I'm writing a web app right now with a node backend, and I prefer to use the debugger over print statements. Granted I do 9-10 hours of Java programming every day before I work on the web app, so I may just be more comfortable with the deb

Nice. The title is almost as impartial as the actual article or the comments section where users gleefully celebrate another victory over "Microshaft Winblows."

Is there more info about the Microsoft investment in Apple regarding the OP's claims that the brilliant and merciful Steve Jobs allowed Microsoft to spin the deal in the press? By all accounts, it seems extremely out of character for Jobs

I think he's implying that if the price drops to $10, the PE would be at a reasonable level.

Well the prevalence of programmers referring to themselves or others as ninjas and jedis has the effect of proving that brogrammer culture hasn't taken over...the industry is as nerdy as ever.

I agree that people trying to learn in order to get rich quick is good for nobody (it's akin to the 100%+ increase in CS enrollment around 2000 that I remember some of my professors telling me about). That being said, Bloomberg's initiative

It seems to me like there are ulterior motives behind a lot of programmers' hostile attitudes toward non-programmers learning some of the craft. If I didn't know any better (and I don't), I'd say that people think, consciously or otherwise,

It's refreshing to see this sort of tactic on the end of the employer because it shows that the process really is a two-way street. The potential employee is as valuable to the company as the company is to the employee (in a good match). It
