That's pretty genius actually. Women definitely tend to be more interested in men who are being sought after by other women.

I'm -$110k in net worth (due to student loans). Wonder what percentile that makes me.

Cool stuff. Was planning to do something similar but never got around to implementing the client-side rendering bit ( http://www.jbernier.com ). The codebase I work on at work is also isomorphic JS with React. Sharing client/

Care to elaborate? Sounds like you've struck gold.

Most CS students aren't aiming to be computer scientists (which typically requires a PhD), they just want a job. And software engineering jobs demand CS degrees. I'm glad that people are creating alternatives to the traditional 4-

Well obviously the work of an incompetent programmer is going to increase the long run cost of maintaining code. That has nothing to do with the fact that Javascript is faster to develop in.

There needs to be a way to filter out remote jobs.

One more advantage of Node.js over Java is that development is much faster with Node.js.

By obsolete, he probably meant that new companies wouldn't be adopting it anymore, and that the only jobs left would involve maintaining legacy code.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure starting salaries at GS and other banks are around $80-90k + a small bonus (10-20%?). Not bad, but definitely less than Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and other major tech

College didn't teach me how to learn. Working a job where I was forced to learn (because my paycheck and the company itself depended on it) taught me how to learn. In the real world, there's no answer key, and no professors or TAs

There's nothing pedantic about it. Out of all the internships/jobs I've had, the far majority of anything I ever did was learned on the job. Often it was without much help or direction, and thus I was forced to teach myself.

Say you need to build an iOS app. Are you going to hire a guy with a CS degree, or a guy with 4 years experience building iOS apps and the portfolio to back it up? I'm not saying that skipping college is a smarter choice (for most peop

I majored in math. If you're doing full-stack web dev (what this guy seems to be doing), it's useless. You'd only need math if you were doing something like machine learning or computer graphics. And like I said, there's

Don't listen to this guy, you don't need a degree (unless you're trying to be a doctor or lawyer). Most people are better off with a degree in the same sense that most people are better off taking an offer from Google over pu

They're ~$500 and ~$600... Anyone know where I can get a standing desk (don't care if it's adjustable) that isn't insanely expensive?

Thank you for this comment, seriously. I hear a lot of producers talk about the importance of music theory, but I've never actually seen anything useful. All it is is notation. Notation by itself is meaningless and does not make anybod
