Uh I certainly understand although I do believe some of these tools are improvements such as SASS. However it's evident that many of these tools are just arbitrary processes abstracting regular tasks. I'm not too excited about them but I need them to find job opportunities. Also, I don't know what "pakled" means.

I also use sass. Not sure if that's in decline.

Thanks for the link. That solved it.

Is gulp no longer a common industry tool?

A friend recommended the combination of react and D3.js because they're business friendly. D3.js focuses on charts and graphs. Any opinions on that?

I agree that I may need to learn to sell myself better. I've had a number of my peers tell me the same thing. More money is needed for very particular, personal reasons. Simply put: I come from a poorer background by U.S. standards and within my household, I am only person with a lot of earning potential (education and all). More money will help the situation for all of us involved. I currently freelance and teach part time. It's not earning me enough. I think I should get better within this field and learn to better promote my skill set.

Dropbox. At least the Dropbox story suggests they were mostly engineers from the start.

Thanks for reaching out but I had to find some other, faster solution.

I posted another question with a specific problem with no responses so that's why I didn't mention it here. I'm assuming part of my problem is that I don't understand enough of the topic. As is typical, its tricky asking questions about a topic that is very unfamiliar. My specific needs: I am attempting to create a local copy of a live wordpress website. The two tutorials I've found offer the same advice which I followed and doesn't solve my problems. So I want to understand the ins and outs of creating a localhost on OSX and understand how to better troubleshoot when encountering problems.

Nothing?
