I've seen Matasano on here several times and I have to say, I really wish you'd reconsider your Remote working policy. It seems like such an interesting place to work, but for me personally, moving just isn't an option. Your

Yes, here is a video explaining some of it. http://vimeo.com/85490944 Never worked at Spotify but they seem very innovative (and they already let me rock out for eight hours everyday), so hey, nothing to bad say on my end.

Ask for a leave of absence or to arrange a flexible work schedule while you pursue the degree. All they can say is no. Go for the degree. If you ended up with a Senior role then you have lots of experience already, I assume. You'll ALW

The types of people who use Amazon, are going to be different then the types of people who use Craigslist. You said it yourself, Craigslist is the internet classifieds. Young people don't use the classified sections, it's predomin

So? I like Netflix's front-end. So does my daughter, my mother, my mother's mother, my dad (who is terrible with tech), and almost everyone else I know. Craigslist is much the same, what they have is easy to recognize, very easy

I want my daughter to do whatever she wants. (Although even I was relieved when 'Bathroom Designer' fell off the table). She has told me in no short order that she wants to be A) a kid doctor, a doctor for kids. B) a rock star C)

Not to hijack the thread but here's a fun story, the place I'm working at now actually considered 'version control', to be making a copy of the file before you started making changes. There was no version control. This i

For anyone thinking about ordering their first supply to try, forewarning they are backlogged. I ordered mid-July and was told it would be 6 - 10 weeks. I just received an email last week telling me it will be another 6 - 10 weeks.

Keep it on the down-low. It's awesome you can build something like that but you need to be mindful of office politics and people will judge you my friend. Sad but true. I mean we all want the ego validation of check out what I built, b

Clean house hard the first day. Then maybe go on a day trip or a vacation. Just enjoy having time off.

Dedication and focused practice. I'm going to leave this here, several of the same principles can transfer. Purpose, living with intention and not living life running on auto-pilot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggYF7J

Honestly even if you're only about 10-20% in some of those categories you mentioned, and maybe 20-30% on your basic programming skills (data-types, algo's, design patterns) you're probably at the right level to start looking

I don't hire anyone, just to get that out of the way. :) I don't want to go into to much detail but a .net financial management client and web application. Nothing fancy by any means. Let's also just say I don't have ver

It's not just popularity. I wouldn't trust anyone on my team (of 4) to 'get' a Functional Language. Maybe one out of four (Not counting myself in this scenario), and almost no-one that they would hire later on. That lead

Eh shy guy probably really could have used that advice. I see what you're getting at though. :) I also hate being told what to do and consider it rude. I hate people's 'input'. I've learned to counteract this by tak
