Hi there. American living in France and helping others to move to other countries. If you don't speak French, it can be much harder to integrate into French companies, but more and more IT companies in France are growing and realizing that

Every time I've worked anywhere, no matter how simple the problem domain seemed, it always turned out to be far more complicated than I thought at first. Eventually you'll learn that too.

If you think about it as art, does there need to be a punchline? I would actually be disappointed if there was one. In fact, if this were still continuing years from now, that would be truly amazing and definitely worthy of be called "art

Yes. Always be willing to walk away from that deal (I should have pointed that out!), but make sure that if you're at the point where you've decided to do so, that it's impossible to get the other side past that point. Being at that point d

While I loved the sentiment, that was woefully brief and seemed to focus mostly on buying a good, such as a car or toaster. Here's a larger guide. If you think you're close in price, the first person to name a price usually loses For exam

Out of curiosity, how comprehensive is your test suite? For one company I worked for, we actually found PostgreSQL was outperforming Oracle and because of how comprehensive our test suite was, the lead dev connected to PostgreSQL and got 80

Anything by Damian Conway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAf9HK16F-A I've watched him give talks in Klingon. I've watched him explain how to build a supercomputer using laser printers. And who can forget that classic talk, "Temporally Qu

I can understand that. I've made my share of real blunders, too. Still do, but I'm better at hiding 'em :)

Deliberately dropping the database and asked everyone to create a new account just because he couldn't debug an authentication problem? There are times tat I'm truly amazed at how little clue some people seem to have.

At one project I instituted a formatting layout that I didn't like but it had one advantage: it was an automated compromise. My take: I don't give a damn. Whenever I go into a new shop, one of the first things I say is "I don't care what

Reminds me of the time I worked for one company and prior to going public, we called in some Sarbanes-Oxley consultants to vet us. After a thorough SOX compliance effort (which was ridiculous - one recommendation was "print out all source c

I suspect that Google's Blink is part of a plan to make Dart more popular, but even then, I can see it never getting much traction. I can't even imagine how this is the best that anyone could have come up with. I think Google Trends is illu

Except that I've had native French speakers butcher my French on several occasions (my wife is French and she begged me to give up LiveMocha for this reason). The quality of help you get is very hit or miss and if you're not already comfort
