Lispers have a decidedly notorious reputation for wailing about the lack of respect their family of languages tends to get. I say this as someone who is incredibly fond of hacking in Clojure and has spent a fair amount of time with a couple

Deployment, accessibility. Consider adjusting your tone and the quality of your response, it just makes you sound partisan rather than informed.

I explored the example subjects you mention without ever having spent a measurable amount of time in post-secondary. School improves the median quality, and odds of exposure of the candidates. It's not necessary for that kind of exposure

I've been all over the place programming language wise. It's no longer meaningful for me to list them off other than to say what my current specialty is. (Web app dev) I grew up fairly poor, but my Dad built the computers using parts he beg

I'll include the interesting details since there's more to this subject than simply being present on HN and having a CompSci degree. Self-taught and proud. I can regale you of the set theoretic basis of SQL JOINs, or of n-base arithmetic al

Younger dev here, I'm with portman even though I've not been in a hiring leadership position. (I've been at best, a point-man for getting the icky stuff done.) Here's why: You make it harder for other people to do their best at work and lov

> I don't know of any framework that's truly nailed developer-designer interaction, though. Never 'appen, icky hoomans are involved. That's like saying engineers and management will stop fighting over budgets and specifications.

Sorry, I registered it. Once the process is finished it will join my nerd-flock and redirect to my professional site unless I decide to make something for it. :)

My day job is pretty much all Django, but I would like to point out that this overly popular trope about Django templates is unmerited and not unique/interesting. I would also like to point out that it's not a meaningful feature as template

Moving from .NET to open source improved the quality of code and people I worked with. A lot. >rewrite the stack in java A rewrite was a bad idea to begin with. They shot themselves twice in the same leg. GG guys.

Crashed when I tried it. The request is still hanging, a minute later. And I can't do anything to fix it, or deal with it. I don't want a hosted wiki service. I want a wiki that I host myself on my own machines and that I can fix at will. Y

http://bitemyapp.com:8000/ there's a test build of it, https://github.com/bitemyapp/thodol and there's the github. It's nowhere near done, and while history is being saved, I need to make a differential front-end to it. Let me know if y

(Sorry to potentially hijack) Incidentally, I just built a web-based wiki because I wanted one that was fast, wasn't hinged on git(hub), and could be modified easily to my tastes. I'd like to know if there's any interest in a stripped down

Only wikipedia has the critical mass necessary to maintain a human knowledge project, otherwise I'd offer to build such a thing.

my laptops and various other machines are on 24/7 anyway. Why should I buy more hardware and burn...cds? The idea of burning cds makes me think of my adolescence. Seems rather primitive, unnecessary and inconvenient. This is pretty much all

I do the same thing as tastybites, sans expensive car. I might buy rental properties later or something. I'd rather die sitting on a motorcycle than on a bunch of equity that won't help me in the grave. I'm not an Egyptian Pharaoh.

You're an outlier that is comfortable with the internet and open to connecting with a company at a personal level. Most people seek a professional, stable, and safe image in a company they're going to share their personal details with. Misp

I'm male and not all that traditional, but the name is very conspicuous. I can only imagine the name making it even harder than usual to attract women. The commentary about her personal life is...awkward. Neat as it is that she dated the

In my country, programmers work salary unless they're contractors and don't have any conception of overtime in their contracts. Maybe things are different where you are.

Relevance is besides the point, you're paid to work. Your job title isn't some kind of license to refuse work you don't want to do. You keep trying to frame this as being an issue of relevancy when really it's that you're simply not eager e

You're right, but I think he's allowed the indulgence considering the kind of "peers" he had to deal with usually. Besides that, the man just isn't given enough credit these days.
