Look at c# and I think you'll have your answer.

Absolutely. It's not a very sexy language, and I can't stomach a lot of JEE, but the language and the jvm are absolute workhorses. Especially when you're dealing with high performance networking code.

Because the tooling support, for the most part, is lagging.

Media observers will note that snowden has become the story... Very little is being reported on the actual whistle blowing (or gutless treason, if you listen to the media). As i watch this massive PR engine start to tear apart Snowden,,,, I

If you had to put in ridiculous hours to hit the under deliver timeline, you in fact over promised.

Your anecdotal evidence counters research data, and hn votes it to the top. How cute.

Wow... That reads like a poster for the slogan "it's not what you know, it's who you know".

It's so easy to wrongly screen out senior devs for the reasons you mention. I've seen JR devs want to ask tricky algorithm questions, because that's still fresh in their minds from school... I've seen mid level devs ask the framework gotch

Definitely. Having grown up poor and rural, but with a kid that attends a private school in a city, I am amazed at the opportunities he will have that we didn't at his age. Sure, we were all told we could be doctors or lawyers or industry
