A doctor (internist in primary care) friend told me once how he was glad he wasn't a heart surgeon (of some specialty that I don't recall). He said that surgeon in that specialty simply does one type of surgery all the time, as or

Eh, maybe I was a bit harsh. But still, consider this. Doctor: Was the doctor in research? Lawyer: No comment. Professor: How good was his research? Or was he one of those the taught from same note year after year and just took credit for w

I can't imagine a programmer making enough $$ to be able to show up at an event where the main goal is donation. Granted some did show up. Let's list the careers that were still considered safe age 50. Doctor. Lawyer. Professor. A

I love TrueAbility. You are not expected to finish 100% or even 80% of the given tasks completed during the test. I read online somewhere that he/she got barely 50% done but still got an interview. The recruiter giving out the test on

I took 2 different tests for 2 different companies. One was a very simple task, setting up a server as a customer would at an ISP using WebMin type tool. Really simple stuff. Guess what. I couldn't figure it out in time. Maybe because

"This reminded me of Colonels coming to me in the military saying - "I want all of Iraq on my wall at 1:50,000" and as a junior enlisted man saying something, very respectfully, like "Well, sir, Iraq is about 900km from

I have a small theory about cars and low birth rate. If you look at developed nations with well developed public transportation (which means less need for private cars), you generally see lower birth rate. Really low. Look at Japan. S Korea

Great. But can we first get a self-leveling table? I'm sure there are lots of starbucks/coffeebean customers who would like a self-leveling table.

I had a coworker who used to work for a direct competitor of Youtube. He left that competitor (as they were struggling) as Youtube was taking off. His older company had been founded by a Hollywood exec/veteran, meaning he made sure to

I hope Google gets cleaned out and set the example for the rest of the startup industry. Worker Visa wouldn't be needed as much if older workers were given a fair chance in recruitment process. I am sick of hearing tech industry boasti

I suspect no. iOS users pull down far more data. And it's Apple versus Google. Not going to happen.

Amazon had the luxury of borrowing engineering and $ from other side of their business to build that 'small and unpretentious' cloud. No other companies have the $ or engineering to pull it off. Nor the time to wait for it to grow

I was first from my family (poor) to attend a well known PUBLIC university in US. Like top 5 in US or world, in name recognition. I did not feel like I fit in. Many of the kids at this public university just did not get into one of the ivys

I have said it before here, but the best office layout I saw was at Autodesk HQ in mid 1990's. EVERY single engineer (or was it every employee) got an enclosed small office. One office per employee. Full height glass wall between the h

I think it's called Victory Disease. When you think you have been winning all the time and it will continue, your way of thinking becomes polluted, less clear, biased, slow etc.

I feel for you but may I dare say that some fault lies with you, for letting the douch take credit. You should've stopped him before he got out of control.
