The only red flag is that he has waited around when he lost creativity, and even that is not red - at least he had the courage to quit. It is a job of the employee to be creative (talking about design, of course). But it is the job of emplo

Two suggestions: 1) if you are concerned about privacy you should also turn off malware protection in FF because it sends pages that you visit to Google (yes, I know their privacy policy - do you trust them?). For additional points you can

Coming from the world of C / Java / PHP / Python and similar I found ObjectiveC maddening at times. But ARC really shines. Brilliant idea and well executed too: virtually no work on programming side (well, a few small caveats
