Ask me anything!

Ask me anything!

Ask a question     Read questions

I get a lot of questions by email. This way anyone can read the answer!

Anything means anything. Personal questions. Money. Work. Life. Code. Whatever.

Guidelines

• Ensure your question hasn't already been answered.
• Use a succinct title and description.
• Bugs & feature requests should be opened on the relevant issue tracker.
• Support questions are better asked on Stack Overflow.
• Be civil and polite :)
