In 1995 I was an expert in setting up Trumpet Winsock, paid to consult on its installation and configuration - even though I had never once installed it myself.
That is to say, I was a tech support lackey, answering the phones and talking to dozens of dialup ISP users daily.
It was a small company, and of the three techs there, none of us were Windows users - two Linux, one Mac. Someone had helpfully printed screenshots of Winsock's various dialog boxes and taped them up around our cubicle. It was enough.
Instagram is an unfortunate necessity for pro photographers in certain fields, such as weddings, simply because that's where the potential customers begin their search. They're not photo enthusiasts, they've never heard of Flickr or 500px, they don't know what clarity and composition are... but they want someone to shoot their wedding, and in their minds Instagram equals photo sharing.
A border around the playfield would help - I keep trying to draw lines that extend slightly outside the browser window, and inadvertently do things like grabbing a bookmark from the bookmarks bar above.
No, people are too lawsuit-crazed these days. Many companies will give no facts about a past employee other than the dates they were employed. Even "would you hire this person again?" can be dangerous.
At one of my past employers, my manager (who sat next to me) told me that he wasn't allowed to say anything whatsoever about past employees - when anyone called to confirm past employment he had to give them HR's phone number, where specially trained operatives would presumably answer the one and only question allowed.
Even just re-running it regularly (and letting site owners know that it's been re-run) would be helpful - as the issues pointed out in your article were largely fixed many months ago, the lack of any sort of movement is unfair and disheartening.
As a Zend Framework refugee, I agree. View stuff belongs in the view.
Additionally, for those of us who works with designers, this gets in the way. My designer-colleague is comfortable editing HAML by now; I want to give him the templates and let him move things around without having to involve me for things like where a label should be.
