This. I used to work at an organization that paid conspicuously less than local market value for comparably experienced developers. The work environment, however, was a really pleasant one to work in. There were quarterly and annual company

No, I suppose not. Thanks for your feedback! I'm really glad for all the discussion in response to my question!

Yes, thanks, this makes a lot of sense.

I might be mistaken here, but isn't Bitcoin the currency with an ultimately fixed amount, with a known, predictable rate of growth (of the number of Bitcoins in existence)? How can this volatility then be attributed to Bitcoin, and not the

You're absolutely right, I didn't mean to imply what schools & corps currently do was shady in any way (as long as you're aware that they're doing it).

What is the difference between someone stealing physical dollars from a bank and the bank inventing new dollars through the practice of fractional reserve banking, other than one practice is legal and the other is not?

We hope ads/no-ads arms race would end there. But I could easily see some unscrupulous/greedy ISPs then resorting to setting up SSL proxies to MITM your ostensibly secure traffic, as some private organizations (schools, corporations) alread

Typically we comment on HN in English. For the curious/lazy, the parent comment roughly translates from Bosnian into English: "Why didn't you stay in Sarajevo?" (Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia)

When I was using eclipse, I found VRapper[0] a decent enough vim plugin. I also agree with you about IdeaVim, it's a good vim, and it's been open-sourced[1]. [0]: http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/home/ [1]: https://github.com/JetBrains/ide

Sometimes I think it might be even more benign than this. Some hiring managers are already so ingrained into their work culture that it's already become transparent to them. "Don't ask the fish about the water," and all that.

To sum your comment, and many others on this thread: Don't let not knowing "simple solutions to simple problems" stop you from completing your next action (fixing the bug, finishing the sprint, launching the MVP, etc.). Don't let not know

I'd like to piggy-back on your mention of Linus. It reminds me of a recent video I saw wherein he talked about how the work on the kernel works within a natural hierarchy. The whole video, IMHO is worth a watch, but the relevant snippet is

I appreciate how you compare the value add relative to the cost of the time it would take your own engineers to do it themselves. If it isn't strategic or core to your business, don't be afraid to consider outsourcing it.

This is really great advice. Few people enjoy or seek out being told they're wrong or their idea is not going to work. By asking questions, you invite the person to open themselves up within their own assumptions. With the right line of que

Thanks for your feedback. The podcast overall is definitely non-maker-centric and I guess it's been a while since I listened to both of the episodes, (parts 1 and 2 that is) or I would have added that it gets better in the second part. Perh

While my reply may only tangentially be related to TFA, your last sentence reminds me of the Manager / Career Tools podcast episode addressing this very issue: http://www.manager-tools.com/2012/02/internal-support-roles-... From the podca

The problem is that the young engineers earning that much become well-fed farm animals at the very moment in their lives when they should be running like wild horses. It's a great metaphor, and I've heard it before - Dave Thomas gave a pr

I went from using mercurial to git and I still have lots of respect for mercurial. I wouldn't mind the switch at all if I needed to work with a team who used mercurial, but personally I still just prefer git.
