I've been out in the wilds of industry for a while now, so it's been a while since I needed to pay for something professionally... back in the halcyon days of academia, I worked in computational medicine and had (still have) interest in lin

not quite a tautology, I was being a bit facetious... imho the concept of understanding is tied up with the meaning of expectation, so much so that by definition the code I don't understand doesn't do what I expect - if it did, then I'd und

"expectation-congruent programs should take less time to understand" this statement feels tautological, I don't think there's a single correct set of expectations

discriminating libraries like that is one of those skills, imho... I think having a deep understanding of the most useful libraries is powerful : maven, OSGi, Jetty, ActiveMQ, HttpClient, Hadoop, Velocity, other popular projects on apache,

You don't actually have to be that much of a soldier at most places and most places today, imho, would hire steve jobs. I have a day job and my personal ventures and the bottom line is if you do your job, nobody cares. I think the vast majo

Monsanto Bee-Sure Pollinators (tm), coming to a farm near you. I wouldn't be surprised if that was going on and I also wouldn't be surprised if it was just because small creatures respond first to small, pervasive pollution. I thought there

awesome congrats! This looks like a solid library, I like widgets that are initialized and configured with JSON. I've used highcharts in the past, I'll check it out next time I need to do some charting...

I read that might as dripping with sarcasm... it's highly unlikely he would have taken it down if they hadn't flipped the bitch switch and now that the internet militia is tracking them down they flipped it all the way to nice.

I don't think so at all,even without trying to reverse it you can inspect the DOM and debug the event flow etc. I think "construction is more difficult than verification" is a good adage for engineering. JS/CSS is transmitted in the clear a

Coding rocks in places filled with top performers. If you're really good and don't settle for working with mediocre people, you'll find an interesting place. Also, your creative expression for coding has to be something that persists longer

I'm actually doing something similar. A few weeks ago, I decided to do a clean slate rewrite of my projects and record the hours worked. My wife has been making recordings of various evolutions of the design and I'm getting ready to go publ

It's not the olympics, you don't have to be the top 100 in the world to matter. I started at about 8yo... professionally at 16 and I'm 32 now. I think worrying about things like this is a proxy for accepting one's own aging and mortality. S

it depends, graphics systems have some pretty hard real time constraints for latency. The best gfx coders are required to find unique implementations/approximations for extremely difficult problems. Think about doom and carmack and what you

if you're not a cofounder and it's totally distributed you should probably be a little nervous... I'm totally against banning remote work (I'm a remote worker now) but there is definite value in a central nexus.
