before, but once you walk outside with your kid, you start noticing this a lot more often.

7) #BADA55 is not really that much of a badass color at all.
