   People tend to extract and reference what stuck with them most about a particular work unless they're a scholar in the material. The accusations of anti-semitism against Nietzsche are rampant and my attempts to play whack-a-mole with them r

   I tripled my income in my last upgrade. Don't cap yourself. Definitely aim for getting at least 15-20% upward motion in the next move though.

   I bet the beefier processor and RAM are just to make android run better. I have a T-Mobile G2, a rather recent and beefy phone and I mostly don't like using it. My iPad and older iPod Touch are much more pleasant to use.

    >alnayyir is kinda like an anomaly Only amongst a sampling of sycophants. You wouldn't believe how much this victory blog bullshit does to discredit this community amongst lay hackers that aren't heavily involved in startups.

    Truth and decency > etiquette. I'll stick with these summaries as they're far less time consuming and often more to the point. Good luck with your 'victory'.

    I think family or a startup would be the most likely factors to keep me out of retirement. In reality, retirement would just mean being much choosier about my projects and spending more time on open source. I grok ya.

    It was unnecessarily intense and left me a very precocious child who was always lonely. I would never subject my (potential) children to my childhood. It gave me a boost in my career and programming, but that's nothing that can't be overcom

    Thanks, but dropping out of school and going into poverty in extremis before getting my career together wasn't my first plan. Many many months of ramen and green tea. Many...many months.

    Not really idealism. When you get an engineer's salary and sock away ~60-70% of it, your options are pretty rosy. The entrepreneurial bug and divorce are the only things I foresee really jeopardizing that. That or being seriously fertile. H

    I've been programming since 8 or 11, depending on how strictly you measure it. (GW-Basic, then C) I've not really found work to spoil programming any more than any other bad job would. >Just remember to live a little ;) Just got back fr
