That would have made this utterly brilliant and changed the entire meaning of the clip. Or maybe it was subtly implied.

Not all meetings are bad though and you cannot put a counter on meetings that foster future growth or stability. Spending 30mins extra in a meeting could resolve a major issue, helping the company beat competition - something that you canno

I understand that industry collusion in necessity goods (food/gas/medicine) is bad for the consumer but why can't book publishers and wholesalers act together to raise the price of books 100x if they so wish? Let the market decide if that i

Yes they can be ( http://www.murderousmaths.co.uk/games/primcal.htm , http://primes.utm.edu/notes/faq/six.html ) but the unfortunate thing is that while the ((p^2)-1 % 24 == 0) test is a necessary requirement for primality testing, it is

The best part of short array syntax is that now you don't need named parameters to be supported by the language. function foo($opts) { echo $opts['source'] . $opts['destination']; } // just one extra pair of [] need

I clicked reply so I could tell you why I disagreed with what you wrote. I take pride in my work but have not been too concerned with the clock. Your implication that this just means I don't care about the outcome felt like a slap in the fa

I noticed this too about myself when I negotiated with different contractors for work on my new house. At first it bothered me that I spent 5x as much time & effort finding a good cleaning company ($400 budget) than tile installer ($8k

I've had the exact same experience with respect to my iOS app: https://zetabee.com/tip-of-my-tongue/ No matter what price ($0.99 - $9.99) I set, I make the same gross revenue. Reviews tend to be nicer when people buy it for $2.99 - $4.99.

Almost 3 years ago I shared a small web-app on HN http://hackerne.ws/item?id=715265 and got a lot of positive feedback. While I couldn't do anything right away (especially due to my cousin's health), I knew what my long-term mission was.

Mine are mostly in the GOOD category but it's really for me, not the client. Like your clients, my clients trust me. But the benefit of listing the details is I can later go and analyze how much time I spent/wasted on which feature 6 months

A wonderful example of this is people who type URLs into Google Search or search queries into address bar (before most browsers had Omnibar-like features). To all of us here, it clearly makes sense that the browser is a local software that

You can demand a functional API but you cannot demand a reliable service. That is what they've been unable to provide in the first place.

I agree. This is a very simplified version of an immensely complex issue. In short what I was trying to ascertain was - is there a linear relationship between productivity and compensation or is it close to logarithmic?

Agreed with (1). I don't know if (2) is necessarily true. Experience, skills, talent, and ability to focus well could easily make this sustainable. In my experience, (3) happens when they were hired at 1x salary, proved themselves to be 3x

That's pretty much where I was going with, with this poll. There are developers who are 5-10x better than average but nobody would think of paying them 10x the average coder's salary while working on the same type of projects. Even if you c
