SOP is the death of Asia. This is why I'm in business. Their processes don't

allow for creation. I spend a large amount of time in mainland China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Thailand...When I hire work offshore, it's project based and exact instructions and direction must be given. I don't share everything with a single group over there. They love to copy.

Yes - very important. It's one of the basic blocks of human decency.

You are considered low income at a household income of $105K in the City of SF

Yep. Hence the reason why I'd request a bare minimum of $150k.

I hope this wasn't this decade. Haven't heard the term HTML for a while.

It's still a common term used by non-web-devs. I hear it all the time.
