UI nit: You should add placeholder text for the signup text input. The fact that it's intended to field email addresses may not be obvious to everyone.

Agreed. Was disheartened to read that the machine's primary use in the coming years will be to build JSF planes instead of infrastructure for new light rail networks.

I'm curious how this will work with Play 2.0, which will be sbt-based.

Any links to example pages? They offer little-to-no info about what the pages actually look like. Why would I use this instead of GitHub?

I recently graduated with a CS degree and turned down an offer from Google in favor of one from Twitter, mainly on the grounds of it being a smaller company (for now). Google is still at the top of my list of BigCo's that I'd consider joini

+1 for Being Geek. It's essentially a well-laid out rehash of Rands' blog posts over the years but I've found it good reading, even with the enormous amount of typos. I'm in the same situation as the OP, so the strategic career advice is mu

Redfin's a good example. They're at every UW CSE career fair and Glenn Kelman (Redfin's CEO) gives talks on campus every now and then. My original comment was a bit too focused on the companies' side of things. I think the main issue is a l

One thing that I think would help is if Seattle startups did more recruiting at UW's CSE department. There's a reason why Seattle startups tend to be founded by ex-MS and -Amazon folks instead of fresh college grads. Very few students here

The main complaint against Gmail search is speed. With a sufficiently large email history, the built-in search becomes unreasonably slow.

Too much overview, not enough meat. Are there any whitepapers available for the Angstrom Project? The publication page of their website just says "coming soon." http://projects.csail.mit.edu/angstrom/Publications.html

This is a lot like an app I wrote a few years ago for a programming contest. It uses the same technique to generate random invention descriptions using patent application abstracts: http://eurekaapp.com/ (Yes, I realize how unreasonably s

Funny that the same demographic will likely be the ones implementing the tech that necessitates such parasitic behavior.

I agree that JavaScript is a very good thing to learn, but it seems odd that the article doesn't even mention server-side JS. Yes, jQuery is wonderful, but a large share of the things that are getting people excited in the JS community late

I always cringe a bit when I come home for the holidays and get praise from family on my purported intelligence and achievements. I feel as though this mentality kept me intellectually fat and happy for most of my teenage years, inhibiting

I can definitely echo your feeling of lost potential in my earlier years. I too am a current college student and wish I could go tell my 15-year-old self to learn Python instead of spending most of my free time playing Counter-Strike.

I don't understand the trend in colossal Android phones. I get that having a bigger screen is nice, but it seems to me that if the phone doesn't fit comfortably in your pocket, then you're doing it wrong.
