I'm 36, took the 'safe' route through college right after high school and then, through a round about cross country jaunt, I went on to a safe place in a large company after that. So take this for what it is worth to you. If you can get a y

My take on the article is that she had a problem - she needed to better understand how things worked underneath the web software that is Wordpress. The meeting she wrote about helped her do that. It also raised (meta?) questions related to

It's emacs for me but I agree with your thought on the patient practitioner and the mind editor connection. I also think a decent keyboard is part of that connection. I did like the article; the graphic was a good image to see where I may h

I switched careers a few years ago and have often felt like this. I also read Steven Kings book, "On Writing." Even though it's about prose, one of the most important things I took away from it is this: if I want to be a good ______ I need

I liked your story, though i am not really a hacker. Regarding your story, it illustrates an issue I have been thinking about lately. Some background on myself so you know where i am coming from. I started in biotechnology running mass spec

"do not expect companies to call you back, or be overly timely on most contacts." So because thechnology gives us the excuse to be rude? Just opinion here, but if a business takes the time to bring a candidate in for a day of interviewing

If you like scheme and can use osx try impromptu. When you google it it is the third link i think. The video below is pretty cool but the author also has a video called 'day at the triffords' (that may not be exactly correct) which is my fa
