'TIS ang panahon… hindi bisitahin ang mga website

Narito ang isang kagiliw-giliw na maliit na piraso mula sa buhay ng isang web developer.

Gusto mong isipin na ang mga tao ay pumunta sa internet na makintab bagong telepono / tablet / toaster nila nakuha para sa kapaskuhan.

Tila, walang ginagawa na. Narito ang isang hitsura sa aking mga pinakabagong mga hit (hindi ang uri ng banda, Ibig sabihin ko ang bilang ng mga bisita sa hathix.com):

Bilang ang maligaya espiritu napupunta, mga pagbisita sa mga website pumunta pababa.

Mula sa kung ano ko na nakita, ito ay tila ang kaso sa medyo magkano ang bawat website at app: pagbisita o download nang masakit bawasan ang panahon ng kapaskuhan. Para sa kung ano ito ay nagkakahalaga ng, things return right back to normal once the new year begins.

Hence, a lot of, siya, programmers (for lack of a better word) go by ninja or such. Which I find slightly annoying – you’re writing code, not killing enemies of the emperor. But I digress.
