I wasn't advocating that people don't. There are absolutely vastly better compiler programmers than I am that have never taken a formal class. My point was that I wouldn't have learned it because I don't enjoy it. An

I agree 100%. I used to code all the time, prior to my CS degree, in High School, etc. But now I'm a professional programmer. I don't code outside of work, because coding is what I already do 4-6 hours a day. Now that it's my

Regarding 2, I'd like to point out this is both 100% true and somewhat misleading. You certainly can be successful with no degree, but I think anyone without one will tell you it's a significantly more difficult path than a CS gra

Most people that graduate with CS degrees took a few actual programming classes. The majority of the rest is a the same well-rounded classwork you took (English, History, etc) and a lot of theory and mixed-theory/applications classes l

CS is more than abstract theory. It gives you a foundation that you otherwise are unlikely to get. Self-taught means learning things useful for your existing job or things you find interesting. I'm work almost exclusively on the fronte

It shouldn't be a shock. There's overwhelming data supporting the idea that tax incentives for low paying jobs never end up paying for themselves.

While true, I don't think backwards compatibility forever is the right solution to the old code problem.

I don't think "never change" is customer obsession. Improving products is customer obsession.

That makes no sense. You are moving from trusting Microsoft, which has actual skin in the game, to random people on the Internet that don't.

There's a pretty wide area between a skeptic and a conspiracy theorist, but this kind of mentality certainly leans toward the latter. Logic dictates it's vastly more likely the data collected is to improve the editor, than a multi

You think Amazon cares? They will happily eat this as a loss-leader. Neither MS or Amazon is fighting over this for a measly $1B a year. They are fighting over this for $100s of Billions of contracts with other parts of the government.

Expedia isn't a growth company, Lyft is. The question at this point becomes whether or not Lyft can make money, and at a scale to be worth that valuation now.

First of all there's no "evidence" of anything, it's a claim Birkenstock is making. And the actual claim (by the CEO of Birkenstock) had nothing to do with counterfeiters, it was that Amazon was attempting to attract leg
