>work only 40 hours a week at this mythical 100k / year job? Mythical? I'm one of two engineers at my startup and I get $120k, bennies, and equity. Edit: And I'm 23 years old and have been a professional for ~4-5 years.

It's not an operating system, it's a distribution of software other people wrote that comprises an operating system. It's not even an original distribution of Linux at that, it's just downstream Debian plus some crappy GUI apps. --- Ubuntu

His attitude got him where he is now. No one's suggesting that you shouldn't think about monetization, he hasn't even launched his product yet. Now what would be stupid is doing like some founders and giving away the product gratis for a ye

This is a good example of what I really think we need: Testing, static analysis, and help from the type system.

Most? No. Some, a few? Yes. Also, stop trolling ##C with your Haskell stuff, nobody cares.

>most classes of bugs are caught at compile time This is false, can we stop pretending that hindley-milner solved the Halting Problem?

The word you want is corroboration unless you mean for a third-party to help Falun Gong in their fight against the PRC. To corroborate: to make more certain; confirm. Example: He corroborated my account of the accident.

DC is still not a horrible market. What are your specialties? Would you consider living elsewhere to save your career?

But I already know how to use Emacs and have been using it for years. I can navigate around vim but there's little advantage to me for using it when I can do almost any fathomable task in Emacs up to and including use viper-mode (vim emulat

Pop philosophy doesn't stand up to that kind of logical scrutiny. It's usually bike shed painting rationalized by ego or emotion. I love the near-perfect unintentional parody of the Jewish tale of three old men arguing over who was most unw
