I'm a web developer in London, who's moderately involved in hiring. Most advice you'll get is subjective, but here's my two pence. A 2 page CV is the norm, though you won't get dinged for a page either way - especia

I've been using Phabricator a lot recently, and it's ace. We started using it because we wanted to start doing code review, and the task tracking came along 'for free'. It's nice & lightweight (in terms of UI),

I don't know for sure, but I expect it's a standard thing from any spidering. Let's say you start at one page and find 10 links; your tracker will then have 10 items. If each of those pages has 10 links, then you can then have up to 100 ite

I've encountered this clause in a few employment contracts. It seems to be becoming standard language, but you don't have to agree to it. A contract's a starting point for negotiation, not something set in stone. If you don't want your side

I once interviewed for a lead webdev role at a small startup. They had 10-12 people, and a product that was doing OK. (I was thoroughly unconvinced by it, but that's another story). One of the things they talked about was their upcoming pla

I think you want two services here; Instapaper for the offline reading part, Pinboard for the archive part. I use Instapaper for the 'read later/offline' stuff, as a) it works on the web, iPad, iPhone, & Kindle and b) it's great at sync

Sure. My point is it's not a question of Mobi vs. PDF vs. ePub, and probably not Kindle vs. PC vs. tablet. Some of the suck is due to sloppy publishers, but a lot of it is down to the screen size. Getting code onto a 7" monochrome screen so

I don't think any end users will want them, and I don't think they're going to convert very well. But I don't think it would feel obtrusive if properly separated (eg. as an email footer or header). This should be easy to test: create a new

I'm a Linux user. I have a laptop that's my main machine and a fileserver for storage. I try not to keep anything on the laptop, but have my programming projects & config files on it (so I can work if I'm away from home). The fileserver
