Programmers change jobs very frequently. They come and go. So why are we so obsessed with "getting it right", as if hiring a programmer were like signing a 30 year mortgage? Hiring is a crapshoot. You'll make bad hires. That&

But did you get any of those jobs? I wouldn't call being invited to the next round successful if you don't get the job. In fact it's a loss, more lost time for the candidate.

A minimum $3000 to join the investment club, after $50,000 per year in tuition. But it's a meritocracy, right?

The main problem that "older" workers have is just getting in the door. Once they get in the door, they can often prove themselves, but they just aren't given the same chances as younger workers.

The cognitive dissonance of the tech industry is that many companies do in fact value their longtime employees, but they won't hire any new employees of the same age. You can be old in tech, as long as you were hired when you were youn

The idea of a "language game" was merely an analogy. It wasn't meant to trivialize the subject. The point is that language is an activity that operates according to conventional rules. (This also relates to his argument again

It's not surprising, because Wittgenstein himself was in a sense dismissive of academic philosophy. He turned against his former self, of the Tractatus, which was highly regarded among so-called "analytic" philosophers. The c

I still have the machine. The only reason I had to stop using it is that it can't run anything later than Lion.

Interesting argument. If people didn't bother buying a spare even when battery life was shorter, maybe longer battery life doesn't really matter all that much. ;-) Incidentally, I had a spare that I brought along when traveling. W

I would go back to my 2006 17-inch MacBook Pro form factor in a second. Best laptop I've ever owned. Well designed. There used to be a distinction between Pro and non-Pro. If you valued light and small over power, then you'd buy t

The Twitter account takeover was an inside job. To be fair, the article is just part of a challenge to write 100 blog posts in 100 days. Nothing wrong with writing whatever you want, although the title of the post is still terrible. The que

It's a badly written article and headline. The US was ranked worst among the G7, a very specific group of countries.

Nothing to see here. This isn't an announcement, it's a pre-announcement. Empty PR, "We actually love developers (despite our sordid history), yadda yadda". Almost all of the details are TBD.

Yes, interview stress is completely different. You have to commit a pretty egregious offense on the job to get fired on the spot, but literally anything you do during a job interview can cause you to lose the job.
