   This, a thousand times this. Everyone is incompetent in some way, which is fine. In fact, I'll help someone out repeatedly if they are really interested in learning something but failing for some reason. Then there's another level where som

   It's cool, but it's got some usability issues for "playing along" unless you already know the chords, etc. The 1/2 time was also pretty choppy for me. Rocksmith [1], which can be described as Guitar Hero for real guitars and basses, does a

   Why would you compile Clojure to Scheme? If you know Clojure, wouldn't you be able to write Scheme without too much difficulty?

    I'll be just getting to SF on Saturday. Can anyone confirm that Caltrain would be a good option to go back and forth from SOMA?

    I appreciate the feedback. The content here isn't how I want to represent myself in the future, I'm going to try to keep writing, but switch to more technical topics where I can express myself in a different and hopefully more useful way.

    Is the angle of my hat the reason people are posting about brogramming? I'm going to change the photo as I don't desire to be associated with being a "brogrammer" (or how distracting it apparently is to people), but I'm not sure I understan

    I was waiting for this comment to show up. I agree completely and am choosing to spend my time on other projects.

    Author here. No offense taken. For the record "fucking" wasn't included for front page-ness, I felt it appropriately conveyed my feelings on the topic.

    Nowww you knowww But seriously. Interesting point about Icelander off-road driving style. It makes sense for terrain that could stick you while in four wheel drive, but it's never occurred to me to drive like that. Ex: Chicago snow storm

    Ignoring the hours argument. If incentives for the founder do not align with the incentives of other people involved in the company there is a completely different problem at hand.

    I've seen a nice proportion of people in tech startups, etc with sleeves or similar compared to other professions (Typically less people than a representative portion of lead singers, but more than a similar sample of teachers). It doesn't

    Keeping in mind I'm a younger, single person with no serious debt and I live fairly frugally; I haven't taken a contract in a couple months. I'm currently living off of the money from my last contract and working on a startup idea I formed

    Thanks for the tips, I've looked into the List monad, but I'm sure there are some useful ones I haven't looked into. Stacking IO Monads seems to be a useful topic. I'm also looking into Warp and Yesod for the req/res Monads.

    I appreciate the separation of reputable from pseudo. I did a search, but a disproportionate amount of the content was fluff and pseudo, and I don't really have the expertise to tell quickly between the closer cases.

    I actually had a conversation about emergent behavior with a friend the other night. He stated that he had started doing things he didn't necessarily agree with and wondered how these behaviors could have become habits. One potential explan

    This is cool. Does anyone know anywhere else that "in-development" videos can be found? It would be interesting to see how other developers function in their environments.
