I know a few directors making $250k base with big bonuses on top. Most of the senior devs I know make around $180k. $180k a year can not buy you a home in Santa Monica. Mortgage would be > half your take home even in a condo and the al

I generally see it as getting way better and the improvements over 3 years back are unreal. Figwheel with ClojureScript and Cider for plain ole'clojure make it pretty awesome developer experience. I just built a small project and fin

Cool, since you opened <preferred text editor> and you have a dev environment. Write compiler/parser in BNF for the editing commands your editor supports. Assume non-standard encodings are possible for the key presses. Here ar

So think about this another way... What gives you more self-worth, learning a new programming language and completing a project in it, or sitting on the couch and watching TV? I personally believe the ancients understood this, from the usua

$4k is basically half your take home if you factor in a modest 401k contribution.

I can't get it to search outside the standard node files using the above config. I can't get it to be aware of my code in the project.

I even more urge people taking this advice to read and go slow. It's super easy to hurt yourself if you end up with bad technique or go up in weight too fast--anything more than 5 lbs at a time is too fast. Read Starting Strength fo

Keep in mind that's just one side of the story. The guy could have been a complete asshole and that was the reason for rejection. It makes everyone that's interviewed at Google and didn't get it feel better, which is why it i

I bought the book in the prerelease form after reading most of it online because it was so great! I found it better structured than "Joy of Clojure". Definitely a work of love. An aside, I was a former Raleigh native, and was su

I asked on /r/vim about "Who uses folds?" Didn't get any takers. I always forget they exist and haven't used them in my workflow yet. Tag files would be another good one.

Not only is the tech achievement amazing, and something that will save countless man hours it's incredibly written to boot. Amazing work.

I know this is the logic the Twitter police use to chase people from jobs, but its certainly not true. Mill argued free speech should be protected in all cases for two great reasons. The first being that one never really knows if somethin

The horseshit is awful on the trail up Half Dome. It may not smell that bad to someone who loves horses, but I assure you it smells to someone who doesn't.

I guess you don't feel bad when someone gets killed jaywalking either? For next time, the default when someone dies is sadness--FYI. It's something in humanity that makes it so.

I prefer "freedom to roam" like in most of the scandinavian countries, where I can BASE jump and not fear being tased after landing.

What if the person never had an outlet for self-esteem and found it skydiving? I know many people in that boat--myself included. You may think it's a hedonistic copout, but a bunch of people living in vans built a skydiving disciplin
