Just 3 things that come to mind, I don't know if that is what you are looking for. It is coming from more of a C# and Java angle, than a Ruby and Python angle. * People like Robert "Uncle Bob" Martin popularising and extending the ideas of

Personally I am keen to get the hell out of Germany with its 50% tax PLUS 13% compulsory health insurance. Social safety net is one thing, but it is ridiculous here, even rich families get government money for having kids. Foreigners get un

Two questions. What counts as an advanced degree? And why is starting companies considered important separably from say working in one? Starting a company and moving to another country are both fairly large life disruptions, and doing both

Good. It is a small gesture, but considering the recent decision regarding government support for illegal new settlements you have to do what you can. I suspect many people here might otherwise not have realized what is going on, and this d

Heh I was in '96-'97 a lab supervisor at uni, helping people with Microsoft Word and other applications. I remember at one of our meetings someone, not even a computer science student, suggested making everyone use LaTeX as a solution to al

Heh that is like people arguing that people should not drink petrol, and then you trying to counter that by saying how good petrol is for cars. Systemd sounds great, more distros should use it or something like it. But why would something l

As an English speaker in Germany I was particularly interested in using things like iTunes (which is available here) to access TV. What do you know, it is exclusively German language content. And it is also only released when it airs in Ger

Oh. I thought it meant something like Germany is a great place to get venture capital but not such a great place to start a startup.

The message I get from his article, is not that "scaling to amazon levels is easy", but "scaling amazon size ideas down to a size where they are easier is possible". Isn't that part of the startup culture? That simple scaled down approaches

Practice, learn from others. Don't spend more time reading than coding, but a couple of books with good tips include "The Pragmatic Programmer" and "Apprenticeship Patterns" Also going to dojos and doing katas.
