I think low frustration tolerance is a nice euphemism for emotional immaturity. There should be really no emotion involved when you run into roadblocks. It just gets in the way of finding a way around. Anybody who feels identified with LFT

OP shows a really strange prejudice against Java. I've been a Java developer for 10 years. The syntax of Java is a bit more hairy than other languages but the IDE and library support is much better. It is high performance, established and a

I discussed all of this with them and I have been very careful to only develop (or even read articles) on my machine and reserve theirs for semantic technology work. I don't feel anything antagonistic at this point, but I would like to at l

That makes a lot of sense, thanks. Do you know how I would find a decent firm for this? Are there any good review sites? Are we talking $500? $1000? more? Just a general idea...

I'm a few years out of being a recent CS grad and I'm assuming you have checked the normal ones like dice.com . I'm posting to encourage you to apply to any job that you find interesting, even ones for senior developers and particularly tho

I think it's better to give an answer directly related to your skills in your field. None of us is perfect, and we should all have some particular things we are working on. If you get the job, your actual weaknesses will become apparent soo

You can setup keyboard shortcuts to be whatever you want in eclipse.

I used to develop in emacs/jbuilder now I am fully in eclipse. I miss multiple copy buffers and good keyboard shortcuts. To me, the value added by the IDE - autocomplete, extra method, generate getters and setters, find references completel

shudder... talk about being a cog in the machine. Unless you're shooting for an early one, working for retirement just makes no sense. Just becoming steadily more lazy until I die? Whatever it is you are wanting to do after you retire, find

Computer programming is all about declaring abstractions that make computers easier to control. Objects are an intuitive way to model your program by defining logical subsets of data and operations on that data. Classes are define common, r

I started with the data modeling world with RDF, so I do not have a lot of great info here. At some clients I have been to, they worked on a data warehouse schema in a star schema format that acted as a master and in some places the abstrac

I'm not a big fan of OWL either. I think that you can get all the expressibility of OWL and more using rules - in fact the fastest current OWL reasoner, OwlIm, is based on using rules to model owl. A constraint like this would be something

A lot of people (at least at my current employer) would point you to the semantic web and RDF. One of the big focuses is model driven development - defining application state and behavior in an abstract data model (ontology). I think RDF is

I used to be like this in graduate school. I started working out more and more, treated with sleeping pills and now I sleep regularly between 10pm-2am and I'm up 6am-10am. If I have meetings, sometimes I cope on 6 hours of sleep. Have you t

I wish I could read like I used to, but I have a full time job and I'm building a prototype for a startup simultaneously. I usually get through every month or two reading in the same spare moments a lot of people take for reading (:

I like to keep my work life and my personal life separate. If I gave you references of my previous supervisors and a couple colleagues (3-5 references) will those extra references really matter to you? They certainly would to me. I would ha

Most metrics are coming from a diagnostic call on the server being tested (memory use etc) with throughput data (request per second etc) coming from the program testing it. There is only limited data regarding the system collected - memory
