I also love working remotely. I work for an office with an office culture where 99% of the people go to the office. I find more and more of my time is spent on smaller, time critical projects that can't afford to get held up by the politic

I'd probably move to work at Matasano if they thought I had something to offer. Getting my wife to move is another story!

Iterm2. I'm an emacs guy and install emacs from MacPorts - gives the GUI version I like. For the most part that allows me to switch seamlessly between Linux and the Mac. I've tried Homebrew 2x now but have always gone back to MacPorts for o

Why would one use Express to a purely services based app instead of just using straight up node?

What's your hobby? If web development I'd look at Python, Ruby or JavaScript. If systems type stuff then Python, Perl or C. If you wanna be a hobby kernel hacker then C. If games, well. I don't know.

I usually suggest python to people who do not have a primary role as a programmer. Most recently it's been some GIS folks who just need some basic programming now and then. That being said, I'll probably get my kids going on Python or JavaS

When I was younger I could enter the zone regardless of office noise. Now that I work at home I find I often have to add noise.

I often suffer from a mind that won't rest when I'm excited about a project or software problem. Have been like that for 20 years now and have only found a cure in the last year. I listen to an audiobook for 15 or 30 minutes when I get into

Mailing list. Back in 2001 someone on a mailing list I was on was looking for a userland ESP (IPsec) implementation to do some fuzzing or something... And I just happened to have one that was 95% complete. Seeing demand for it, I wrapped

I register on competitors site to get white papers, demos and so on. I use real contact info, and if there is an extra info field I explain exactly what I'm doing. I often get sales calls from them, and explain to the sales guy. They usuall

Depends. I recently did a small project that node was a perfect fit for. But for most larger things I like having threads, and an event based network loop. For that I'm a bit if a java guy and use netty.

I left a full time (somewhat secure job) to go full time with my startup when I had an 8 month old at home and plans for a second child, which happened about 6 months later. Yes, it was a little scary but I had the full support of my wife.

More correctly, NAPT is what is most commonly used, but often referred to as NAT. Just being picky as I've implemented just NAT, just PAT, and NAPT before.

That is a trend. I'm already seeing some startups pulling back into MySQL from Mongo admitting they followed the hype rather than using the best tool for the job. While it could be the perfect fit for some tasks, I know there are a ton of M

I used Twisted in 2005 to develop and server and agent infrastructure.. Portions of the system are now in Java, but the distributed agents are still in Python and out there in production.. I am currently not using Twisted for anything, but

I've had good luck with SQlite as well, until I have multiple writers, or even concurrent readers or writers.

Maybe not all types of contracting work for per day billing. For me I think it works as I'm paid to deliver a functioning product prototype that then goes to QA. Getting pulled into something urgent that required immediate attention is rare

Cool. E was my primary window manager from 1997->2001, at which point I switched to FVWM for about 10 years. Not being too happy with current Gnome (its not that bad), I may give this a shot.

I also use CentOS on servers. It just feels more solid to me, but this is probably more me than it. I also use Fedora on the desktop so I have a consistent package management experience. Even if I switched to Ubuntu/Debian on the desktop,

I thought the article was fine. I learned a few things. I'm a developer that sometimes needs to tack a web interface on during the prototype phase. And I use Bootstrap. And I want it to look like Bootstrap. Should the time come for a design

Maybe true for a sole founder. I was the technical co-founder. My job was to code, work with a few other people who code, and be the overall passionate guy about the quality of the code. I find it helps to have a stake holder in this posi
