    The answer explanations were extremely focused on work, office and corporate drone-ship. Almost as if this was written by some maniac HR department. Also: Hoping for the best while expecting the worst does mean being realistic and expect (possible) failure and to prepare for it just in case. While hoping it will all turn out as good as you also are expecting. Sorry, might have worded this a little poorly.

    Question 10: If you wait till your website is old and/or breaking down, you are too late. Websites need to innovate constantly or you'll lose customers. So never go for the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" approach.
