Not sure how much value this gives existing employees. If you go up and see that you are making less than your coworkers, then it's a moral destroyer. If you are making average but feel like you are doing more work than everyone else, again

I think this applies to a very specific class of games. When people mention games I tend to this of three very distinct types: Nano Game - something that a single individual put together over the course of a couple weekends. It works, it's

I can see why people would want this, but it sets an interesting precedent. Now that we have a "NC-17" TLD, are we going to start seeing "R", "PG-13", "PG" and "G" TLDs as well? Likewise, if the internet is going to have a redlight district

The most disappointing aspect is the amount of ambiguous information floating around, which leads to speculation and consequently misinformation. Couple that with ignorance that most people have on the subject and you get a lot of people un

There had to be at least one person at Etsy that thought this was a bad idea. As far as most people are concerned, a purchase is a private transaction between two parities that is not to be disclosed (unless explicitly agreed upon by both p

I think you can do away with content. Think of sites like chatroulette, omegle and their ilk.

I took up a pottery class this past winter. It was perfect because it surrounded me with people who knew how to take things slow, sit down and focus on the task at hand. It provided the necessary mental shift I needed to not feel overwhelme

I think this is an important point that most people forget. Most developers may be interested in doing the latest and greatest thing, but unless it can add value to an organization, then it is worthless.

Cyclists would be an exception to your 2 miles/hour theory.

Sounds like you established the baseline of "3 days what took other employees six months". Work is not a sprint, it's a marathon and you have to know how to pace yourself.

what amount would you guys consider to be FU money? How long could you live off of that amount?

I can't help but think that you could manufacture robots to perform the kind of delicate welding that you use as examples.

How would you decode "Guru", "Ninja" and "Pirate"?

by droz 16y ago
Exactly. If you go into the business for the "fun of it", you are going to get exploited and you are going to get burned by your enthusiasm. Program to make money, make a difference to do something great, but don't do it because it's fun.

I think they (google) can really only cry foul if there is specific code in the Bing toolbar that targets google's search results. The way that they describe the approach, it seems like the Bing Toolbar would also be scrapping results from

What absolute drivel. Any engineer worth their wage doesn't pigeon hole themselves into one technology. Those that do, you simply don't hire and they fade into obsolescence. Concepts are more important that technologies. If you embrace the

Sometimes when you have a blighted building on your hands, the only thing you can do is burn it to the ground, clear the lot and start fresh. It just doesn't make sense to replace a window here, the plumbing there when the entire frame is r
