I don't know for Java (luckily haven't been using it much) but for C I dislike typedefs. I need to know what data I'm working with. A typedef hides that information from me behind a shiny but uninformative name.

Ah Germany - where I just gave up applying for jobs. "Oh, yeah, I see - you've got 10 years of experience. But what's that? You don't have a diploma? Nor a 'Ausbildung'? Sorry, in this case I just won't look at your prior work - no matter h

I guess most of us started with too low prices. Me too, and I was cursing that shitty job. Until some time later I realized that it was worth it - I learned a lot from my first job. Not only about pricing too low but also about handling dif

Reminds me how once a customer came to me and needed his elance-made-in-russia-iphone-app fixed because it "mysteriously" crashed since apple "broke it" with the new iOS version. (ASAP!) I took a look at the code and ... you know what happe

Heh, I've also got problems with estimating the end price. Mostly I think: WTF?! I can't charge that much for this simple work. I always forget that the "simple work" is black magic to most of my clients.

Yeah, but it doesn't mean the desktop war was lost/won. Desktops are the niche of professional (or power) users. Tablets are where the web will point - because tablets (and phones) will be how the casual user will "compute" in the future. S

I'm with you on this one - but this is a pretty unpopular opinion on "Hacker" News. Just let the kids call themselves hackers if it makes them feel better. It's a pretty fine idiot filter, too. If someone introduces himself as a hacker you

> We don't need humor everywhere on the net Yeah, but maybe humor is the wrong term. I know that many of my friends (after they got some warning mails from facebook about profanity, etc) now watch out what they post and say on facebook.

Yes, this is my concern too. I had no problems with giving Disqus access to my twitter account. But I won't use facebook comments.
