Heroin addiction is a difficult subject for me for personal reasons...in fact, I am currently on state probation for possession of it in 4 years ago. I become addicted to numb the pain of my mother's passing and my 13 year marriage end

I, too, have noticed a big change along those lines, which is why I was very careful to use the hated "back in the day" phrase. There is no doubt that due to the pace of technological change nowadays, the idea that devs and manage

Isn't it at least sort of true that one person's asshole could be another's best friend? Plus, we all have bad days...of course you shouldn't interview on one of those but it could happen. What if the person has no signi

Yes, I couldn't agree more. But, unfortunately, this was the mindset in corporate IT back 10-15 years ago, and in fact the last onsite contract job I worked a few months ago seemed to contain this attitude, so I was thinking in some wa

The component will have a more extensive API and configuration. This requires more knowledge on the clients side, and makes debugging harder as more things can go wrong. Developing and debugging the component itself becomes harder as one n

Another possible vector to this discussion is that everyone here are OTP's , as to the vast majority of the population, we make computers work and build stuff that other people can't or don't want to build. Now I think we sh

Maybe I'm cynical, but... Yes, you are cynical, but, perhaps unfortunately, you are probably correct. While the need to create some sort of modded-out system to allow interested parties a way to really examine what's in the db a

No..I didn't start Galacticomm :) That would be Tim Stryker, a true genius and a friend of mine, who sadly succumbed to deep mental illness in the 90's. My company, Magicomm, built add-ons and did deep custom modifications of the

No..it wasn't doors. This was the MajorBBS, by a company called Galacticomm, which was the only BBS system that allowed realtime interactions and gave developers the ability to access shared memory that stored game state and player inf

I'm noticing a good deal of BBS references lately in HN stories, and I can't help being amused by this...because, as it happens, the company I started in 1989 when I was fresh out of school wrote realtime interactive BBS software.

Why purchase votes retail when you can just buy a Congressperson wholesale?

I hate the fact that this study seems to be tainted with potential conflict of interest as outlined by @themodelplumber. I wish science could get back to just-being-science and focus on provable, repeatable results sans corporate involvem

Some people would simply call that Sales and Marketing, which is pretty much what the OP was discussing. Of course, S&M has a place in everyone's, even engineers, lives (no pun intended). The idea of tailoring your resume to hit ce

With the way I see young developers shy away from anything-legacy, and the way new languages and fads pop up on a monthly basis, I can hardly believe ANY software is going to last 5 years, much less 10 to (yeah-right) 25. I basically assume

Perhaps he was mentioning that not to disparage them, but to explain why trying to communicate with them would be somewhat more difficult than a shop located in the same time zone? Certainly, many EB programmers are very highly-skilled.
