Genuine interest and patience. You'll need that to be good at anything. Trite, but so rarely exhibited by the folks in the fast lane.

Another interesting question: how often do your tests run? Most folks probably run unit tests with continuous integration but what about functional and performance driven tests?

I think this is a great idea but I think Dropbox has a pretty well established brand name. My guess is that most people aren't going to find the need to switch. The ones who might make the switch are the paranoid folks who would think this

I think we're missing the point here. Taking the side of the customer of git, I'm happy. I type things on a CLI with git and things happen pretty fast. I'm happy. I don't care whether you wrote it with C, C++ or Haskell. It works. It works

The more I come across sites like these, the more I'm convinced the resume isn't going away. A resume with a link to my Github should cut it for most people looking to recruit. Follow up with a phone call and decide whether I'm able to comm

I agree that the title could use some love. Here's my contribution: The Gumroad to building a successful company. You can thank me later, Sahil ;).

I bought a 2007 Honda Civic that had done 24K miles when I bought it (2009). I put down ~$10K for it. I did almost everything they mention here.

I would've liked it if the author factored into account how you would sustain yourself financially after you take the leap or if it is assumed that you save before making that escape.

Procrastination shouldn't just suck, it should be unacceptable. Don't tolerate it. No excuses. Not even if it's "just today". Close everything! Ask yourself why you're not enjoying your work today. If you're not enjoying what you're doing,

You're likely to cause a lot of trouble for other (possibly new) engineers going through your code. It seems cumbersome to look up metadata side-by-side while going through code. I, personally, always reread my code in the form of sentences

Thanks for sharing Zhang's piece. That's the kind of simplistic (yet crucial) thinking that we almost always tend to overlook.

I'm curious to know what the typical day of a person in this setting is like? As in, what were ones' day-job hours and hours for project work?

I feel this is a general perception of a leader at any large enough institution. The sense of what they've accomplished makes us perceive them as extraordinary. By the time we get to interact with them, we've created this larger than life i
