According to the article, it appears to be war.

No, because its not just about you. How can I as a developer know if a function I'm calling in C uses more than its inputs? That's the real issue.

To me, that's not a problem. I truly believe you should be the signal, not the noise, so if you're not adding value, what are you doing? Obviously you can take it too far, but I really don't think this happens all that often, compared to

You can't force them to play those games; they want to play the games their friends are playing... basically guitar hero

Not many, I'm sure, as it's EXTREMELY hard to maintain polyphasic sleep if your life is anything close to what people call "normal." You can barely go to a movie theater. That said, driving does seem a little reckless, at least until you'

Even at movie theaters? I've seen movies in many states, and never ran into one that charged tax on top of the ticket/concession price.

While I agree with most of your comment, there is something to be said for preparation. Do you think it's unwise of me to wait until after I pay off my student loans (a year, perhaps) to quit my job and start my own business? Keep in mind t

Hmmm... while that may be, many people are taking his books as nonfiction. Perhaps he should consider that, and be more careful, lest he spread potentially damaging information to the masses

That's one big problem I see with performance based pay, even if an accurate personal metric were available. Time spent helping/mentoring others would have a negative impact on a senior programmers bottom line, even though a company genera

50x? Really? That means they achieve in a week what the 1x programmers achieve in a year. I'd say its more likely they are infinitely more productive (as in produce things the 1x programmers could never produce), but those kinds of projec

Really? GGG as best film of a lifetime? The acting is spectacular, but I don't really feel like there is much of a story. Just a showcase for good acting. Felt like broadway on film.

Not visiting the site anymore doesn't send the message either. Why would they assume it was obnoxious ads, rather than decreased interest in their content, competition, etc? The only way they'll know is to actually tell them.

You don't piss during commercials then, I take it?

My friend, you've stumbled on "The Secret!" ;)

Probably taken care of by filing at least one bug. Then the consulting line is easier to accept, as long as that bug was fixed. That said: I'm neither a lawyer nor an accountant, so take that with a large dosage of salt

Right, but what is the lesson here? Do whatever it takes to succeed? I'm not picking on you, just wondering what to take from that fact.

I'm almost positive he was not. While not completely in agreement with him, I can definitely sympathize with him.

Your real neighbors are all on the internet, too busy to talk to you anyway.

I like it. Not sure if I'll use it regularly, but it's cool.

My experience with this is that most companies today just stop communicating with you, and don't even have the courtesy to tell you that you were rejected.

While I agree, I can't for the life of me figure out where you stand in this whole debate. What you said seems to suggest that you don't think geeks need to change, because those who truly want to work in CS will anyway... but you seemed to

Honestly, I think they are just better at pretending to be interested and letting you speak. People tend to think a conversation was great if the other person gives them positive feedback. My girlfriend is a hairdresser and she does this qu

You've clearly never been to the philosophy building. If they're lucky, it's in the unfinished attic of the English building.

Also, an interesting question: Are you citing the fact that nearly ever big company has done it to basically give it an ethical pass? i.e. It's the cost of doing business?

If you think Google has really banned "all those ads," you're not looking close enough. They've made some effort, but plenty gets through.

I have a feeling that graceful disagreement isn't working so well in politics lately. Shouting "Liar!" at the President is just one of many examples.
