There's no magic bullet for confidence. You can try faking it till you make it. Ultimately good work will lead to confidence. If a bunch of boisterous sales guys were constantly "alphaing" me with erroneous solutions and I kn

Well if you always end up being right are you not becoming more confident in your assertions?

Not everyone can work on passion projects, someone has to be the employee, the economy just doesn't work without it. Unless maybe if you run a company like Valve where everyone is technically an "owner". Bottom line large v

Teamwork arguably trumps all skills. Many of the greatest things are accomplished by great teams (look no further than YCombinator demanding multiple founders). Social skills are a critical part of good teamwork skills and good teamwork ski

Which is unfortunate. Symfony + Composer is powerful elegant (yes elegant ) stuff.

Why do you feel the need to "hate" a programming language? Hate racism or hunger or war; but a programming language? I find such vitriol unnecessarily divisive and I don't think it in anyway benefits our industry.

I like how you squeezed in that subtle dig at PHP. It's like you like the idea of being language agnostic just as long as it doesn't involve languages you don't like.

My only point is that to me, giving cash to Kenyans and giving cash to beggars seems morally equivalent. Not saying you shouldn't do either but I do think if you give Kenyans cash but have qualms with giving beggars money, well I don

There's a lot of encouraging things such as the list I just mentioned and the subject of this article HHVM. If you want to bury your head in the sand and continue to hum the tired "PHP is a fractal of bad design" chorus go ah

Maybe HHVM will be like MariaDB and MySQL, HHVM will become the new fork and the current stewardship will be left behind with their troll mailing list. Either way I think HHVM is going to be a huge step forward for the PHP ecosystem, it&#x2

The shortcomings it tries to fix is the speed of the execution of the language, something PHP already gets better than other dynamically typed languages such as ruby. There's lots of good reasons to pick PHP as the language to develop
