My general experience with the Future of X conferences (I've been to FOWA, and had coworkers go to FOWD) is: they're very well produced, but are more about the present than the future. In other words, I've been underwhelmed by the amount I'

Wait, so this guy is recommending against storing predictable user IDs in cookies, and against pre-filling password fields such that the values can be read in the source for a page? Brilliant! /facepalm

As a consulting firm (Viget Labs, http://www.viget.com/careers ), we have a slightly different relationship with the economy (some companies are more likely to come to us, some are less so). As a result, it hasn't really affected our hirin

Signup (to be a judge) requires OpenID—there are some really good apps in this batch (and hey, I wrote one, too: http://foreverhome.r08.railsrumble.com/ </shameless_plug>)

Does the opinion on this change when you're cheating "the boss" vs. when you're cheating a client? Using billed time without permission seems different to me...

You can listen to them on the page by clicking the play arrow in the embedded widget. Rubyology's also on Odeo, though, which gives you a few more options. Go to an episode page there (like http://odeo.com/episodes/23382315-Rubyology-71-Av

I'm much more interested in the web platform here (versionista) than I am the particular content being tracked - this looks like a great tool with a ton of uses.
