Keep in mind this is a hypothesis and lacks significant supportive evidence. Even after 38 years.

What's the Internet for if not hyperbole and over generalization?

I vetted the company by talking with a friend who works there and by being mindful throughout the interviewing process. So I have a reasonable expectation. I had other great offers and I've worked in a lot of different kinds of compani

Quit gracefully. Even the taking the first step can be relieving.

This a thousand times. I just quit a job because the work was dull, unimportant and consisted largely in cleaning up other people's messes. I'm replacing it with a job at a company with high values and strong ethics, a profitable

This makes me wonder about the negative feedback inherent in code reviews.

That's the best point made yet - use TDD only if it's appropriate.

DHH's use of hyperbolic metaphors discredits the point he's trying to make. He has no factual argument so he exaggerates small points and maligns practitioners. It's sad.

Great innovation. That invasive carp is crap for ecosystems.

It's sad, but there's no fact or even research behind Galdwell's "10000 hour" thing. Like most of his books, it's just made up bs.

I agree it's a business model. Unfortunately I don't think many of the startup participants are aware they are the product.

Research trumps all :)

"Let instinct trump logic" - bad advice. Instinct is simply pattern matching current conditions against memory. Without experience, instinct is a poor criteria and logic should be employed. Read Kahneman for the supporting researc

Shareware was a great increment from the publisher model. And then of course, AppStore is the real game changer.

Exactly. The first step for replacement is decommissioning existing coal plants. As there's no (or little) political will to do this, the private sector (and specifically those that recognize the problem) can act directly. And since it

How about a Kickstarter for buying coal plants and turning them off.

It wasn't meant to be rude. My apologies for the ambiguity between tongue in cheek and rudeness. Were this wikipedia or Stackoverflow I'd have just fixed it - I knew what you meant, of course. The tongue in cheekiness comes from a

I refrained for commenting on it for as long as I could. I weighed the non-native speaker too but finally old George Bush quotes pushed me over the edge. ;)

Also, fix your damn title. "Our college is learning us outdated technology". Really?
