A professional working at 50% of his capacity will often trump a junior working at 50% of his capacity. Edit: I Don't know why I can't reply to the replies of this post. What I meant to infer is that the parent to my post may have seen 'pro

iOS may be more valuable to developers today, but if marketshare keeps developing according to the current trend, there will be an inflection point. It's widely reported that iOS users are more likely to spend money on apps than Android use

Used IntelliJ on all projects so far, but looking at using emacs + eclim for code and eclipse for some nice GUI building whenever the next project rolls around.

Don't spend energy on someone that makes you feel negative enough to make this kind of post. Once you're able to do that, it doesn't matter if you add him or not, go with whatever costs the least amount of energy.

I always assumed a weekend project was just something you worked on in your free time, typically, your weekend. So imho, weekend projects are not necessarily wrapped up in a 2 day stint.

The only ethical course of action is to stop the circus and explain to your manager: - what this guy is asking for - how that is in violation of the PCI data security standard - explain that you are not able, and not allowed to provide this

That's exactly what I was missing! Pretty awkward to have to first drag the window you want to take along a bit though. I'd much prefer if I could do something like cmd + ctrl + arrow to mean "move the currently active window to the next sp

I know you can change spaces through shortcuts, my problem was I could not e.g.: Be using chrome in space 1, hit a shortcut and move to space 2 while at the same time moving my chrome window over to space 2. This took 2 minutes to set up on

I would love for Google's broadband ventures to be successful enough for them to consider expanding to European markets. Maybe in 5 or 10 years. I wonder if this data will be made available in some form, I'm sure it could be a great source

Apart from college, it may be a good idea to find out about some techie events / meetups near you. Most technologies will have a local usergroup holding frequent meetups which you could attend to meet up with interesting people.

Great idea. I'm from Europe, but I'd love it if you could stream these sessions too. Maybe look into streaming via justin.tv or something ? VOD's would be pretty sweet as well.

That, and no employer will ever pay a wage to a robot. He'll just replace his employees with robots he buys himself. Even at 100k as the OP posited, a typical robot will have paid for itself in 2-3 years. Anything after that is pure profit.

When I said ceremony, I did mean working around architectural up-front decisions. I was arguing in favor of 'growing something' as opposed to 'designing something' with regards to a hopefully growing userbase. Language choice may be of less

I think it's important to look at how twitter got there though. They'd been using just Rails for a long time before introducing Scala. At that point, it's fair to say they weren't a 10 dev startup anymore. This, imo, is part of having devel

Building something that evolves feels like the smarter intuitive decision. It allows you to focus on features and pivoting over ceremony (boilerplatey / architecture stuff) and when you finally start hitting those performance limits, you ha

Both the Android app and the mobile html version of Google+ look really good, so I'm not too sure this is too little too late from Google in that regard.

Labeling an ORM as an anti-pattern is throwing the baby away with the bathwater. Sure, you will encounter some cases in which your ORM will be a pain in the ass or even actively work against you, but most good ORM's will allow you to talk t
