I work at Gridium ( http://www.gridium.com ). We're a 100% "virtual" company, meaning we have no central office. We work in several different timezones. Yet we've managed to build products that, by any measure,

This is right. The guy I'm reference, many months later, is still on hiatus. The recovery here is obscenely long and hard.

+1 on the burnout piece. It's a complicated thing. I'd liken it to depression. Lots and lots of people constantly fret about being "depressed". Over time it became easy to dismiss depression as a legitimate illness. Appa

The tech bubble of the late 90's was a fascinating phenomenon. It was global and widespread. My grandmother had significant money in tech stocks at the time. The overall amount of money we're talking about here is MUCH smaller tha

I think "hot girl" phenomenon he is referring to is girls recruiting engineers. I've definitely noticed that happening among startups both in the bay area and elsewhere. I know of one trendy startup that most definitely emplo

That proves nothing other than your dad grew up in a particular way. The question the post you were replying to posed was: is this actually a new phenomenon? Or is it simply good ole day syndrome? I suspect it's more the latter.

Which is why when I want to know that you actually understand something as basic as closures in Javascript, I don't ask for the definition. I ask you to demonstrate it.

Shelters are only a very small part of the programs that help get folks off the streets. While they may not be the best of places, most homeless who seek help (at least in my city) will spend only a short time in shelters. These programs op

NO! Stop it! Look I appreciate your desire to help. It's a fantastic thing, and something we should all do. However, giving money to people on the street is not helping. It's enabling. Basically every city has some sort of program

Here's one that draws pretty much the opposite conclusion of the study in OP's article. It focused on stock message boards, which might not be quite the same. http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/met

Perhaps. But with Starbucks I know exactly what I'm going to get. I know I'll have decent wifi. I know I can sit there and use it all day long. When I travel, I look for Starbucks. It's just the safest bet to know I'm go

Really? I'd actually be interested to hear more about Sharepoint. My experience with it is getting to be awhile ago, and it was VERY unpleasant. What does it do for developers now?

As I've gotten older I've come to discover that there's a really fine line to walk here. You want to be motivated. You want to develop the best version of you that you possibly can. However, being CRITICAL of yourself is ab

Just make sure you're not chasing a fallacy. Most people find that creating "your own thing" isn't the path to freedom, but a prison far worse than any cubicle. Trust me, I've experienced it. If you want real free

So the obvious solution is to let it continue to limp along then? Google did the right thing. They didn't want to invest anymore into it. They shut it down. They gave everyone on the planet TONS of notice. They provided the data. Now we hav
