Agreed that tech companies will make the switch a lot sooner. What about a GE-types, though? Also, I'm generally bearish on remote-friendly or half-remote. Either the culture is set up for it, or it isn't. You can't be just a

That made sense. I was following along, and then all of a sudden, it just kind of ended. As a layman who doesn't clearly remember B Trees, it would be awesome to have even a sentence at the end, like ...and that's B Trees! Commonl

Danny Crighton has a CS degree from Stanford. I'm not entirely convinced by the article either, but your criticism would be a bit more credible if you managed to avoid being factually wrong.

I'm most curious to see what the stats are deeper into the funnel, specifically: - At what rate do bootcamp grads vs new grads get offers (intro --> offer at portfolio companies)? - Is the above metric significantly different for di

My biggest concern with coding bootcamps as an industry is that the people making the decision about which bootcamp to attend are dramatically under-qualified to make the decision and therefore relatively more prone to both scams and instru

This topic seems less about power and more about invariants. I could imagine a powerful, fully expressive language that does a better job of explicitly stating its invariants. In the `urlpatterns` example, urlpatterns = [ url([m(

I was first introduce to the 'CSS as code' concept by Blake at https://github.com/blakeembrey/react-free-style - worth taking a look if you're considering using one of these tools.

One solution that is not being discussed is for VCs to offer office space for start-ups. VCs have longer time-horizons (a typical VC fund will be spent over 5 or so years) and appear more stable to landlords. In addition, one of the toughes
