It certainly is the Bay Area in California, specifically the North Bay. There do seem to be more jobs south of the Golden Gate, but that is too far for me to commute and I have not built up enough of a financial cushion to survive long if I

I grew up hearing stories from the '70s that any intelligent teenager could get a job in computer programming. No experience was necessary. No one was expected to have any experience. They would train you. When I entered college, the genera

Reactions: 1. It's worse than it sounds because home prices include land. If the article is true, it often costs more to build a home than that home plus the land is worth. 2. House prices are still inflated. Adjusted for inflation, house

You need a degree + X years of experience to get in the door unless you can corrupt somebody in management. I'm sure a portfolio is valuable as well. What you have created is an important part of your background, just as where you went to s

Does anybody really look down on employees who leave work at the time that they agreed to leave work when they took the job? I can't imagine this being a problem, although I can see the desire for employees who value the work more than they

C# will make it easier to support in the future since more developers will know that language, but a port between languages will take the longest amount of time. If ASP.NET is close enough to ASP, using it could cut your development time by

Sleep. When I took the bus to college, that was all I had the energy to do. I would also try to read or do homework, but I could never get much done on the bus. The public transit in my area is awful. The ride to school was an hour and a ha

I wonder how often something similar to this scenario has happened when new Linux users have to wait a long time for their system to finish fscking on every 30 reboots, and asking how to skip it or keep it from happening gets responses alon

My CS degree may have negatively impacted my career. The pressure of working while going to school was one of the things that caused me to quit my job at the time. It took me a year and a half after graduation to find another job and I'm cu

We've taken kids from the "poor" gene pools to London and they do fine. It's anecdotal but it fairly well quashes the race argument which holds that this should be impossible, and it suggests we look at society and upbringing instead.

The founders also passed the Sedition Act of 1798 so YMMV, and the constitution itself has that provision about giving aid and comfort to the enemy but a public service like Twitter ought to be able to claim common carrier immunity from bei

So according to this post, companies are only going to hire the top 0.5% of programmers to their entry-level positions. Something is seriously wrong with this employment model if 99.5% of the labour pool can expect to never find work.

The problem is not just debt, it is the lack of jobs to make money to pay off that debt. In the 1950s and earlier, a college degree of any kind would guarantee you a white-collar job. People with advanced educations, particularly in the sof

What do you mean by "you choose the names" with regard to PHP's inconsistent naming conventions? I think most of the upset is due to the standard array functions which can be either array_action($array, $arg) or array_action($arg, $array).

Discrete math. From calculus, you will want to learn summations (the big sigma; it's basically a for loop).

Keep looking for better work. Try finding a place that does not take so long to reach. Having more time in the day will give you time to relax and possibly complete one of those 9000 projects you haven't finished yet.

I can't give any advice other than the obvious, keep your skills sharp and never stop looking for work. If your parents can't help you financially, ask them to help you look for work and let you know if they hear of anything. Breaking into

Most probably start with a mockup in Photoshop/Gimp or Illustrator/Inkscape and then design the code to make a site look like their mockup. The first step is to be an artist and have an idea of what you want to see.

Flickr respects the wishes of its users. So? If they had gone the other way, the headline could be "Flickr allows stealing of artist work".

Sure. You just need to have something that you want to create, and the time to devote a few hours here and there to making it. If you want to change to a career of programming, pick up one of the currently popular languages like Java or C#
