If you were linked to them in any significant way, wouldn't you already know this? I'm sure his co-founders know he's inexperienced, investors certainly should, so it's probably not a surprise to any of them. I do appreciate the humility an

Ability to choose, within reason, where I work. Want to work from home today? No problem. Want to take Friday off but work part of Saturday and Sunday? Sure thing. Essentially that translates into trust.

I used to have the same fear about Linux, command line, vim, etc. You sound competent, I suspect the learning curve will be a lot less than you fear it will be.

This is a really good article for developers to transition into salesmen. When I first started selling my software and services, I ran into the problem of: "What if they get mad because component X doesn't work like they thought it did and

Sure, you're right. I'm sorry if I implied smart people write perfect code, they don't either, but I'll prefer their code.

If you've ever dealt with code that Gets Things Done but is not Smart, you'll know why it's in the title. There are a million ways to skin a cat with programming, and you can pick a stupid(er) way or a smart(er) way. I'd much rather work wi

That's what I was wondering too. My business name is Leftnode Software, my domain is leftnode.com, I've gone by the moniker leftnode for a while now (from before node.js development started, I believe). I hope that was just a typo in their

Yeah, and there have been numerous studies showing that extended work weeks reduce productivity overall as well. I don't mind putting in an extra few hours to get a new feature out the door; I'm not going to work 60 hour weeks without addit

>> You might as well say, "I intend to deliver 40 hours of my time for 40 hours of pay. If you need extra help, ask someone else. Big turnoff. What's wrong with that? If I'm being hired on with a salary, that's my expectation. They

That's the gist of it. It should point out how fucked up the patent system in the US is. Also, it was originally patented in 1992, and it's just now being legislated with. What I imagine happened is some programmers at a now defunct compa

This is great for someone like me. It's silly to spend the full amount for a programmer like me who wants to use Photoshop for touching up images and website graphics, but I'd gladly pay on a month to month basis.

It makes me happy that a company that so blatantly laughed in the face of one of their competitors (Netflix) is now being sold on the chopping block for pennies on the dollar. Really makes Reed Hastings look like a visionary.
