Attorneys on both sides must be excited on some level about the potential number of billable hours it'd take to litigate a case like this. Reminds me of a something an entrepreneurship professor told me... If there's one lawyer i

You are a smarty pants, and you know it. You're just not a billionaire with many, many, many subject matter experts in the field of rocketry working for you. No need to compare yourself to others :)

As I get older, I desire to be less random and more precise. I don't think I am smarter or dumber than I was 20 years ago. I used to "ship it" faster, but now I realize it's because I didn't really understand the

In most cases, being a poor speller isn't a big deal. That's what proofreading is for. It doesn't matter how you get to the correct spelling, as long as you do. You are human, and if you fight your nature instead of workin

+1 for vacations. I used to vacation only when I burned out. Now I plan in advance several months ahead. It helps me pace myself so I don't burn myself out before the vacation shows up. Personally I try to schedule two week vacatio

I am an engineer, and used to do sales. I never liked sales enough to get really good at it, partially because I wanted to spend more time figuring out how to automate by job than do my job. But I have some general observations based on m

I really like Elixir. Learning to write & test concurrent code has certainly been adventure! It's probably been a good warmup for testing microservices.

Another factor to consider is how unsaturated a market is (how much unmet opportunity is available). It's easier to break into a field, and get good at working in that field, if you're competing with anyone. Most (all?) fields h

Hangouts actually works at the moment, but work could change that at anytime, so making it a key piece of my workflow is unwise. I get your point though. Gotta love life behind the firewall!

No keyboard & mouse sharing. And to a lesser extent, not everyone wants a Google account. My employer also blocks some Google services. For example, I can't access Gmail. Trying to use Hangouts without Gmail is swimming upstream

When you compile Java from the command line, is the compiler smart enough to not recompile files that haven't changed? Or is that an IDE feature?
