Agreed on the link bait title, pretty sure you misused "synecdochic". Synecdoche is like metaphor, but the former I've only seen used to explicitly refer to figures of speech, like a simile, while the latter is used interchangeably with "s

But that doesn't make sense - in the consulting example you would still value your time at $200/hour, you'd just be at a $1000/hour wage. That fits with startups, where you value your time at x, and are looking for at 5x exit when then thin

The numbers are computed based on the number of people who start a business any given month. I find it slightly unlikely that a lot of 60 year old attorneys or physicians are suddenly starting new practices. More likely they're just unemplo

In the linked report, the significant change is that the 45-54 group has overtaken both the 35-44 group and the 55-64 group since 2007, but there is pretty regular fluctuation so I wouldn't read too much into it. More interesting is that t

Surely that's worth a few hours of your time. At the very least it's worth more than arguing on the internet about how you don't need to know it. That's a great point. Regarding your interview question, the kind of optimizat

Very useful information, but this is way overkill for what "every programmer should know". Every programmer should have a basic understanding of latencies. This is slightly out of date but still gives an idea of relative latencies: http://

We need a corollary to Godwin's law for references to Steve Jobs. Together they would constitute the 'gambler's ruin' of online discussion forums.

The first list includes books that professionals read 2+years into their careers, the latter is a list of books that higher-level students read while doing an undergrad or masters degree. I'm guessing people lie about the latter because:

Little bit of a strawman argument here regarding early employees taking on equivalent risk - I don't know anyone who believes that, other than the situation where early employees are unpaid and the 'product' is just a slide deck. As for how

I take "Amazon RDS" being in the top 6 as a sign that these numbers are pretty worthless - the whole point of RDS is that it's easier to set-up and administer than a do-it-yourself install.
