I'm pretty sure he meant web devs, not plugin devs.

He did say professional hardship, it's not wildly unreasonable.

"allowing you to shine to recruiters at Google, Yahoo and Facebook" Wait, Yahoo? People still try to get hired there?

Stripe has bugs sometimes. I've personally submitted at least 5 that were verified by them as bugs, across all areas of their project. Most recently, they started generating phantom "subscription updated" events with nothing

I see a lot of good points here I otherwise would have made but: 1) "Death metal" is surprisingly regional. This article is very American-centric, as European death metal generally isn't not inspired by violence in the same w

You can hire a consulting firm. There are some great ones and some not so great ones. If you are willing to work with remote developers, you can find some good ones. Disclaimer: I work at one of what I would consider the "great" o

I pass them down to my kids as iPod Touches. Then I mostly forget about the previous generation. I'm hesitant to replace their iPhone 6's with our iPhone 7's. It doesn't feel like an upgrade. Our 7's have had issues

Dropbox doesn't feel that small or "single purpose" to me anymore.

Remote work is dramatically different for different people. For me, it means I'm home with my family, and in 6+ years of doing it I've not once had the urge to go into an office for any reason, much less socialization.

"The financial crisis remains the most influential event of the 21st century." Uh... I think 9/11 may disagree. The financial crisis didn't spawn wars and ISIL.

The market size been growing too, while distribution costs have dropped to next to nothing. Games used to be physical cartridges, after all.

These games aren't lower in price. Freemium games may have that aspect, but the games in the article are all AAA $60+ games with deluxe editions for $80 or over $100, and still have loot boxes .

It should appear in your "Purchased" list in that case.

Good question. I used to sell AS/400's, which aren't quite mainframes, but fit the typical picture in your head (green screen, dot-matrix printers, high price tags and all that). 1) Stability. That stuff changes VERY rarely,

And yet, my wife and I downloaded our personal data from Facebook for reasons very different than privacy (legal evidence stuff), so that's a broad brush.

Agreed, I wouldn't consider doing a full day interview, unless I was looking to relocate and wanted to fit the whole process into a single day. As a regular job offer, it's absurd.

I know it's impossible, but I legit hope the microphone jack comes back... Not looking forward to handing my 7's over to my kids to use as iPods and having to deal with stupid dongles. I may have them just keep their 6's.

EVE progression is pretty unlike other MMOs. On one hand, you can't really speed it up, it just kind of plods along. On the other, even brand new players are useful . For instance, in most MMOs, a lower level character has no chance a
