How great programmers learned their craft (interview)
- altay 19y agoDavid Heinemeier Hansson listens to Jewel?!
- tyler 19y agoThis might get a rise out of some people, but I believe that DHH is completely out of place in that list of hackers, and his response to the question about mathematics makes it painfully obvious. So many things he says make me ashamed to admit I use Rails for most of my coding these days.
- ntoshev 19y agohttp://www.stifflog.com/2006/10/16/stiff-asks-great-programmers-answer/ http://www.stifflog.com/2006/10/16/stiff-asks-great-programm... I think this is the original article, no broken text and Bjarne Stroustrup's answers as a bonus. news.YC has editors, right?
- henning 19y agoVery odd, indeed. If you're going to engage in shameless wholesale scraping as appears to have occurred here (and the site does appear to be a scraper site), why not pick content on a topic that you can monetize (porn/gambling/pharmaceuticals/mortgages/etc) easily?
- jrcapa 19y agoThat is very old, why are you posting it again?
- comatose_kid 19y agoSimple. I didn't know it had been submitted. I did a search before I submitted, but the article didn't come up in the first page or two. One solution would be for news.yc to improve its matching algorithm (perhaps looking at the body of html text, not just the title/url) - most people won't even search for previous articles before submitting.
- g00dn3ss 19y agoThey actually have search? I was trying to find an article the other day and looked all over for a search box. I finally had to resort to a Google site search.
- comatose_kid 19y agoI should have been more clear - I meant I used Google to do a site: search.
- tx 19y agoGuido is awesome. He clearly does not take himself too seriously. :) Linus'es answers were the ones I most agreed with.
