Speaking from personal experience, I'd second what people are saying about doing this on a very small scale. However, there are soft skills engineers really don't have, nor want. Running a business "where everyone is a softwa

You'd think, but it's not for everyone.

Dalton is awesome. Don't know him personally, but he spoke at Hacker School two years ago(?), maybe more. He speaks the truth, here and otherwise. I ran out of the auditorium afterwards like it was on fire ... or inspired. Interesting side

Is this real? This looks kinda cool, but I don't trust anything on this day of all days!

Your profile reads ~"inescapable idealism" yet you sound like the most jaded person I've come across lately. Downvoting isn't the problem, it's probably cynicism. Nailed it.

If you downvote, you should be obligated to leave a comment. Downvoting otherwise feels like a victimless crime. I exaggerate obviously, but the lack of feedback stunts learning especially if you take the time to read the article and offer

I've been saying this for a while, but the "inmates have taken over the asylum". Not only that, but "Agile" is subject to really loose interpretations and it suffers as a result, both in implementation and practice.

It's more common than you realize. I haven't necessarily found a cure all, but talking about it... helps. Find yourself a professional mentor because this is a career issue. On a personal note, I was (is) feeling the same thing for a long t

It's down vote(s) like this on an otherwise benign comment that drives me to remove myself from the community... much like the subject of the article.

I read this with interest. I don't want to bs you about that. I'd even go so far as to say this is an article your girlfriend or boyfriend should read... BUT what this journalist; would be programmer did for the record is the equivalent of

Now I'm kinda wondering why they didn't spin this out on it's own like a startup assembly line.

"there are some real turds in Silicon Valley", understatement of the year. Gimme some time, I'll eventually rant about this on my way out the door too.

You're definitely right to quote this, but I think it was the exception to the rule.

Am I reading this right... Wilmott's program is roughly $20K. Ouch, but I guess the salary expectation would also be considerably different too. Thanks.

No matter how it seems, success is seldom if ever "overnight". Yes, it may seem things come easier to some than others, but to me personally... success isn't what you accomplish so much as it is how quickly you get up from constantly being

I should've said "unschool". Mia culpa. There's no way I'd go back for another degree at this point. I just might be interested in finance related programming.

I sometimes think HN is trolling me. I just had this conversation about Quants, finance etc. Is there anything like this in NY? I'd go.

If you're a consultant, you'll interface with recruiters a lot. I did. Of course your wife is ~right, it's a sound argument... BUT no job, however many opportunities are on your doorstep are any measure of security. eg - life preserver.

Until someone changes the payment model for 3rd party recruiters especially, I'll always cheer lists like this on. No matter what a recruiter may tell you, they'll never have your interest at heart if there's a commission to be made. The in

I'm only familiar with building pricing models. Thanks for the quick list and links. I kinda want to get into this. Sans hat tip.

They're known for distilling culture and values on clients. It's apart of their high value-added proposition i think. e.g. - best practices.

I'm going to disagree. Objective-C is an ASNI C derivative language. Programming for me at least isn't knowing the syntaxual elements of a language but leveraging paradigms I know to exist from one language to the next. Objective-C while lo

I'm kinda finance geek, but I know nothing about this field programmatically. This looks amazing. Anyone have any other links worth looking at?

This is some truth, "If you're a small company you need to look at the outliers first since that where you're likely to find overlooked talent". It's amateur hour if you're not hiring for culture first and foremost. I think that was Jeff's

The audition project is pretty unheard of. It's time consuming on both ends especially if it's a week or more. What's more common is the 4 hour assignment, which annoys me to no end anyways.

This might be worth a read. Tom Dale wrote about his setup. There's a reference to how Pivotal Labs is setup too. I prefer the later if you can afford it. http://tomdale.net/2012/01/tildes-pairing-setup/
