I have a friend with a web publishing business. She uses guess and check with text edit copy/paste to build websites for clients. I've shown her the console log countless times and she always rolls her eyes when I extoll its value.

She makes 50% more than me, has cash in the bank, and loves her life.

All I have is picking on her javascript. And I'm not even really any good at it.

I think there's no reason to be correct when your goal is to buy food and pay rent.




No offense, but what do you do where a guess-and-check person makes 50% more than you? Is she just hustling for clients who have no idea what they're doing re: web design and using marginal technical knowledge to make pages for them?
