Project manager would probably work for you just fine - have a look at the PMBOK for greater details on what that might entail. Also it is worth considering that marketing is valuable to tech. Your post reminded me of this link, which is pr

You do realize that every time minimum wages are raised like this the cost(s) are simply passed on through to the consumers. The net effect is that the cost base rises with the wage base, so no one actually gets ahead - the nominal price po

Rather than worrying about setting up CI all at one go, what I would suggest you do is structure your personal development workflow around some form of automated testing - either test-driven development or by just frequently running an inte

The only way you're going to get approval for "improving things" is if you can do both of the following: 1. Build a sound business case that shows that there is return on effort for the startup, and 2. Build a proof of concep

Why would this be unreasonable? If I were to propose a scientific theory and a discovery were made that provided evidence that the theory were correct, we would call it good science. Why is it considered anything less to point out that the

I don't think you have enough data points to draw a meaningful conclusion about whether the problem was with you or if it was with the environment you were working in. The best you can do is look at the individual situations and circum

Generally, if you or I take what belongs to another person (wealthy or not) it is called theft. However, when we start talking about governments expropriating wealth for its own ends - such as paying off its spending deficits - that's

Sorry, derleth. It's not a matter of someone defining correct usage. It's simply a matter of looking at the dictionary definitions of the words 'affect' and 'effect'. Affect simply means to influence while effe

Hello derleth: "Effect. As noun, means result; as verb, means to bring about, accomplish (not to be confused with affect, which means "to influence")." http://www.bartleby.com/141/strunk3.html Affec

For correctness, it should be how educated speakers speak English. In this case, I would also settle for "how published authors write English."

There ain't no such thing as a prestige dialect in English. In all of them, "affect change" is just plain wrong.

No, this is not the right way to look at it. Everything started in the state of Texas, where you have to be licensed to have the word "engineer" in your official job title. Since there were a number of "software engineers&quo

The idea of the slow web is quite simple. When an idea has more time in which to incubate, it becomes higher quality. Most of what we encounter via the "fast web" is information bits that are released as close as possible to real-time and w
