   I don't know how to respond to your comment. I'm sorry to hear about your wife. After I hit "reply", I'm going to turn this laptop off and go downstairs and give my wife a hug.

   If you already have a degree and are looking for a MS in CS you'll be hard pressed to find a better program than OMSCS from Georgia Tech. http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/program-info/admission-criteria

   Once finished you will have the perfect combination of skills for the robotics industry and probably many others. Ironically, I've actually thought about pursuing a mechanical engineering degree after my CS Masters.

    I think the best part of this post, at least for me, is that I had no idea who Daniel Pink was until a moment ago. This is why I stick around on HN. Thanks!

    I hate printers. I haven't used one in months. However, I just printed this comment and I'm hanging it up in my office. Perfect.

    code.org scratch.mit.edu I once jokingly told my eight year old kid that he can play video games whenever he wants as long as he has made it himself. Now he's all in. I may come to regret this decision. It is all he wants to do now.

    I volunteer as a FIRST robotics mentor, specifically as a programming mentor. I find it incredibly rewarding to see students go from zero to programming hero (from their teammates' perspective). Also, as a web developer, I like the ch

    I recommend you spend the majority of your new found free time away from a desk. Then you'll gain perspective as a newly minted manager regarding the human element of software development. That being said, Rework by J.F./DHH is fa

    The Pragmatic Programmer from Andrew Hunt. Very informative book. It is a book filled with opinions/tips from experienced programmers, some of which apply and some don't. The ones that do are invaluable.

    There is a difference between "water cooler/coffee" as compared to going to a "coffee shop". When I read the article I thought "water cooler/coffee". I'm regularly asked to "go get a cup of
