Do you really need a mentor? Or just a list of good books and path to take? What is your experience with other programming languages? On the mentor charge, I think trying to get a mentor and pay a per hour thing maybe wrong. I mean, I can

Well, I did leave the industry in 2008, but last 2 projects I worked on we used Unreal Engine and the ratios for software developers vs everything else (except publisher's people) were about those 30% I mentioned. We didn't have m

Unless things changed in the last 5 years or so, your numbers are way off base. Last game I worked it was around 100 dev people where 30% was software development, and from those 30% maybe 20% were tooling support.

While you should do what you think is best for you, but since you mentioned training, remember, top athletes don't train 80h a week. They need rest, and your body and mind need rest too. And this is coming from someone that used to wor

But that is because 2 year old babies see their parents doing those gestures on that shiny black square and try to imitate them. I have a dumb phone with actual keyboard. My kid grew up watching me use it and understands the concept of keys

I open sourced mine ( https://www.github.com/brunosousa/wireframes ) but I don't think anyone has taken an interest in that project. But if you really have no plans to continue working on it, just put it on GitHub

I've gotten the advice of using the bedroom only for sleep and (well other very specific things) but I personally have no problem to fall asleep after using my computer in bed. Programming or watching a movie or surfing the web. I hone

While I'm not going to get into good or bad about vegan/meat eaters, you do know that the China Study has been heavily criticised for selective data picking right? Thus, just because he was part of it doesn't mean he is a rel

Yep, and it is a pain with the damn note colours. Always confuse the hell out of me having lived both in the UK and Gib.

I see these from some co-workers as well, but honestly, I carry my car keys, my wallet and a cell phone (a stupid dumbphone even). I leave my work at work, and at home I have my machine for whatever. I see +90% of the people on my commute (

For me, the worst part is two years in the industry doing small part time gigs and the author thinks he is smarter than most of the other people there. And after one year of 'debugging, refactoring and getting the build to work' h

Look, I don't think the parent was attacking you directly, just explaining what may have happen from their perspective. Personally, unless you lied on the interview and were able to bullshit me into the job or you didn't shower, c

Why 80%? I've worked in various companies with 3 months probation (actually, quite common in my country) and it was fine, but never for a % of the salary (unless it included % less time at the office)

For that kind, you don't really need any specific software. You can do it in Ruby/Python/Haskell/Whatever. As long as you can communicate with an API (Yahoo Finance to download the data for example and one broker that al

careers.stackoverflow.com has some remote jobs posts (they have an 'allow remote' flag, but a lot of times they actually don't, but some do). There is also weworkremotly.com and some github.com ones, but you can check jobmote

No it isn't. <s> Of course it is easy to find a spouse that supports you, buy a house you can rent easily (wonder what will happen when the tenant leaves), have a nest egg ready so you can afford to not have a living salary. <

I wonder why people keep picking on .net/java with this kinds of assumptions. Isn't GitHub running Rails 2.3 or something? Why just 'attack' the .net/java stacks?

For me and my wife (before our son was born, of course!) we usually read about 50% of the daily newspaper (Publico) and just about 100% of the weekly one (Expresso). We usually would take the newspaper to the beach or a cafe, spend a few ho

I think what he was trying to say is that these actions aren't really related to misogyny at all since they are also directed towards men, but general human idiocy.

Ok, first of all, congratulations! I remember being 15 and hacking away (It was Turbo Pascal for me). Ignore any naysayers that complain there is no code or it was done with a simple tool. Do what you like and enjoy. But now on a more serio
