I think his point was that there's some unwritten upper bound, like say, 16 weeks. Would be easier to just tell me what the upper bound is, so I can take that, rather than under utilize my vacation days or offend the unwritten rule.

Jader - don't want to spam this discussion, but many of our students at railstutors.com have the exact background as you. If you have 10-15hrs/week for a month, we can get you to a proficient level with Rails.

Matt's a fairly prominent member of the Ruby community. I've seen him at conferences with his little boy, and chatted with him myself. This doesn't mean that presentation wasn't sexist (I was there, I was horrified), but he's not a sexist m

Anything-centrism is "bad" in that it clouds one's ability to be objective. It also impedes empathy. It's sort of tied to identity. If you do not cling to a specific identity, then it frees you to empathize with a wide range of people. If y

Readjust what "failure" means for you. If you've improved, it's not a total failure. Pursue what you love, and steadily improve upon it. It's common for people to always adjust their goals upwards when a milestone has been met. But it's als

I wholeheartedly agree, having also tried both ways. However, too many businesses "spike and move on", and the "stabilize" never happens. This is why people advocate for TDD.

A good manager would have recognized your reaction against threat and have taken a different approach with you. Truth is, without knowing Steve or Ben and Steve's relationship with each other, it's hard to extract too much out of this line.

This breaks the golden rule of relationships: don't kiss and tell. Interviewing is the first step in forming a relationship, and it looks like Airbnb dodged a huge bullet by not engaging further.

When Zappos first came out I thought they'd tank. I purchase new basketball/running shoes every 6months, and never ever make a new purchase without trying it on. Playing basketball or running with an even slightly uncomfortable shoe can lea

When you're in SF/Bay Area and trying to compete with the likes of LinkedIn, Yammer, etc, you're constantly bumping into that top 5%.

Yes, most everyone I know delineates between the services this way. Twitter - public. Facebook - friends. Linkedin - managing recruiters.

I used to do this until I started missing important calls/texts because I forgot to turn it back on. An airplane/sleep mode with a timer would be nice.

Yes, native Chinese speaker, though English is my best language. I think you can guess based on context as well. Not precise as you'd like, but not a blank slate either.
