yes I hired some guys from india off of an outsourcing site. There was a checkbox there if I required screen shot software installed on the devs machines. I did not require it, but when I got to talking with the guys, they said, "yeah

Was thinking the same thing, I am not used to reading like this and it seems like constant grammatical errors. I don't know, English is not my first language, but I believe I would have failed my tests in school, had I written like thi

Looking forward to the autogenerated youtube videos about various topics. Perhaps they would be interesting to watch rather than a few images and a robotic voice.

I suggest you reach out to some local makerspace/meetup or tinkerers who have some experience doing this. I did something similar and a local provided me with conductive thread and fabric and I even got to borrow an arduino set from hi

Every time i see a headline with that wording "we need to talk about x" I just ignore it. Often it's just click bait into something that is not really up for serious discussion and should rather be "I need to tell you wh

In my experience, the ones who shout the loudest about passion and motivational quotes have the least knowledge to get the work done. Sure they put in long hours, only to have their spaghetti code fail at the first attempt of running it. Si

So that's why the same guy keeps adding me. Hah, never thought of it.

No I guess I meant to say out of hundreds of live coding talks, a couple were very good. Most of the time there is this tension in the audience as you see the poor person make a small typo and you wait the longest, hoping they will notice i

I have watched a couple (out of hundreds) of magical coding demos, one that comes to mind was Steven Sanderson demo of Knockout.js https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/MIX/MIX11/FRM08 I just felt really old...

In IT recruiting, which I am exposed to since I have a linked-in account, there is a constant buzz of recruiters reaching out cold. I don't feel any obligation to answer them back about this and that. Because if you do, then they make

What's interesting is that almost all traffic in eastern Norway goes through the city. Instead of having the highways go around it, they go through it. So while the city center is "car free", there is still alot of traffic an

Would be nice with some more explanation. But I guess that is part of what is lacking on social media.

I realized I could never be sure about this kind of stuff, so I made my own. Took me about 5 hours to write a wpf app, it's very crude, but it even flips pages like a book, looks like a book and stores the content encrypted with a huge

I worked as an employee for a consulting company. Then I quit and started my own consulting company. It took me a while to take the leap, but I did and have not looked back since. Good times these days.

If I were to pick one of these. BATNA has been the most profitable one for me. It's truly amazing what this unlocks in negotiations if you have actively considered it.
