Please critique my website; It's a statistics site.
Thanks for the feedback James, appreciated. The light one does seem to be the preferred one from others I've asked too. A mobile version may appear one day, but as this is for the corporate environ I've made it low priority (Firefox also has a mobile-toggle in its dev-toolbox). Does anyone have any suggestions for potential improvements to the lighter one?

What are some of the worst user experiences you've had on the web?
Sites that require JavaScript despite being simple affairs. forbes.com is a prime example. I can see why it's required for sites that draw lots of data in (i.e. statistics applications), but things where the results can easily be presented to the end user as a static page? That's just bad design.

Please critique my website; It's a statistics site.
Hi, I'm looking for some feedback on my site. Like many "developers", my design skills aren't as strong as I'd like, so I thought I'd ask the experts (that's you!). It's a statistics site with charts and tables drawn from doing some log analysis. It will be used by corporate users; both technical and non-technical alike. I've come up with a couple of different styles so far (the "light" is my preferred one): Light Theme Dark Theme There's no mobile version (maybe one day... if I ever get a mobile device to test it on). Any feedback welcome, but especially colour, layout, style, structure. Thanks!

Is it true that most programmers can't program?
I chose my degree to avoid programming while still being IT because I hated programming (I'm an INTP too btw). I still ended up doing some, and have been intermittently coding for > 15 years now. I think the general consensus is that most programmers aren't great. They're... well, ok. It depends on the audience. I can do things that a non-IT type would think is amazing, but compared to the likes of Linus Torvalds and his ilk... I don't even register (that said, he has some things to answer for about the awful design for GIT ... :-) ). There are many different types of programmers - I absolutely suck at compiled languages (C, Java etc), but am passably decent at the scripting languages (i.e. Python, PHP). As long as you can solve problems, it's just a matter of the syntax, although sometimes I do come across problems that are too tricky for me to solve, so I don't. I have limits; I'm happy to push them, but I know what I cannot do. Also - almost all programmers are rubbish at crytography. *Never* roll your own cryptography, well, not unless your name is Bruce Schnier.. (and he'd probably say you should use a team of experts).

Vivaldi
Has anyone tried the new Vivaldi browser (https://vivaldi.com/ It uses the Blink (Chromium) engine; it's created by the folks who created Opera, and aimed at power-users (so I suspect many here).

How long did it take you to learn web development?
The general running premise is that it takes about 10,000 hours of doing something to become an expert. Part of the problem with web stuff is the target is moving *very* quickly compared to most other fields, so there's always the need to learn lots more. Become an aircraft mechanic or something; those things fly for decades relatively unchanged. :-)

Rate my Blog Design
I think the main element boxes are a little close together. Maybe a few more pixels between them?

Thoughts/Improvements - First Time Website
You don't have any < noscript > tags. I realise I'm in a minority, but anyone sane browses the internet with JavaScript off by default. Also, 8.5 MB is *very* large.
