"A person who can simultaneously be fluent and productive across the entire stack is a unicorn" That is a big sweeping statement to make. I have worked with a few people who are great no matter the technology they are using. Being

"The Duct tape Programmer" By Joel Spolsky is a good one. It always reminds me that we are here to build software, not design the perfect system. The quote from Zawinski is great "It was decisions like not using C++ and not u

I don't understand why people think being able to eat gluten is a binary thing. Case in point: My wife can technically eat gluten, but doesn't. She started having stomach/digestion issues 6 years ago, and we have spent thousa

'The classes at ITT Greentree were laughable. I learned more just tinkering on my own. They were so easy to pass and you could tell the instructors were used to underachievers.' I was at Moon. I worked there as a lab assistant and

I graduated in 2005 from ITT in Pittsburgh and the total cost was a hair under 28K. I got a few grants, but had less than 20K in debt when I graduated. Was the pricing really that different where you went? Also, that was over 10 years ago.

I graduated from ITT 11 years ago. Care if I chime in? * Why did I go? I was just out of high-school and I wanted to be a software engineer. I looked at the local university (Robert Morris in Pittsburgh, PA), but I didn't like their pr

I only go to work for a pay check! I wouldn't be doing what I do if I was financially independent. I stopped working more than 40 hours after 3 months of 65-75 hour weeks and realizing I wasn't getting squat for it. Other people w

Where is the "Because I want to limit what can be shown to my kids " option? Seriously, I run an ad blocker at home strictly because I want to control what advertisers are broadcasting to my children.

This is their developer conf. Any announcements will be strictly dev related, and limited to the keynote. So, for example, maybe Azure upgrades/SDK changes. Visual Studio updates, .net framework, etc... All the other sessions are deep

I can't happen but notice the "village" button on the bottom on your site. I used to write "news" for that site. I still talk to the original owner of that site today. ahh... memories :)

From what I understand, companies _have_ to do stuff like this. By not protecting a copyright or trademark you are, in effect, giving it up. Calling your API "node.whatsapp" is using their trademark, and they do have the right

In my mind the difference is that I don't have to build it! Using this I can just plug in my numbers and go instead of spending time building a spreadsheet.
