That’s what I said in the post… you’re going to fail a lot so get used to it, it’s a learning experience.

The title and the whole use of the word “egregious” is meant to get attention. The issue where I crashed a lot of blogs was more on the level of “very bad” and the others less so. “19th year” means I’m 18… just like this is the 21st century even though we’re in the 2000s.

Anyway, I can’t take you seriously when you use a pseudonym and put noneofyourfuckingbusiness@fu.com as your email address. Have some courage. If you can’t put your name behind your words, they aren’t worth saying.

Wow, this was a very honest post. I don’t agree with the first commenter, but I do agree that it would do you some good to relax a bit. You are still very young and have accomplished a lot. When I was 19 I had absolutely nothing to show for myself, while you have this blog, some other online projects, excellent photography, people who actually read what you have to say, and hundreds of people who find your creations useful. These are all good things, but you also have to be less hard on yourself. Failures happen all throughout life and it’s just the way things are.

I think your one @!cked up person who is likely to go through some serious depression in your lifetime. You need to chill out. My god you’re 19… and the way things seem to be going in your life you’ll be dead before you know it. Life is simple… eat, sleep, love, enjoy, friends, family, then right at the end is make money, don’t make the mistake thinking money comes first as you will have no life…

Well, you are brutally honest in this post, which is a good thing!

You’re right - humans are complete failures, but it’s just our nature. Failing is never a bad thing when we can learn from the experiences, however, and it sounds like you are learning from your experiences!

Congrats on fixing the plugin!
