Especially with the type of technical work that's so predominate on the west coast. A lot of that work could be moved to cheaper interior parts of the country.

IMHO the thing to get excited about is the potential for a somewhat ubiquitous UI to get my stuff done; not the NPL. Hopefully NPL will continue to improve and be leveraged more in the UI. But right now, the prospect of ditching the seeming

Yeah, if there really is a "simplification" market why just built out a number of useful data services over SMS and encourage folks to buy old feature phones with just talk and text functionality.

> creating currency out of thin air But this is one of the main things central banks do. They have a monopoly to counterfeit money. And in conjunction with their affiliated government people are forced to use it to pay taxes.

> There's a way of living that felt right to him and he reasoned himself into thinking it was "best" Yep, and this is at the core of C.S. Lewis' work. To me the notion of a base morality contrived by man seems wildly

I can't up-vote this comment enough. I've been saying web apps are broken for about 15 years. In the beginning everyone gets bent out of shape over technologies attempting to standardize like Flash and Applets. And since then ever

Yeah, it's interesting that more dev folks don't know Notes as a powerful NoSQL technology but just as a crappy email client. Also, not widely known; Domino server was/is really good at clustering and data replication.

It's these types of issues I believe a massive coalition could be built around. Without attempting to ignite a flame war here, I'll just say it would not surprise me at all if this fellow was a Trump supporter nor would it surpris

The primary reason is middle an upper management's holy grail quest to commoditize knowledge work and turn software development into an automotive assembly line.

Yeah, I used to take intersession courses back in my college days where I focused on one course for four weeks. That fit my mode of study way better than taking 4/5 technical courses at the same time. Doing a deep dive on one subject a

Reminds of the Napkin look and feel for Java Swing apps. I worked on a project where we only demoed the Napkin L&F to our customers until we were feature complete. The idea was to keep them focused on functionality.

Yeah, to me SQL Mappers like MyBatis are usually the way to go. I don't want the power of SQL abstracted away from me in most cases. If I had a nickel for every time I've seen code using an ORM framework fetching a set of ids and

I came to say the same thing. I appreciated the blog post but the example was overly contrived. The addToCart method should have been passed the objects the ids were representing and should not have been responsible (even via delegation) fo

I hear what your saying but there's a whole host of other fields that seem to pull it off. Other than the fact that software is not bound by physical constraints, I really don't see the major differences. I think we're just f

A big part of the problem IMO is the software development community has gravitated toward rate compensation instead of product compensation. A composer is commissioned to deliver a product and is compensated for said product, not for the ti

This is interesting and sad to me. Sad because it's at least one data point that refutes a theory I've had. I've been on a job search for some time now in the same field which you're employed. I've had a number of i

I've enjoyed your posts in this thread but I have a question. How are the projects you allude to fundamentally different than PayPal, iPay, GooglePay, Venmo or just strait up Visa or MC?

If I can't buy, let's say... heroine completely anonymously with FedCoin then I think the whole spirit of the initial vision has been violated. Call me crazy but I don't think this is what's envisioned by those that woul

Bingo! In the US at least, it's the "bad actors" responsibility to keep up with the State in a technological arms race when the State continually pushes closer to "Precogs" as a means of law enforcement.

100% agree. I hate paying for TV which still has ads. It's why almost all content I consume through the flat screen in the living room now is either Netflix, Amazon or Youtube. About the only thing I watch OTA or via Sling now is sport

I believe in the, quite common, context just used it's meant as non-parallel. Or the two ideas don't track at all.

I agree with this approach. It seems that one of the consequences of "Agile" is a general reluctance to invest a fair bit of time upfront thinking about interfaces. It's as if the interface design process somehow became assoc

Yeah, in general, if you determine you're the best player in the band and have been so for a while then it might be time to consider changing bands.
