Pretty good post. Writing on pure impulse is good for practice and discipline and short-length things, but it won't help you when you need to write a ton of stuff that has flow and needs to be coherent. It is great for a first 'dr

The field has to accept some knowledge deficits if it's going to pretend to meet business demands. I thought the original post heavily implied that the 'dumber' programmer shouldn't be hired or have a job; are we going t

I didn't like his book and I didn't like this post, mostly because it involves a lot of 'magic functions', black-box advice, and repeated (boring) information. Most of this self-help stuff can be abstracted out to "

I have to second this. I made the best progress learning and building when I was stocking shelves at Target for $8 an hour in a rich neighborhood. I've experienced many of these sentiments. Unfortunately, I took this position after gra

Maybe I'm the clueless aspie here, but that sounds like the consequences of having a dominant-personality team that doesn't respect boundaries. But, at the end of the day, teams can hire who they want, so I definitely don't t
