Another RAPIDFIRE episode of ShopTalk! No guests, no #hotdrama, no news, just all steaming hot question on answer action. We talk about (roughly in order):

• Golden rules for freelancers or sub contractors for protecting themselves.
• What to do when your working environment is getting too complicated for you to feel effective.
• What happens with ems on retina displays? Do they change? What about rems?
• How do you load mobile specific stylesheets in WordPress with wp_enqueue_style()?
• Should you use fake data for development in the early days of a web app?
• Can you size icon fonts like you might size an image in a flexible design, taking up 100% of the width of a container like an image might?
• Is it OK to use Dreamweaver for a code editor?
• I’m 16 – what should my hourly rate be?
• Can you convert CSS into SCSS?
