What is your employment history like? Being on Skype with a potential employer sounds incredibly unusual. And getting airfare, limo, and a hotel? What are you, a celebrity?

Not if the market share for 10.5 is super small or the cost of maintaining older APIs is too high.

Yes. You got it. You are the only one. Next. Maybe Apple's "incessant need to obsolete" is part of their secret sauce. They're doing pretty well for themselves these days. Look at Microsoft, Captain "Never Break Anything". How are they doin

I would love to find a community for programming-related issues void of all the startup nonsense. Any ideas?

The site isn't loading. Does anyone have a summary?

All this will lead to is gaming the system by trying to post material which will gain karma, i.e. currying the favor of the majority, vs posting things that are legit interesting. It will bury gems and minority opinion.

My fear with headlines like this is that people with no business working at the scale that Reddit does will suddenly eschew years of best practice SQL and by like "my dad's pizza shop CRM only needs two tables, JUST LIKE REDDIT". Everyone p

In Perl you could write print "I ate a $fruit for $meal" Or printf 'I ate a %s for %s', $fruit, $meal

This article is so anti-Joel you should be ashamed of yourself. Not specifically the "being against what Joel said" part but saying something that's the complete opposite of a well-known, highly regarded idea. Rewrites killed Netscape. htt

Sounds like a case of entitlement. Why would you waste your time working on something and not know if it is wanted or not? It's your fault for not planning ahead.

As long as the claims he is making are true, I wouldn't consider it brogrammery at all (just a bit fun/Internetty). It's when unsubstantiated claims are being taken as gospel does brogramming get in the way. HEROKU AND ORM ALL THE THINGS~!!
