Her list is ridiculous. The male equivalent would be Alan Turing, Dennis Ritchie, Steve Wozniak, a guy who worked on TCP, and, I dunno, Guido Van Rossum's boss or something. The true founders of the internet. The original list is kinda sill

First of all, let me say I think your site is exceptionally attractive. I am immediately presented with the logos of scores of exciting startups. This engages me right away. Although, at the moment the front page is a bunch of Airbnb listin

If someone doesn't know some definition, they can look it up in a book. If someone isn't able to solve problems, that isn't something you can fix easily. I'm tired of all these people who do poorly on tests turn around to blame the test. Ev

I feel that the market right now for Django is still too small for something like this to really work. Even the open Django job boards like http://www.djangogigs.com are pretty barren. How are you going to convince employers to fork over

This is a false dichotomy. The financiers who made this list were all entrepreneurs. James Simons, John Paulson, Steve Schwarzman, David E. Shaw, etc all successfully founded companies. Their companies just happen to be investment firms. Th

Spot on. I came here to say just this. Dev branch or not, there is no way he could have missed this. I don't know how you can better advertise a limitation than this. Maybe he didn't realize he was on a 32-bit box. Maybe he didn't pay atten

It was much more difficult before they changed the scoring in the early 90s, but you're right that it really doesn't mean anything at that level. I didn't even know AP was around back then, but obviously nobody cares about a 5 on BC Calc or
