I'm three months into a product management gig. Interesting so far, learning many good skills. I'd recommend it, especially if your buddy can find a way to take the 3-day training course by Pragmatic Marketing (try to have Steve Johnson as

Yep, when I worked out in Reston (also in Northern Virginia area, for those on the other coast) there was a building like that right next to ours. If you pulled into their driveway by accident, you could expect to have machine guns pointed

Hey T, yes, you should be fine for this Sunday. They card when you order, not at the door.

I would package this as a "desktop app" that is really just a thin shell around WebKit or System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser. Grandpa thinks it's a desktop app and has a single icon to click on, but from a development and maintenance perspecti

45 circuit boards? Maybe what the car industry needs is not a Steve Jobs, but rather a Steve Wozniak. Woz figured out how to drastically minimize the number of hardware components on the Apple II. He could cut those 45 circuit boards down t
