I'm from Salt Lake City and a former Mormon. I want to emphasize former because I'm in no way affiliated with the church and have a bit of lifelong bitterness toward it (used to be much worse, mostly over it now) and while I think

Are you seriously comparing Black Berry Messenger to Slack? I had to Google BBM, and laughed when I saw that because people in businesses did not use Black Berry, or BBM, in any capacity even close to Slack. I agree with most points on your

FB's first years only get $50k? In Bay Area California??? WTF world am I living in where people actually get compensated properly? The past few days I've seen posts where compensation at very respectable companies is abysmal! Edit

I always find it strange that Genghis Khan is used as an example this way. He was solely responsible for one of the largest economic revolutions in history by uniting the Silk Road, standardizing a writing system, and ran a meritocratic soc

I felt the same way, but then you get a pay cut when you go to Mars, and another when you go to Indonesia. If the max rate they told me was based on my location, I'd be shocked if they are even be able to find a mid level dev within se

This kind of removes a lot of the draw about being remote - you'll get a pay cut if you move?!

Who decides what an SF rate is though? SF rates are highly variable, like in any other city.

The pay is not even close to competitive. I've been through the interview process and they wouldn't budge on what would be a 40% cut for me. Very disappointing considering how amazing everything else is. I felt a bit insulted, con

A lot of people's lives have Pokemon deeply ingrained in them, and I'm saying that seriously. I think the core community of people who really get into it is much larger than you seem to be expecting. Remember the Pokemon craze of

No... It is absolutely caused by diet. Exercise is a factor, but only because you're expending the calories you brought into your body in the first place. https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/health-topics&

Try networking more. Go to meetups and tech events, tell them you're in the market, build relationships and all that will surely be more effective than blasting out resumes and cover letters.

Doubt it. I have literally never ever seen an intern developer trained up in any company I've worked at.

I used to manage the engineering R & D department at a pretty major e-commerce retailer, they bought the oculus devkit and that was my first idea. I brought it up and was promptly shut down. Then they made me build a cars.com clone. Don

What do you mean by the new medium going forward? What are you expecting it to replace, or do you not expect it to replace anything?

Absolutely LOVE PCPartPicker. Honestly don't know what I'd have done without it. I think I was one of the first users and watching it grow to what it is now was amazing. Thank you!

"GraphQL will completely replace REST in the coming years." What the hell? Where's your source for that? She says the solution is that product managers should be able to make an app do whatever they want to do and skip the en

I went to university, and you're right, it wasn't for me. It also wasn't for the vast majority of people I knew that went. It's great that you saw value in it. I do think you are in the minority. Most people don't l
