So 140k is just OK - what is good then? What is your base salary and bonus expectation? For example if I talk to a Netflix engineer and promise work-life balance (no weekend, 7 hr/day average vs 12 hr), I still need to go 180k+ with 2k bonu

What is your target salary? (Serious question) I find very hard to hire good developers in the Valley. Offering 140k does not help much, I always have to go the long route (convince them we're growing, find a personal challenge etc). Ryan S

It depends why you distribute. He says "key developers might be OK, cheap developers are not." And "at our stage of development we were better off with a smaller, locally-based team."

Sync is not just for integration. With large files it is good to have everything local before you try to open. Of course it takes up a lot more space.

One of the major reasons why I went with Scala was the seamless Java interop. There are 1000s of great and well tested components available. Apache, IBM, Yahoo etc. invested years in these, most of the time it just works. There might be som

I updated the README with some additional info. Java and Scala have essentially the same bytecode output as both compilers were written by Martin Odersky. There are many links below: free books, PDFs, articles, videos, tutorials. Or just Go

You don't have to use the sbt script provided here. It's just for convenience: it will automatically install Java, Scala and dependencies. Run it and you don't have to hunt down anything from the web. If you have SBT already installed (with

My take on "Should I care about Scala?" question: - If you're average or below average developer: the language does not matter. Focus on algorithms and read other people's code a lot. - If you are using anything other than Java: consider te

I tried IntelliJ, but the Scala plugin had a lot of bugs. Eclipse on the other hand is pretty good now: http://scala-ide.org/ Personally I find the SBT Scala file much simpler than a Maven XML.

There's no limitation: you can use any 3rd party Java library from Scala. We do it in production for years, works perfectly. It's true that Scala DSL is scary. As far I know soon (version 2.10?) you will have to add a compiler flag to enabl

They can't upgrade. Hospitals and big companies lock down the computers, you can't install anything. If it comes with IE7, that's all you got. And it's not because of these companies. E.g. they need to run a specific custom version of SAP (

I agree, our Enterprise app still has a lot of IE7 visits. Roughly 10% IE7, 30% IE8, 25% IE9, 17% Chrome, 12% Firefox, 6% Safari. No IE10 yet, not even one.

It always depends on the situation. :) C++ encourages hiding the data inside an object, in which case the lifetime of the data will be the same. Sometimes the wrapped data has to be exposed directly, e.g. graphics pipeline needs direct acce
