   open up command prompt (or shell if mac) on my less tech-savvy friends computer. Then type in some commands eg: dir netstat -b systeminfo etc They usually freak out thinking that I'm hacking them. I act like I am too

   I downloaded Atom as a cool new thing to maybe use on my netbook. It was more resource intensive than Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition lol.

   Cool, thanks! I have yet to learn C other than from what I've learned from programming in C++. I am really interested in learning some C however, especially after this post hit front page a few days ago: https://matt.sh&#x2F

   Thanks, as someone who hasn't used a UNIX os since Highschool I am not very familiar with them. As an aside I am thinking about installing a light UNIX distro on my netbook. Win 7 is so painful with only 1GB of RAM. (I love being poor

   Microsoft is a giant (so many different countries, languages, regions, command chain, etc) and they are the kings of backwards compatibility - so a lot of shims and other things to make Hotmail work for slow internet, older version of iE (t

    The Notes update looks great! I use Notes for shopping lists and also to store passwords/personal info - so the TouchID security feature is nice. Another native iOS app I use a lot is Reminders - great for appointments and todo reminde

    This describes me. I get mundane work that is way below my level, and the few times I get to actually code or program something it is for a small feature. Cant wait for a few more months when I get some more financial independence to move s

    So am I overachieving by trying to learn React+Flux and Angular.js + typescript and also trying to learn ASP.NET 5 MVC 6 while working my internship? Maybe I should just make HTML 5 games instead...

    I guess "tone deaf" is when someone doesn't understand what your tone of voice is and what that tone implies. Like if you say something sarcastic, your voice tone and body language conveys it.

    Web _advertisement_ developers did. Also, to get money back for hosting content, ads was pretty much the only way, as a lot of people rather not pay a sub fee. Patreon or similar options are the best I think.

    Thanks. I should have put in OP that some of these method bodies are dozens of lines (sometimes approaching 100+). Some of these variables are used quite often.

    Front end devs or some graphic designer. Its good for marketing a product as long as its kept to like under 5 items. For showing data/information, it is a terrible way to do it. I dont want to read a powerpoint presentation.
