I wish I could post the tweet where I said something like, "the beginning to the end of the twitter." That was right after their anti-developer community $hit. That's what happens when your in-house product team is insecure a

> Anyone else find that in this new streaming age they listen to a lot less music? Yes, +1. Bulk of my tracks are same old tracks that I used to tune in a decade ago in CD or cassette form. Radio is closest to what introduces me to new m

I say music/movies and you say humor/comedy. How's that any different? Cultural differences is not necessarily reflected thru language. Also, 7 >> 4. I win :)

IMHO probably yes. But other benefits out weights this. I speak or understand some 7-8 languages. Being able to enjoy movies and music from a wide variety pool makes it awesome!

I second this wholeheartedly. Unless you are specialized in some vertical with locally or nationally recognized skills, you are going to hit the ceiling. I'm not commanding 200-300K salary yet. But story is true for someone earning 150

Collaborative a.k.a Pair Programming is really neat. I've done that in patches and found it really interesting and insightful. But that was some 6yrs ago.

I'm probably going to get a lot of negative comments. I've a simple theory for compensation. First, pay me salary and bonus for my work that I deserve in a given market, for a set of skills and experiences I'll be bringing in

Probably unintuitive UX. I kept scrolling wanting to read something. But it kept changing graph and then suddenly text appeared.

Interesting story. Earlier today I was reflecting my own background. About 10yrs ago, I bootstrapped a project into a startup. Some of its highlights would be getting paid customers, iterating product (pivoting in 2002 lol) and getting seed

I've had mixed reaction to this take home exercise. I've done that some 4 times and 3 of them resulted in getting called in for an onsite (Amazon). If problem is interesting and there's something to learn. I tend to go for it

Proud cord cutter since 2008. Hi-Speed internet providers like Webpass with Hulu+, Netflix or Amazon Prime has more than enough content to satisfy your idiot box cravings. I used to be a netflix subscriber but then I moved to Hulu+. There s

Last time I checked I didn't see any farming in my local main street. Not sure to what extent technology from John Deere can be used for public vehicle. May be not much.

There are so many variables at play. Author is looking at it from a narrow window. I'd not blame him as this affects him personally. That said, what are some other variables? (1) Polyfill Disney is a global company and their mana

Read a book or six top to bottom, mix it with video and blog posts focusing on concepts that are deemed complex or critical in that subject. Build general purpose libraries, plugins, micro-framework or personal projects. Follow-up by valida

In one of my recent interviews, I was asked how do I learn a new language. I rely on good 'ol practice of reading from top to bottom intertwined with YouTube, conf videos and blogs. This highly experienced architect called my approach

I second this. Sometime back I did Python for a production work. That for the first time gave me a true sense of Object-based inheritance v/s class based inheritance. Prior to that I used take JS way as-is. But wholeheartedly, may be n

My 2cents here - I respectfully declined to answer any JavaScript/CSS questions prompted by a recruiter. Being a front-end guy, I proactively request for hiring manager or a senior front-end engineer from the team.

Sad and scary truth of worker bees, probably in any industry. Few days back I was trying talk some sense into an aspiring wall st. investment banker. Didn't seem to be bothered by the story exhausted merrill lynch intern who was found
