I've often thought the same thing since becoming a full time freelancer, the talent agency model. The problem to overcome is that, much like most recruiters I've dealt with, it's hard to find someone who isn't a technical developer to under

Sounds like one of those "idea guys" who thinks everything they think of is brilliant, but doesn't have the talent, discipline, and skill it takes to create anything. People like that get on my nerves. Learn a skill other than sales.

Even before then I found jobs on my own, but I was willing to give recruiters a shot. Never had one send me to a job I was remotely interested in.

by greghinch 14y ago
Once I had more than about 4-5 years of experience, I never saw the need for working with a recruiter. I tried a few and they always sent me to those kind of shops where you can just smell in the air that everyone hates their jobs and the d

Wow I have no idea who this author is, but jeez get over yourself. An article comparing resolution sizes could have easily been written without coming off as an entitled brat. No one is holding a gun to your head saying that you must upgrad

"His son, now 25 years old, graduated in 2010 with a degree in classics from St. John's College and couldn't find a job." This is the problem right here. Gee I wonder why you couldn't find a job in "Classics"? Because there aren't any, at l

Well if you use JSON, you did vote, because he created the spec. If you've never read his book or watched any of his talks, maybe you should check them out. He never says "this is how you have to do it". He says something to the effect of 1

(young) people seem to always want to find ways to skirt the "rules" that Crockford sets up (see also, jslint). Just stop. The rules he lays out are there to make your _long term_ programing life easier. Yes you may have to remember to use

What would the point be? I think this brilliantly satisfies the requirements of a watermark while also achieving a simple usefulness. This is where design reaches its peak, when functional requirements, practical use, and pleasing aesthetic

Really. The 100-odd patents filed by Apple just to achieve that level of touch capability don't constitute a technical revolution? Compared to the state at which touch screens had been advancing prior, it was a night and day change.

I'm sorry, do you remember the state of touch screen consumer devices pre-iPhone? It was a much different world. If your jaw didn't drop a little the first time you saw the pinch/pull zoom on a map during the keynote, I don't know what it w

I don't know, by the same logic you could say you have a right to not let other people look at you in public (you don't). I understand the desire for a right to privacy (despite no such explicit right being anywhere in the constitution), bu

How about, create something actually useful and share it with some people? So much intelligence and time is wasted in this community on gimmicks and a big marketing push to just try and make an easy buck

While I agree that this is a security hole and it should be fixed, a headline like that is completely misleading and a scare tactic to drive eyeballs to the article. This flaw only would affect a very small subset of users, but the headline

This just in: centuries old economic and social inequity NOT immediately solved by well intentioned startups! Hipster nerds decry the idea as a failure for not generating a billion dollar valuation after 2 years. Seriously, poverty in these

Yep I'm right there with you, and a lot of those points are exactly why I left to do freelancing and enjoy it for the most part. I've definitely done "working trips", and I do work each day when it's best for me. That being said, the part I

As someone who left full time about 2 years ago to do 1099 work only, I recommend you definitely work on pushing your rate up as you go. Not only do you have to account for the extra costs, it's also likely you won't always be billing 40 ho

While this "argument" has prompted several lol's on my part, JS really needs some equivalent of PEP8 And if you don't use semicolons you are an asshole.
