That's very interesting commentary and thanks for the links! I had a poke-walker,dreamcast vmu,playstation pocket/pocketstation when I was growing up. Moving those style of apps onto a smartphone is GENIUS!

I guess not professional appearance but professional standards. Ex.I might expect a professional python programmer to follow PEP8 code style. I think rather than coding like boy or coding like girl, we should be aspiring to be professional

Is it fair to say putting your heart into something makes you an amateur at something ? I dunno, this feels off. Did I misunderstand the analogy ?

I care. I like to know the truth not the marketing angle. Do you mind explaining ?

Why can't we just code like professionals ? Sidenote: Disclaimer: I was heavily influenced by my Biology professors. I don't think society evolved in vacuum separate from genetic evolution. So while I don't appreciate insulti

This was very surprising to me. I'm glad you linked it. I have definitely changed my mind about ted. The fact they forced Eddie to have a roommate is weird, and creepy. It seems like humans just can't live with out religion.

I agree, it's not professional. Those don't belong in the workplace, and I admire the way the guest poster went about convincing her coworkers. Sorry I wasn't clear, when I was referring to she, I meant the creator of the web

I wonder if she understands the role of idealized forms in art, or idealized forms fit into everything. We see them not only in comic books, but also on the covers of romance novels. We also see them in roman statues for both genders. Edit:

that's a really cool idea.

that's frightening. Sounds like one of pitches in the last episode of HBO's silicon valley.

I'm a little paranoid about my code. I want to like github's private repos, but I don't want my code to be stolen by github's internal employees. I've heard that their employees do shady things on occasion (2nd hand

In era of flux and untested laws, no one wants to be a scapegoat or a trial run. I really feel for Aaron Swartz, and I think I might have easily done the same thing as him. I dunno how or what, but we need dramatic changes in the law about

cool. Soylent actually sounds like what some people on Hackernews told me about called the "velocity diet", a nearly liquid diet that's mainly protein powder.

I apologize, I misread the paper. Also Thanks for the correction and the paper. I really appreciate it!

Yea, It can get you fired. I've seen it happen. This article is too idealistic, and doesn't take into account businesses have business politics or peoples ego's.

Seriously this times a lot. At one unnamed ivy league university I went to, there were tons of chinese kids, not chinese americans. They made no effort to integrate, because they seriously were only there to study engineering, go back to ch

Edit/Update: I apologize, I misread the paper. There are 5 different studies/experiments of varying quality. I'm going to read this paper more closely to look at the the participates of all five. I left the unedited comments

True, but I've noticed programming like some of the other STEM fields are a lot harder to fake skills than some other fields. I'm not saying its impossible to fake development skills, just saying its harder than some other fields.

I'm interested in these studies, I think they might be useful to me in a professional context. Do you mind linking me ? Thanks

I feel the same way, but I often have encountered women only spaces quite a bit. Some of my friends like them, and call them safe spaces. I'm not defending the practice, but I can see how it's not that strange that a gender would

I found the part of the article where it talks about the what if situation about Japan getting rid of work visa to be really interesting. Honestly it shocked me, and has changed the way I think. Also I never thought of it this way, but femi

From what I've heard, most companies will do the explicit math and decide whether to keep him or not. It's not unheard off. Personal Anecdote: I've known a friend, who keeps the most obnoxious programmer around at his compan

This is the best advice I've seen. Also I'd like to add,if you can don't escalate to a lawsuit prematurely. A lot of companies avoid hiring a person who files lawsuits against corporations. Its unfair, but its how the real w

I agree. I felt the exact same way. Also Zach somehow sounds extremely professional and personal at the same time too. Got to say I'm impressed, and I too know the pain of getting laid off.Reading this article makes me feel alot better

I do agree with you, that is the general scientific consensus. I made that statement vague because new data is emerging about the telomere network,so I'm not sure what is the current correct way to think about telomere's. Some ne

I would like to recommend the clean coder books on the list. They really saved my butt when I was fresh graduate. I wasn't sure how the whole business software cycle works or how to communicate effectively with other people in the comp

This article makes me wonder if I work in a weird microcosm of the tech world. Where I work, half the programmers dress in t-shirt,jeans (both men and women 50/50 actually) and then the other half of programmers(again 50/50) dress

I'm not sure of that analogy. Somehow telomeres are thought to connected to aging. http://www.progeriaresearch.org/cbs-monday-night.html Cancer cells can extend their telomeres, and are also immortal. I imagine them to

I see. That's a good point, its difficult to say if DNA has no junk. So I'm going to avoid the categorical issue, of junk,non junk,essential,redundant(but useful in a replication failure). maybe My thoughts are this, DNA is not us
