Chris, thanks so much for doing this AMA. You have been doing CSS-Tricks for a while now and the consistency of growth and expansion of the project and business is awesome.
Can you describe a few of the big "inflection points" you've gone through in building the business?
Hiring is always a big one. I remember so clearly that feeling of what it's like to hire someone for the first time. The feeling you take them on and start paying them, you're earning exactly that much less money, which is a scary feeling. I've still not really taken the full plunge on CSS-Tricks, where everyone that works there is part-time only, partially due to me needing to baby-step outgoing money to make sure the value from having people working is high enough to offset the cost. Typically, it is, but you still gotta be smart about it.
