This is a ridiculously low number. I'd say you really need to double it or so. Good luck! Looks like you've got some pretty cool past projects under your belt.

re: toothbrushes. Mythbusters did a pretty convincing job debunking this. as far as carpeting, sure it holds junk more than hardwood or tile, etc. But nobody's saying these folks should shag out their floors.

from what I've seen, the term 'devops' is generally used to pay a developer less than you would otherwise while getting more from them. I'm not sure how the math of that works out, but based on what I've seen, that&

These are some pretty good points. I got lucky in a few ways, but i'll tell my story. I was a journalist for five years, but had always written code for fun. I ended up becoming friends with a former programmer for a large software com

Oh, god I do these exact same things. Also don't have a formal computer science education (went with journalism). While I'm confident in my abilities and knowledge, I always hedge because I'm 99% sure that I can't be 100

boycotts are fine. the problem is that people are taking personal issues and making them into corporate issues, and that's what is not OK. a person's private life and professional life are SEPARATE. You shouldn't punish Mozil

I would guess the other commenters are jealous that their problem solving skills don't get as much attention. "No, this kid was WRONG!!!" is a way to justify that they are better thinkers, and therefore relevant. In a day and

i think this is actually part of the business model a few newspapers are trying to take on. More of a 'gently encourage' people to buy subscriptions rather than a hard and fast 'Brick Wall' paywall. From what I hear, it&

I think you have a lot of good points. Let me just point out that aggressiveness in management is present IN EVERY INDUSTRY KNOWN TO MAN. I faced it pretty hard in the news business. Just because your boss is aggressive, and he's a man
