   I'm still a student at Penn State and I used to work at that paper. The demanded skillset has increased while the stipend has cratered to zero. ps: I'm aware of your accomplishments. You make the Penn State startup community proud! Best of

   If the post confuses you, I'll try and clear a few things up. This paper is still giving stipends to editors and senior reporters. They can't take even a small cut in their stipends to provide a modest stipend for someone whose skills are e

   Using the word "is" is troublesome. It spares the writer of any need to explain his/her authority in making such a statement. eg "This article is not useful."

   Pure gimmick. Universities shouldn't build for proprietary systems. What's wrong with building for a browser with web standards?

   There needs to be more content geared to people who know nothing about programming. Those people have the highest hurdles to jump, as they don't even know what they don't know.

    FlightCaster (and SeatGeek) are a new breed of startup that uses statistical modeling to empower consumers in an industry that they usually have little to no say in.

    Oh and BTW, I've been on Rails for about a year and it's been excellent. Support from the Ruby community (blogs, presence on Stack Overflow) has been excellent, and so many of the gems/plugins have been so good. Not to mention, Ruby is a

    If you're not tech-minded, and the developer that you already have wants to use X, you should go with X. This increases the likelihood you have to spend big $$$ changing systems away from a GPL system so you can make even more $$$ from an a

    If SO really becomes the Go To place for background checking a job applicant's skill, people's posts on it will just become more self-serving. Instead of posting to genuinely find something out, you post a question for the sake of trying to

    The iPad is not for some web browsing. Most of it should work fine and with time developers will utilize new APIs for this new(ish) browsing style. Not a huge deal.

    Those paragraphs about being out of the country and acing an exam with just an hour of prep is Tucker Max-esque sensationalism. It probably says a lot more about the author's college than his amazing methodology.

    The blog post would have been a lot more compelling if it was from someone not out to make money selling his "concepts". I'd be much more interested to read about learning habits from someone with a "real job". For example, how person who a

    If you want to be that technical, writing this comment is "coding". I'm encoding into English sentences, and you, the reader, decodes into thoughts. Designing in photoshop is also coding. The designer encodes the "look" of a web site into a
