I think the analysis could be improved by excluding people who made a couple of trades worth of a few dollars just as an experiment, etc. This way, leaving only the people who took it somewhat seriously. Even then, the data would be heavily

It's an interesting topic but I unexpected some analyses or conclusions at the end :( maybe the OP is going to release the raw data for the interested? Quite curious how would that turn out.

When it seems so shady, I'd assume that it is a scam unless proven otherwise.

That's one of advantages of frameworks - applications using them are somewhat standardized. They have similar structure, you instantly know what's the typical way to save or fetch a database record, etc. Sometimes you can do a bit

>>> The wrong way: Always use a framework on top of PHP I haven't been actively working with PHP for quite some time but... From what I've seen, I wish many people didn't take this advice (including the teenager me).

I am in a very similar situation right now and I totally agree with you on this one.

And a color scheme somewhat similar to Google's. Well, there's "Campaign for Accountability" logo in the header, however, it's probably still a bit too deceiving than it should be.

I got the same impression. It would be worth taking a second look at if the vast majority of those 250 people were top executives: >> Regulation watchdogs may be just as keen about the moves between Google and the Federal Communicatio

It's just that it's very hard to determine what's 'wrong' and what's not, other than very extreme cases and even then you might disagree. Banning some media because you don't consider right/worthy&#x2

I see what you mean. Just to give a different perspective, I'm wearing glasses all the time for the majority of my lifetime (24 y/o now and since I'm 8). For me, it's not that I hate them or something, I just can't

Micromanagement is usually on the extreme end and is usually bad. However, hand holding, when the developer needs a variable level of managing and overseeing, is quite normal and usually reduces the variance of the produced work. You could

As someone who lives in Europe and faced hundreds of them, I've developed total blindness to them, so they hardly have any value at all. Good intentions, poor implementation.

Same. Probably that's why I usually abandon my side projects ;) well, at least I learn something new every time. Just sometimes you need to get focused and finish some ugly small issue that prevents you from actually shipping. The feel

If we can trust in Alexa, reddit is #26 globally and #9 in the US. Even with some error margin, that's damn mainstream.

Agreed. Probably a large fraction of 'profitable independent day traders' mention by parent depend on luck. It's one thing to post a profitable month/year, whole different thing is a profitable decade. It's relative

Equally, there are many athletes that play at amateur/semi-professional level and suddenly they are top level starts (e.g. Chris Smalling, Jamie Vardy). So yes, it's possible. It's just that the odds are not in your favor :)

Totally agree. Humans are social, and in social settings leadership emerges naturally, no matter what your management vision is. Sometimes the natural leaders are the same as the official ones, sometimes not. Although I am curious why do yo

The way I interpreted is that it's probably negative if your experience is XY years in the same $foobar industry. In other words, the kind of developers who haven't learned new anything since 2000. I've met people with over a

The key takeaway, for me, is: * outsiders can bring some fresh thoughts and challenge ideas that everyone inside keep as status quo and unchallenged; * people who define themselves as e.g. 'Ruby on Rails dev' (or JavaScript dev or

Honestly, I found this post really weak. 'Pokemon Go does (or not) X, Y, Z, it's growing real quick, think about what you are doing!'. There are thousands, if not millions, of apps that do the same things but they end up nowh

Yes, this. Some people will look for careers in industries that are known to pay more (e.g. finance), even though they don't like or even hate the industry. For others, they just prefer a job that they actually enjoy and just enough in
