Whenever I use OSS and run into a bug, I try to fix it. If I can't, I open an issue and try to be as helpful as I can in reproducing it.

No idea. As someone who dabbles in art, I've been inspired by what Zed Shaw has been doing (teaching himself). https://www.flickr.com/photos/zedshaw

Yes. Also all traffic you sent through (meaning a lot of passwords) could have been sent somewhere.

Get it from your employer. It's better and cheaper than what you can get in the market. You are allowed to supplement -- this may or may not make sense, but your final coverage will be a lot cheaper if you start with employer insurance

No. There is a world-wide shortage of competent programmers, and companies are starting to realize that irrelevant biases are hurting them.

Ages 22-32, probably not. 32-42, I would say definitely. Somewhere in between -- it depends.

You don't need a $250k salary to save $1mio in 10 years. My rudimentary calculation shows you need to save ~50k in the first year, get 4% raises, keep expenses constant, and get a 5% return. Bonuses, options, etc are on top of that.

"How to Cook Everything" -- there's also an app. It's just the basic recipe for everything. You can use it as a base to add on to later (or not)

I do all of the cooking in my household, which on average is 5 dinners, 2 breakfasts, even most packed lunches -- desserts, pot-luck obligations, etc. 1. Why do you cook? Is it to save cash or is it recreation? Or something else? I love it.

I judge it by how amenable the code-base is to the kinds of changes I need to make over time. Over and Under resist common changes in different ways.

I made this free tutorial series for PhoneGap/Cordova ( http://app-o-mat.com ) -- it assumes you know HTML/JS (but not too much)

You don't need to be better than anyone, just good enough to get stuff done. If you want to go this route, just spend a few hours every day building on Rails knowledge -- there are junior positions in the US -- I have to believe there

Do you like web programming? Could you get up-to-speed in it again quickly? If so, do that -- there's a world-wide shortage of competent engineers. Resume is irrelevant (and yours is fine anyway) If you need a quick job, talk to your c

I'm only saying they don't have to give a good recommendation. If you send someone to a former boss, and they are neutral, it will be read as a bad recommendation.

I understood you to mean that seniors don't pay taxes on it, which in my parents and in-laws case is true (since they don't go over income thresholds to pay income tax). For seniors that are most affected by this (the ones with l

The CPI definitions change to reflect consumption habits. In any case, CPI definition changes don't affect your perceived inflation or effective return -- it's just trying to measure what you might be feeling. CPI affects Social

Have US Treasuries ever paid more than inflation? Isn't that relationship basically stable -- meaning, when we had higher interest rates, we had higher inflation as well.

IANAL, and this is my 2 cents. Get a good labor lawyer. 1. Did your sign-on bonus state that you had to stay a certain time to keep it. If not, don't give it back. They are hostile (and have already taken hostile actions) and haven&#

One year is good enough for 25% of the equity. A one year commitment is pretty minimal, and you certainly have not earned the full stake yet.

I use goread.io -- I pay for it, but it's free for you to host yourself on AppEngine. It stays free if you stay under AppEngine free limits. It's similar to Google Reader in UI and features.

What about white-labeling? Meaning, you keep the version you have and fork one for them with their branding -- non-exclusive. Perhaps part of the white-labeled app is bank-specific content in addition to branding (a branch locator, for exa

I am not an accountant -- but you should talk to one if this is for a lot of money (or learn to put together the cashflow/depreciation schedule yourself) Leasing is generally more expensive overall, but offers near-term tax deductions

Careers StackOverflow also has tons of remote jobs.

Take some time to look at the remote market. It's very good right now, and many companies pay standardized salaries not based on your local market. I would take a look at Careers.StackOverflow.com and weworkremotely.com. Might take a

Some jobs will require Swift, some Objective-C, some both and some neither. The best Junior jobs will realize they should require neither and hire the best general programmer, which is what I have always done. Senior developers only need O

I worked for a startup that engaged someone like this. Investors didn't like it. Luckily, the contract had an expiry date and an investor that liked us just waited. They were basically useless in helping us get anywhere with funding.

Someone once told me (but, I don't know if it's true) that you need the VP title to be able to sign off on trades, which is essentially a contract. That started a culture of proliferating the VP title.
