As far as I know, I don't personally know anyone who: - has AIDS or is HIV+ - is being restricted from enjoying a freedom due to religious dogma - who has been a rape victim - who has been bullied in school for being gay - who has been disc

“You are either building, selling or leaving.” I like pithy witticisms like this - reminds me of something business guru Peter Drucker said: "Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two--and on

Best quote in the article: “You live your life prospectively and tell your story retrospectively, so it looks like everything is converging.” Sometimes it is easy to get discouraged when you look at the success of others, especially when wh

Thinking about moving my domains - any suggestions on the best alternative? Update: For what it's worth, here's a reddit link that lists a number of alternatives: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/no1ux/reddit_if_o...

Even though you felt you went to more meetings and therefore had a "broader view of the business", perhaps the project managers also attended meetings that you were not involved in, which gave them insights you could not have possibly known

What a great post. Being Canadian, something didn't sit right with me with the Gretzky quote. I think the corrected version "skate to where the puck is going to be" is likely what the author meant. Here are two of Gretzky's actual quotes:

True class is knowing when to voice an opinion and when to remain quiet, no matter how much truth you feel your words hold. I've had to learn that the hard way.

"INTO the midst of things" things could be very fitting as well, depending on your thoughts on the after life. Some choose to believe we join a party already in full swing...

Another suggestion to consider. Try not to use "but" because it is a flag that you are about to discount what you just said. Here's an alternative to the above, where you simply replace "but" with "and". (Also note saying why you like somet

"We become that with which we busy our minds." Don't know who said it, but I love it. And I think it's a good tl;dr for this post.

I think one needs to be careful of the reasoning that goes something like "X makes it easy for people to do things poorly, which makes my job harder, and therefore X is bad." I've heard the same argument against PHP. "PHP is so easy to use

A mistake I’ve seen in the past is that these types of decisions (i.e. which framework or library, should I even use a framework, etc.) are made for technical reasons rather than business reasons. What are your goals? Are you building an

I remember reading a J.K. Rowling quote from one of the Potter books that goes something like "...people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right." I've learned that "they" probably won't come to you the "next
