I want to congratulate you for the formatting of your post. It's very easy to skim through.

I consider your comment very unproductive. You basically berated someone who already came out and said they were sorry for what they did. He realizes his mistake and repents. The fact that you want to make him feel even more guilty doesn&#x

Are you saying that all of the videos on Khan Academy are wrong?

You can measure how much the students learned. I know that's not very easy though. You can also take feedback from students which could be useful, if you know how to collect the feedback.

If they love to teach, they should also get good at it, because being a good researcher doesn't necessarily mean that you're a good teacher. I'm saying this because, at least from the OP, Dijkstra doesn't strike me as a

This is a bit of a tangent, but I know that you don't accept telecommuting? Can you tell me what's your reason for that? You're the only security company that I've heard of that is willing to hire developers without much/any security experi

Hopefully, you'll enjoy what you do, because otherwise it will be difficult to motivate yourself. I started travelling while also working remotely but gave up the work, because I didn't enjoy it and I didn't find the motivation to do it, co

It's not a cool hip thing to bash PHP. It's been happening for quite some time and Python and Ruby don't get as much flak, because they don't deserve as much. I realize it's annoying for you, someone who enjoys writing PHP, to keep hearing

The difference is that you have to talk to people at some point when you're traveling, only if to ask for directions.

You're right that it wasn't in the contracts. It was in an internal rulebook for developers. Too bad I didn't keep it, so I could quote from it exactly. Anyway, my final experience with TopTal was that I asked some questions about the contr

I was in talks with them as a dev. Their requirements were a bit weird, so that's why I didn't sign a contract in the end. I think there was one requirements which asked that the developer answer the employer's message within a pretty short

No, because the two adjectives aren't from the same category, are they? That would be the only reason why you would use a comma.

What do you mean that git is used by expert users? Expert in what, git? If that is true, then I agree with you that you need to be an expert in git to be able to use it efficiently and not second guess yourself constantly when you come acro

Any chance of remote work from Europe?

I'd like to know this as well. For example, is a lot of time overlap with NY hours expected?

Sounds like a nice job. Too bad it's not remote.

If you want to learn Python, you should jump in. The differences between Python 2 and Python 3 are easy to pick up if you start with Python 2.

There's nothing wrong with it per se, but I'm not thinking of spending years with a company, because I want to start travelling sooner. Last time the discussion came up with a company, they said they were looking for someone for at least 2
