I am not even sure now that this will work in good economic times, since there is saturation in contract-based assignments, with agencies hiring programmers on very low rate in developing countries. All I can take away from this is that, on

You could be very right here, since most of the people I come across working on contracts are already in the market for at least 10 years. In today's market, for someone new starting out, I guess there will be cut-throat competition to

Yeah, as obvious as it is, one always tends to forget what are the ultimate goals one is working for? As long as there is motivation, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

I am going to start working soon. This makes me think if full-time work is really worth it. Wouldn't multiple short-term contracts with regular breaks be able to cut it in today's world? Isn't there people with experience on

While, I am sure governments at some level try to reduce poverty, but they can't do it without educating the people. Internet is rather cheap and provides a great way for the same. "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; te

Actually, HP had been doing that since quite some time. In 2008, they announced that they have discovered the memristor and would bring it in the market by 2012, which then shifted to 2014, then 2015, and now they are still not sure whether

I agree, with the type of growth Swift has shown in the past, there is going to be a big demand for Swift developers now. Swift could possibly rule the mobile/web. I have already added it on my #TODO list :)

While Graph Engine definitely looks useful, I agree that the comparison is unfair. GE is an optimized implementation while associative containers (unordered_*) in C++ are more generalized implementations. The above blog provided clearly ex

You are only considering the cost of infrastructure. What about the basic salary for the people working on the application and monitoring infrastructure, who will pay for that, if not users and not ads and not government?

Either users will pay with their money or pay with their data (getting ads), else the model is not sustainable. Since, messaging using Internet is being considered here as basic necessity, one could argue that Messaging apps turns to be non
