Noticed a few too. Like the fact that Scott Chacon wrote a book on Pro Git, not GitHub itself (maybe that's in the works).

I'm a big fan of style guides, and I plan on advocating their use on any projects that I'm a part of. They make it easier for full stack devs like me to be productive without having to delegate every small thing to a designer or rely on eve

A lot of the folks that I referred to are actually independent consultants, or switching consulting companies regularly. That phenomenon transcends the typical consulting firm loyalty and is more of a culture around Microsoft products.

In the .NET ecosystem, there's a number of individuals that enhance their own self-promotion by hitching their wagon completely to the Microsoft train. They present themselves as "experts" and justify high hourly rates by presenting their M

Wow 7 years of graphic design, 5 years of piano, and 10 years of study as an oral surgeon and you're only 25! Sounds like you should pick up some skills in Mobile Development and solve a problem that you've encountered through out your extr

See Ken, I'm not the only one who thinks you're nuts! ;) If anyone needs an awesome Unix Devops guy that is also a kickass backend Ruby engineer, hire Ken and let him work from home so he can have more time with his kids.

I've worked on systems that have checklists tied to charging systems where the nurse practitioner is expected to record charges for every procedure as they check it off while caring for a patient. These "charge codes" are standardized acros

Excellent read, but unfortunately a little lacking in terms of solutions. I've found myself in this position a few times, and in general, it was more likely to happen in Sales-focused organizations where non-technical sales people were all

I debated not submitting it, but I thought the idea warranted some discussion. Seems like every other day I read about a startup with a free service shutting down because they were bought by Facebook, Twitter, or Google.

I've done three stints in Healthcare IT, and I can tell you the biggest challenge you'll have is getting your software in the door. Most providers won't talk to you unless you build on top of platforms they already run (Epic, Cerner, Eclyps

Great article and this thread is great for checking out some new hosts for dedicated servers. Pricing has gotten pretty good in the last year so I think it's a good time to upgrade from PaaS to Dedicated hosting again. Has anyone had experi

There's still a lot to be excited about. Here's just a few things that excite me: * Programmers are building and financing viable products on their own. * They're deploying to the cloud because it's cheaper and more approachable for the lit

I'm surprised at the fertility rate figures for the US, as I expected to see a downward trend there. Among lower middle class and immigrants (especially those that are Hispanic), I expect fertility rates to remain higher. However, with the

As others have stated, it's mostly issues with the Math and the lack of preparation that most US public high schoolers get in Calculus. I started Engineering (CS Degree) in Boulder, CO with a guy that came in study Electrical Engineering. H

I've worked at a company that tried to implement these types of 'hackathon sprints', but it always came down to last minute fires or upper management delaying them at the last minute for arbitrary reasons. Glad you guys are able to do it, a

Speaking as someone who's worked in 3 different healthcare software companies (2 large Co's and 1 startup), you'll be far ahead of your competition in the healthcare space if you know how to code. Healthcare is full of Product Managers and

In some ways that feels limiting. Hipchat can embed images, videos, and files. Are these things possible over IRC now?

So is this a competitor to HipChat and Campfire? Any additional things that it does differently?

Any chance that Thumbtack will produce an API? It would be nice to have a way of getting at the data to embed recommendations, connections, etc inside other apps.

OSS authors that write apps in C++ have complained about nearly the exact same problems and often ignore Windows completely for many of the same reasons. I think the only viable approach for cross platform OSS on .NET is to take a Mono-firs

It's funny, I remember seeing similar numbers between IIS and Apache in the early 2000s right before the dot com bust. There's gotta be some correlation between number of new public internet sites and OSS Web Server adoption. We've known fo

Sounds like he's wanting to use a lot of native C++ libraries, so I imagine he'd still run into performance problems even if he found a way to use JNI with JRuby.

It's all about context. While a candidate might have some code online, you save a lot of time by having some code that you're more familiar with and can utilize to see how they think about a problem. Also it's good to see how someone reacts

The other awesome thing about tmux is being able to use it for remote pairing with vim or emacs. When working remotely, I use this a lot.
