Why everyone seems to be wanting to use INFERIOR tools in the tech world baffles me. Why in the world would you ever want to do development on the web? You have no control over your development environment. Its almost as bad as the iPad

People tend only do things like this for people they actually know and not for acquaintances on the 5th or 6th degree of separation. Seriously, this isn't a startup. Its not a business. Its a potentially nifty tool that nobody is going t

There is nothing like free contract work. This is no different than the way Microsoft treated developers before the anti-trust hammer was brought down upon them.

A company like this may deliver better education than traditional colleges and universities. However, it won't matter. It won't have the reputation, that matters more than anything else, which has been cultivated by elite schools for hund

I usually will create a new branch based on the TODO list item I am working on. Then I will checkout that branch and work on the new feature. When it is done I will merge it back into master and write a commit about what I changed. Then

Okay I apologize then. There are tons of companies who can afford to pay who don't. I think that a good way to motivate them is to give them a broad thing to do and let them try to do it whatever manner they want. Make it clear to them t

Seriously, just pay something even if it is only $10/hr or whatever service student jobs pay in the area. Not every kid can afford to work free for a summer regardless of the experience gained. Some people need to have a job with some inc

I find that most people just don't understand what being poor and living and rural place is like. Besides the need of a car for a job it is absolutely necessary in order to have any social contact. When you live in a rural place your frie

Sounds actually useful and not like a time sink designed to force feed ads to users.

I am currently trying to find my first project post graduation to do. I am having a very hard time getting started in the freelance. So I would say getting the "first one" is a pretty large problem, at least for me.

Despite people likely being able to break this 50 years in the future, I am willing to bet that ICE couldn't sieze a .bit domain right now.

Rails development on OS X is so nice if you use things like MacPorts and Passenger. Coupled with TextMate I would not want to Rails dev on anything else.

I agree with you. I guess I was simply stating the way it is.

I do think the "leadership" bias is only really apparent in large corporations. I do think that small companies tend to value skill and hard work more, however I find, being in school right now, that it is the large corporations that are r

This is falls in line with one of the fundamental problems with college and that problem is that success is college is skewed towards those whose parents, or whomever, pay their way as opposed to those who pay there own way. Some kids are f

The story is pretty awful from a journalistic standpoint, however how much money does it really take allow three organizations to communicate with each other. I am willing to be its not even anywhere close to $14 million dollars.
