We just switched to this kind of unlimited PTO policy here at VMware. It remains to be seen how it works out but I'm optimistic.

I hope it's a good talk as well however I have heard from a couple people I know well that minted is kind of a meat grinder in terms of turnover and not a very fun place to work and also not awesome from the designer side either. I understa

If "try and get as much return as you can" is the only input to the decision we are likely not investing but speculating and there is a difference. So if we are speculating here then I think I'd take those three envelopes to Vegas and split

They usually move pretty slowly. Like a few months... I'd keep applying elsewhere.

I'm pretty sure my employer does not just do "glorified web development" though I'd suggest you lose the attitude when you get here. The glorified web programmers have us surrounded and there are plenty of good ones ;-) http://jobs.vmware.

50k to invest or speculate with? If you lost all 50k tomorrow would that be ok with you? How would it make you feel if you lost 25pct? When do you think you will need the proceeds from your 50k if there are any?

I have to say I very much prefer [myArray count] to myArray.count since I think of it as a method instead of a property though I agree using dot syntax for synthesized class properties is preferable.

Not anymore but I had clients up there several years ago and worked out near west marine on gate 5 road for about 8 months about a year ago. There is a little coffee shop called "Taste of Rome" on the way into town that I used to like to ha

I'm a programmer today because of my mother (Who volunteered in my Elementary school's computer lab) and because of the articles I read by Dave Winer, Joel Spolsky and Philip Greenspun in the late 90s and early 2000. If you have not poked a

Two weeks is plenty of time for a novice iOS developer with a bit of programming experience to publish tic-tac-toe. I think struggling to learn the existing well used tools would be the best use of his two weeks. Try something outside the n

Just go with Cocos2d. There is certainly not a dearth of Tic-Tac-Toe games in the app store however when I was first learning iOS development I built one of these for a client and it did not take much longer than the two weeks you describe.

That's a good idea. SLOC might be a nice objective way to do it - it would certainly let you get some idea of complexity at a glance from the list.

It's a fine little control but for a project of any size at all I feel like you are going to get much more bang for your buck time wise by simply building up your own nice UI lib for easy skinning etc vs managing n+1 external dependencies l

cdw.com If you just want some switches and don't need something really high-end (read Cisco/Juniper) then dell has some options and they are much cheaper than the brand name stuff.

It's pretty much unwatchable... I'd rather watch interior designers or socialites being horrible people.

Pretty expensive way to go especially because of the tax hit. As a rule you should be dumping as much money into a retirement account as you can once you have some cushion in the bank... Instant ~30pct return on investment for the classic I

What kind of article is this? Pretty much everything that's wrong with the art scene in a trite little article.

This really does not make the code more readable especially the last method show that's even less explicit.

This is a deal for the right publisher. It would cost much more to get built from scratch.

If you can pay 4-5 bucks for a coffee you can afford to throw in another dollar every time. Likewise if in the US it's 20pct if the service is even boarding on reasonable. If that's too steep I suggest learning to cook. - a former busboy

A better question is do you enjoy building websites/webapps? Try to answer this question first. To do that you should pick one of the frameworks, find a few tutorials, and try and build something. If it turnes out you hate the process of te

Why not? You might meet some interesting people and maybe even see what it takes to ship/demo something really quickly. (Not that this kind of cadence is really healthy for you or the software product long term..)

A bit of an editorialization on the title there son... Something I wish I learned earlier on is how to delay gratification. That would have been a nice skill to have when I was poor.
