They're working on world-changing problems. This is ultimately the best answer. Don't get me wrong, Facebook are a phenomenal company who genuinely do incredible things but from a long term perspective, the variety at Google is infinitely

The hate is strong in this one. Act like an adult and rant to Ed in private. I'm sure you feel aggravated by his comment but your anger serves no purpose in a public forum. If you feel the comment is inappropriate then simply downvote it an

Just going to hijack your comment to let folk know that I've been in touch with Ed today and he's doing perfectly fine, just exceptionally busy lately.

I've no doubt that there are some 'power users' who tend to err on the side of arrogance, however there are plenty of well known users who's opinions I actively seek out simply because they are experts in their field and their insights are

You may have established that not many SME's have a system but have you established that they need one? I'm part of a management team that oversee's approximately 100 people and managing vacation time is insanely low on my priority list sim

Point 2 isn't particularly clear. Is there a market for a product aimed managing vacation time for employees? What price range had you in mind? Also agree with the screenshot comment. Some copy amendments: #1 Should read: Collect vacation r

We've had someone travel from France in the past! You should have told us in advance and we could have reserved a prime seat right up at the front for you.

Very. I'm an inhouse recruiter myself however I used to work on the dark side as an agency recruiter. Contract work (particularly for rubyists) is still surpassing perm work.

Hey Dan. Drop me an email (address in my profile). I'm looking for contract ruby folk at the moment and know quite a few others looking for contractors.

I'll let Dmitri give his own response but one thing I will mention is the fact that the cost of putting on the event each month is in excess of £2k and that's not taking into account Dmitri's time & efforts (or mine for that matter). Dm

Wrong? According to who? I speak for the UK market, of which I have significant experience sourcing, interviewing, hiring and placing developers of all shapes and sizes over a number of years. As far as the UK market is concerned, my claim

1. I did read the article. Twice actually because I know this is a contentious issue and I wanted to ensure I wasn't missing the point. 2. Your source for #7 is ridiculous. There is absolutely zero proof that female programmers are paid les

Sure. The general complaint is that tech is dominated by males. Conferences & meet-ups are sausage fests and the speaker line-up often all male. Female devs are considered a novelty and the term female dev is considered to be frustratin

Has anyone applied the reverse argument to nursing? I'm getting sick of the gender argument to be honest. Sure, women in tech are a minority. Sure we'd all like to see more of a gender balance. However I have yet to see someone actively ret

I agree with pretty much everything you're saying but at the same time, I found the perspective of the author fascinating. I'm Irish and I live and work in London in the UK. I've only spent a couple of months in San Francisco when I was muc
