Fellow web designers and frontend developers, get to know each other well. You both will be dinosaurs in this industry if you don't combine your skill sets. Can't design? Learn to love backend fast. This is isn't an opinion, it's reality and it's already here. Save your career!

@Codeanywhere Is your system down? Getting endless load animation with a few console errors. Tried on multiple browsers. Cleared all caches. Help?

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

@ixisweatLive Had a tiny little piece of cannon fodder hanging from my boot there. LOL

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

Every good Soldier had their days as a soup-sandwich private. Just found proof of mine... my NCO took this picture right before he smoked me. Can you spot why?

This is my new favorite video of all time.
The United States Marine Corps. It just means more 🦅🌎⚓️

@SCMNomad I've always believed that mobile gaming is the future. It's ridiculously accessible and has the ability to offer powerful experiences. It's just been stifled by the cancer of pay-to-win and recycled cash-grab titles. @PlayCODMobile has IAP, but the fun doesn't rely on it at all.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

I'm just gonna say it... @PlayCODMobile is a huge step in the right direction for mobile gaming.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

Mobile gaming has such remarkable potential. It's just plagued with a debilitating disease in today's market: In-App Purchases revolving around RNG rewards that are crucial toward end-game success. There are a few standouts though that keep my faith alive.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

I bought my kids a Nintendo switch for Christmas and it kills me to see them playing the SAME games on their tablets. I'm like... look how much better it looks on THIS! No dice. Accessibility wins the game. This really got me thinking about the future of gaming.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

I'll be trying to show them how cool my monster gaming PC is, and how awesome the power of it is. 5 minutes later, they're playing Roblox on their iPad with a huge smile on their face.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

So, I have a confession. More and more as I get older, I've become increasingly interested in mobile gaming. I blame my kids – they've shown me that accessibility will always far outweigh graphics in future generations. They will gravitate toward a phone or tablet instinctually.

@Luetin09 Good talk 🤙🏻 Back to my T-Ball game before I get in trouble.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

@Luetin09 Neither did I until I had a family, honestly. I’m not a huge guy, but I’m not worried on my own. I’m a different thinker than most on this issue, though. Less about pride and rights, more about protecting my family and friends.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

@Luetin09 Always love your view on things! Much respect! These are the conversations that keep things balanced. Too far in one direction or the other would never lead to anything good.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

@Luetin09 But you also have far fewer metropolitan areas with populations of 250,000 or greater, which is where crime rates really start to swell. It’s really hard to compare country to country, or even city to city, with their being so many factors to consider in what breeds violent crime

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

@Luetin09 Because if it came down to a confrontation with someone dead set on hurting me or one of my team, I want the unfair advantage. Not to kill them, but to stop the confrontation as quickly as possible. Not worried about thugs, more a tweaker that’s out of his mind or something.

[Sergeant Merrell @SergeantMerrell]

@Luetin09 I work downtown and have about 70% female staff. It’s a big city and crime happens. We’ve had a few incidents, but usually presence alone is enough to deter a problem. I doubt I’d ever have to draw, and it would take a LOT for me to, but I’m thankful I have that right.
