I think you have defined autonomy in a very specific way. That is not everyone's goal (what they want control over, or to feel like they are accomplishing). I think the OP wanted control over building/shipping/creating produc

It's not Apple who would take down the All Writs Act, it would be a citizen who had evidence against them obtained via the All Writs Act. They would have to discover that is how the evidence against them was uncovered, argue in court t

It's not just the investment. In a 4 hour take-home I learn close to nothing about the company I am applying for. In a 4 hour on-site I see the workspace, talk to employees, etc.

I think "gives me chills" is pretty synonymous with "goosebumps" if that helps at all. I think creepy/makes-me-shudder for the negative usage and breathtaking/awe-inspiring for the positive usage.

My company does some volunteering with a local elementary school using Hour of Code[1]. I worked with kids from grade 2-5 and they used iPads to complete the web-based "puzzles". The projects teach programming basics by dragging-a

This is like saying the more developers you put on a project, the more entrenched you become...so developers are not a panacea. If you need to write quality code, you will need to invest in writing tests. If you wrote the wrong code, yes, y

Can you expand on "I feel that I owe nearly all of my academic & career success to that"? I feel even my college courses have only a modest impact on my career, much less elementary school or pre-kindergarten.

It's not just the kindness of whichever inspector comes to your door. I imagine a majority of it is the company- it's goals, culture, etc. There are insurance companies that will try to deny you a claim that obviously should be

They have a 1.5 year-old that undoubtably puts everything in his/her mouth. Even the CDC factsheet says the impact of low levels of exposure is unknown. And we're not talking about the milligrams in a CFL bulb, a speck of mercury.
