Calling For Questions – Mailbag!

By  on  

As my website has grown, I've received numerous emails asking me questions about things ranging from MooTools, to PHP, to CSS, to what I do in my free time. While I'm very open about everything I do, answering the same questions repeatedly can get a little old.

For this reason, I would like to request questions for a "mailbag" post I'll be periodically doing on the website. Please place any questions you have about my job, programming style, expertise, education, or what TV shows I watch below. I'm really excited to get this feature started on my website. I often wonder about other developers so I can only assume some people wonder how I go about life.

Please place your questions in a comment below. I look forward to answering them!
