I agree completely, this is usually the driving principle when coding, I don't spend a lot of time with premature optimization in terms of making the code run as fast as possible, etc but if I am face with an issue where I realize I haven't

Yeah I found this annoying as I've written some google scrapers, I ended up having to use a library that supports javascript to be able to click the link and then pull the url off the site directly, oh well, a lot of sites do this so its a

Nowadays I think most cities they have spaces that can be rented on an hourly basis that are suited for this purpose (beyond hotel rooms)

by devs1010 15y ago
I have felt this way myself, currently I live in a city with terrible public transportation where you have to drive everywhere, I drive pretty far to and from work and it just wears on me. I'd like to move somewhere where I don't have to dr

some companies just want an ass in a seat and giving you a remote project doesn't accomplish this.

by devs1010 15y ago
Agreed. I worked in a remote-ish situation early on where the people were in town but didn't have an office so I worked from home most of the time. I feel I've definitely progressed a lot more now since I started working in an office, but t

I worked for a company like this, honestly I didn't really like it, at least the meeting in cafe's part, personally I find the comforts of an office superior in this regard as a conference room with no distractions and a projector beats sit

The only place I've seen this is Fresh and Easy stores, other stores have automated check out but still have the ones with cashiers too. I think it works great at Fresh and Easy, they have an attendant who goes around, as needed, to check I

Selenium's webdriver is great for this, they have different implementations so you can use it like wget (but more sophisticated) where it doesn't run an actual browser or you can have it run an implementation where it actually runs a browse

Adding extra JSON fields can break code if you have matching entity types, say in Java, for example, and its trying to "cast" those JSON objects to that data type I am fairly certain it will throw an exception if the JSON object has a field
252.
by devs1010 15y ago
Yeah... the people who can make use of this sort of thing already would probably be able to do the steps of generating the code in the RAD framework so I just don't think there's much room to actually make money on something like this but m

Some of the comments below are a bit scary to me, it seems everyone things architect = manager and I work in a company where this is also the prevailing thought and I just can't agree with this line of thinking. There are a lot of nuances t

I live in Santa Clara for a bit so I think I have an idea on this, honestly it can be rather appalling how much housing goes for there, one of the main problems there is that the geography of the bay area makes for a lot of bottlenecks when

I think spatial intelligence can help with programming, I'm not real up on all the different categories of intelligence, but I think I tend to be more of a spatial thinker which could be part of why I have more and more come to like designi

by devs1010 15y ago
cool idea, not sure how much change it would effect though as it seems there isn't real evidence that can really damage the people taking the bribes
257.
by devs1010 15y ago
awesome, yeah these are all good ideas.. I'm thinking down to the local level, I think that its easier to effect change at the local level too, I think its key though to find places to "dig up some dirt" on any public official who is f'ng t

by devs1010 15y ago
yeah, I know, thanks for the advice... what I'm thinking is more of just taking whats already out there, I'm not into going around and trying to gather evidence myself. I feel that most government officials a) feel they are above the law an

In this case they wanted a "big fish" type of engineer, they have to compete to get this type of employee because the guy has weight in the industry. I don't see how a company can not present a clear, desirable path to a prospective employe

Just drives home the point that you have to do your research before joining a new company, I'm not criticizing you at all, by the way, its just the more I have thought about software businesses the more I have realized how people can be use

Isn't this what frameworks like rails, grails and spring roo are for? They make creating a basic CRUD app trivial. If you just need a trivial app then use one of these frameworks, anything more is obviously going to require customization on

We need to take back the concept of the government serving the people, they are our employees, we pay taxes that go towards their salaries, last time I checked, my boss has the ability to read emails I send from a company email address.
265.
by devs1010 15y ago
Its all subjective. To some, such as myself, I don't give a shit if it cost our government to "lose face" and possibly have to back out of war, etc. I personally feel that are government is up to no good in a number of ways and that those i
266.
by devs1010 15y ago
Yes, the government is not above the law. If they are going to do things that are incriminating obviously we can't go through the normal channels to find out as they will cover their asses to no end. This sort of thing is literally one of t

This is completely untrue, I get the feeling you haven't worked a place that has many H1B employees. All I can say is it has been quite obvious that some H1B employees were not quite as sharp as their American counterparts at some places I

Agreed. Over the last 10 years, arguably much longer, if you take into account the "war" on drugs, the US government has begun to, in some aspects, wage war on its own citizens. The power grabs by politicians and law enforcement nowadays is

"then they should be publicly offering their own correspondences up for inspection" We already are, the government has made it fairly clear that they have the "right" to read anyone's emails they please due to their bullshit "war on terror"

graduated from high school? well, maybe consider going to college, you can probably qualify for aid, etc. If you want to become a developer, all you need is a somewhat decent computer and an internet connection and you can go from there wit
