My work speaks for itself and I am more than happy to share working codes samples. I had someone offer me a paid test. I refused because I am too busy. By requiring coding tests, employers and managers may be accidentally selecting only de

That explains why I never get email from LinkedIn! Thanks everyone. I do like LinkedIn because its acts like a honeypot for recruiters, they just go there first. Keeps it simple.

"mail that you inadvertently asked for" IS spam. Personally I give them the benefit of the doubt and try to unsubscribe with ONE click. There is no good reason to make people click more than once.

The point is, the original technology is not special at all. Its about branding, name recognition and value. That is why Twitter is not overpriced at all. Neither is Facebook and that website sucks :)

Wrong. Obviously you have never traveled. People in third-world countries that are lucky to have a few photos will keep them as their most prized possessions. When you do ever travel and take photos, make sure to share the photos with the p

I assumed it was written by a man at first as well. Would you take the accusations of sexism stronger if it was coming from a dad? I would.. and there is something wrong with that.

"We were a bunch of stupid fucks".. Guess what? In High School many of us were quite together and tried our best to have fun while avoiding people like you.

Dark patterns are a short-term tradeoff. Ultimately, though your customers will resent you. Its easy for stakeholders to say "So what? We loose a few customers!" However, your company really might be loosing a potential investor,

I really like the redesign. darkpatterns.org is a great resource for people in organizations needing a reference about what NOT to do. I would be great to expand it to include dark patterns in software such as the Ask toolbar trick in the J

Ha! After my wife accidentally missed the checkbox and her laptop was "infected" with the Ask toolbar, I uninstalled Java on all my Windows machines at home. Apparently I don't have any software that is depended on it. If I h
