I often miss the Chicago food scene as I lived there for about 2 years. That town really takes it to the next level in so many different ways. FULL DISCLOSURE: It's also where I discovered my heroin habit.

I guess it would have been nice if they at least hinted at what these new directions may be? As it was, it came off identically to a Fortune 500 press release about the CEO moving on.

This totally captures the essence of the "debate" (not that there seems to be any), and the writing of the article in particular.

Not sure why that would be the case, given that the USA, at least, was founded by a bunch of enlightenment fans, the products of a time when the christian church's credibility was foundering. Nope...simply wrong. All (not some) of th

What they have in common is that they don't listen to your advise and refuse to learn new things. I was on a job interview a few days ago and was asked "What do you dislike the most about working with others on a team" and

Why? Because the reality is that this country, the US, was totally and completely founded on the Judeo-Christian principles and is baked into the DNA of the founding documents. One of the more interesting facts about the colonization of No

I am not downvoting you or flaming you, as you are trying to engage in a debate, not being "needlessly negative". I appreciate that...without honest discussion this whole site is suspect, IMHO. I am all for homosexuality if that

Really? In the Judeo-christian framework? Which, like-it-or-not, has to be considered the base reference for the definition of marriage. Without trying to escalate anything, could you please show me the references for that?

here goes nothing... Have you ever even thought to consider that maybe there was once a really good reason why marriage was defined as a union between a man and a woman? You know, all those thousands of years before antibiotics were invente

By definition, "mediocre people" make up approx. 66% of the workforce. We are supposed to celebrate their inability to make a living?

I am utterly amazed at the amount of hard work and programming mindshare expended on, let's face it, a very unimportant technology. Bravo to you all for showing us that old-school hacking is alive and well!

In this case acceptance simply means facing the ugly reality that, in the real world, actors in power will rarely if ever fail to exercise it for their benefit and not yours. The French revolution is a great example of this Realpolitik in

Because these aren't the values we want to uphold in our public discourses. As a society we all think our leaders, our chiefs, our representatives are good people acting for the common good. Of course we all want that, but I'm s

I think your entire thesis can be boiled down to "if there is a will, there is a way." Which, I believe, also hold true with learning to program.

I've been using the analogy for 30 years now. I've taught both programming and guitar over the years, and in the end, those that endure the frustrations and loneliness of learning , because of whatever-inner-drive, have become su

So Facebook basically gave everyone a personalized website and social graph. Twitter, everyone got their own chatroom. Instagram, a photo-album. Perhaps the next killer finapp is to allow everyone to become their own bank?

This insightful article should be sub-titled "The difference between seeing things from a company-centric vs. developer-centric POV." My hats of to its author for having the courage to write it.
