what is with constantly taking terms, such as 'hacker' and trying to assign some sort of narrow, self-serving definition of them to the word. So if a hacker is someone who 'is only "ok" at coding' but they are critical for developing direct

well, if someone can handle this part, I've got the email scraping part down :) I don't have access to a lot of proxies to do this

by devs1010 15y ago
I could help with this, if you know of a site where it has lists of domains registered with godaddy let me know and consider it done, I already have an email harvester script I've been working on and can easily tweak it to do this, its mult

I agree with the "CEO can't code" part, I've worked for two very small companies (one startup, the other basically a startup but was a few years old) and both had worthless CEO's who hardly understood anything about technology which made th

by devs1010 15y ago
I agree, if you're not standing to get a good share of equity then just look at it as another job. Of course, every CEO-type, like the guy above wants you to do what he's suggesting and slave away but you should evaluate your options and ma

I think that the UK is considered on-par with the US, I wasn't inferring anywhere that the UK is third-world.

No system is going to be perfect, how can "high-skill" immigrants be evaluated with absolute certainty that they are, in-fact, highly skilled. I am sick and tired of employers in the U.S. viewing people with degrees from universities in thi

Does your company do a lot of back-end SQL updates / changes?

I'm kind of working on something similar but in Java but so far I have just written text mining things that meet my own specific "wants", just scraping google alone presents a vast amount of data that can be extracted and evaluated to match

Interesting as I don't think this would hurt the overall phone business as someone is always paying for the return call. However, I suppose this would tip in favor mainly of the landline companies and would be cutting profits from cell comp

Your employees will never care about the company as much as you do and why should they.. obviously treating employees well goes a way towards getting them to care more, its a two way street, the more you care about an employee, and show it,

Thats why its my opinion, I said IMO, IMO it is better that those sites and no one else can dispute what my opinion is

by devs1010 15y ago
yeah, I agree its a bit weird, at the company I work for people usually just resort to describing the issue when talking about it (when not in front of a computer), rather than reference the number, but jira ticket numbers are frequently pa
285.
by devs1010 15y ago
Referencing things by number is pretty common, I think, a lot of places use a Jira system where each ticket has a number and its often used for all development related tasks.

its amusing that a site like digg which was fairly widely popular is now only as popular as a niche site like Hacker News. Don't get me wrong, Hacker News is, IMO far and away much better than either Digg or Reddit but both of those sites h

I agree to an extent but they do need someone to basically take all the crap from the "stakeholders" and it may be better to not waste that on someone with technical knowledge

"4) Worry about interfaces, objects and design. Don't worry about technology. The latest buzzwords will not save you from bad design practices - and bigger hardware will only save you for so long." Excellent advice, this is really what is c

Session locking (tying a user down to a particular instance in a cluster) can be used to mitigate the statless issue, basically if its data that you are ok with losing if one instance of a cluster goes down then it should be fine to hold th

Just because you did doesn't mean its the standard way things are done, for the vast majority of jobs (especially those outside of Silicon Valley), it just doesn't work that way, for some jobs it may make sense to take your approach but thi

This is ridiculous advice unless you are only going to apply to very small companies where you will only be talking directly to other programmers, very few recruiters / hr people are going to care about your github projects and for a compan

The product manager at my job is completely non-technical, and this seems to have been by design (they just filled it from an internal candidate a couple months ago), basically she is supposed to be the bridge between engineering and the "s

One doesn't have to search long to find plenty of examples of how the US government has made a mockery of the 1st Ammendment as well as many other Ammendments in the Constitution. Its nice to think that we have fundamental rights but in pra

The US seems to be taking the expressway already to becoming more like China in terms of how the government relates to and deals with its citizens. This is just the tip of the iceberg considering a lot of whats gone on in the last decade in

Discrete math is what tends to be useful in programming. I have a couple years experience as a developer but I guess I'd say I'm sort of in the same boat as you where I am trying to gain a more solid grounding in mathematics to hopefully ev

I don't mean to be overly critical but letting this go for 3 months is a bit much, in my opinion. If I were in the same situation after a week or two of my doing a lot of work with him doing nothing I would have had a talk with him, maybe j

I think the main purpose of these is to catch the buggy code before it even gets checked in, not to assign blame to a developer
