Well imagine having the mind of a typical prosecutor. I bet the thinking is something like "f * it, I'm not going to live forever, who can I prosecute next".

Don't try to fight it. The way to be successful is just do at least 1 thing for your project each day, no matter how small. Just take one action at a minimum. Use all your willpower for that. I am still incredibly addicted to the inter

I modified my original comment, so I guess I'll rewrite it. And I totally agree.

I think some people need proper perspective on life. We are all actors playing out silly games of ambition. Achievement is really no different than a life of non-achievement, although your human instincts tell you otherwise. Also there is n

Having worked for businesses that use code reviews and those that don't, I personally favor not having code reviews. The reason is that they hinder development speed quite a lot, since you have to try to predict what other engineers wi

Build any project from scratch to completion. Then you will actually have a pretty solid resume.

Someone has to talk to the investors though, right?

Interesting. How soon could you tell an app was going to take off and have a lot of organic growth? Would you give up on an app if it didn't have enough growth soon enough? Also how much was based on having the right search keywords? S

Did your apps have viral, organic growth or was it mostly from your own marketing efforts?

I think the only way to be close to an expert is to have total control over the web development process from start to finish, and re-use the same technologies that you have experience with. For example, if you've made 100 web apps in P

People need to stop worrying so much about what their boss thinks of them. If you get fired, it's probably a sign you shouldn't be working there in the first place. If you don't get a promotion or raise, who cares? Your life

Yea, but you only live once, and the most interesting thing you can do is build technology. Making things will always be more important to me than relationships.

I think the best you can possibly do is 2x your current compensation as an engineer given ideal circumstances. The older engineers who make a ton are probably really good at job hopping and/or negotiating, in addition to working hard c

Not to mention that given enough time, everyone's eulogy or resume will become meaningless. For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. A

I feel like this is more of a problem for people in their early 20s, when everything job-related feels like a bigger deal than it really is.

Should you also donate money to save hypothetical aliens in a far away galaxy, if we find out they exist? What about a fund to help people relocate from flooded cities from global warming 200 years in the future? What about donating to keep
