Yesterday at work a man came to me and talked about one of his superiors who criticized this Excel file he (the first man) made. He made the Excel file because he needed to run some reports, and then word spread around and he shared the fil

You disagree with the teaching methodology, but I think for a 101 course on web development the syllabus is very good. I guess we could debate if fundamentals first or later is a good idea, but in general most teaching is done with fundamen

Not really. I was doing "whatever fits on my 22 widescreen monitor", but a teammate asked me to keep on 80, and I started to change my style to make him happy. Then a new member came to the team, and his coding style was not very good. I to

I've been called a perfectionist because of my coding maintenance. Dozens of my commits are "Source code formatting", where I try to make the code closer to PEP8 (Python). But I don't go actively looking for things to "fix". While reading c

obs: the comment I replied to was deleted :( I might be unkind, but I'm definitely not wrong. Do you believe any company would, on purpose, do something that will make them lose money? (either on the short or long term) It's unusual because

If you're a worthy customer (id: rich), lots of banks go personal with you. Specially on customer acquisition. I earn monthly a good salary for brazilian standards (I'm not riiich, but well above average) and when I was researching a bank t

What do you mean with 4 choices, and a male? I just found two faces on the article and I tried to follow the links but didn't see where these 4 options are.

Also, laws accumulate because the public demands government action on certain crimes, and they believe stronger laws are what's going to stop these crimes, so the laws escalate. Since we cannot stop 100% of the crimes, usually laws only get

I can understand a business oriented (I'm assuming) co-founder pushing for quality/release/cost, but in no way I would let them say whatever I'm doing is "easy". It's disrespectful! If this was being said by a customer, my treatment would b

Chicken and egg. How do you make key partnerships without great tech? Think about OEM customization, i18n/l10n, backwards compability (etc). If MS didn't know how to do these, history would be different.

Web filtering software and even Google Images employ techniques that find porn on images and videos. While I'm not sure about its details, it has been done for a long time and I think it's fairly accurate (even if its false positives are a

The pigeon ranking page was an April 1st joke. It's exactly funny in one day of the year. Saying how you'll rank 85% of web searches is a little bit more serious business.

There are several websites calling for user engagement where the money source is not user data. It's about "creating a community" around your product. I can assure you, in publicity and marketing circles, when social media is mentioned it i

It seems you have three questions, how do you find who your costumers might be, how do you reach them, and what do you say to them. Keep this separated as it makes easier to research :) I'm going to suggest something for your first question
