Re:Shopify Overtakes eBay as Second Biggest Shopping Site After Amazon

Fair and thank you for that updated information (I knew they were using it as recent as 2017 but didn't know they had changed it), but it still goes to show the types of companies being built on the Shopify platform versus the drop-shipping flea market bins of Amazon.
If you're building a real brand, you're building a relationship with your customers that you own. You're going to do it on your own terms because you can drive your own audience.

Why should they be connected to each other?
Tesla.com is powered by Shopify. They sell all of their vehicles through their site since they don't deal with dealerships.
Likewise Kylie Cosmetics is powered by Shopify. That's a billion dollar brand that's not going to be OK with being placed in a dusty corner of Amazon. They have enough brand value to drive their own audience through their own channels (Instagram, Snap, Twitter, etc).

supply vs demand my friend.
Anyone can hit rocks in a mine. It might be hard and stressful work, but anyone can do it.
Not anyone can make decisions and lead an entire group of people.

Re:Poll: How long have you been programming?

Good sir, are you human?
This is incredibly awesome! At age 12, I probably didn't even know what programming entailed.
I really wish I did though.
Re:Poll: What is your primary operating system

I use OSX and love it. For personal use its awesome and feels a lot like linux when I need it to, but when I actually need linux for work, I can just ssh through the terminal and its awesome!
I love how its very easy to develop on OSX because it comes with a lot of dev tools preinstalled. Not that it takes any effort to get your own personal environment set up, but its just nice how they package that all together.

You realize Macbook touchpads are buttons right?
They have left click and right click with button action. It's just as intuitive as having 2 separate buttons, and even more so because of how customizable it is.

You wouldn't know until you've used the touchpad on an Macbook.
Give it a try for 1 week. Guarantee you won't be able to go back.
What to (or not to) put on a personal website?
I want to make a personal website for myself that would potentially have a blog, resume, projects, etc on it and I was wondering what is a good idea to put on the site and what isn't such a good idea?Others have told me not to put my resume up because it won't really be useful at all. I also have concerns with what an employer might think when he/she looks at the blog and whether its a good...
