   In this instance, identification of the individual VC responsible for this specific instance of The Lie is not important. Leaving him unnamed helps us abstract out the pattern to its most condensed brown residue, so we can recognize it on

    I really enjoyed that. I am no MBA but a programmer who found himself as lead dev for a retail chain. Boss, owner, is MBA and we're pretty much learning off of each other.

    Meh. I had two jobs in Australia, and in both places people would call everyone at work to look at funny porn they have been forwarded. Men & women.

    You don't have to dick with sub-par literature. Prof Krishnamurthi's 1st-rate book is already available for free. It's Essentials of Programming Languages-like but much more approachable. http://www.cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Books/Prog

    Software developer community is over-served when it comes to tools and automation. Please, just branch out and help people who aren't programmers. This goes to everyone of you HNers.

    I'm one of those programmers that can't ignore the implementation language. I don't do 2nd-class languages without understanding their host environment fully.

    Play doesn't use xml for configuration. It has a simple property file. So, none.

    Hibernate. I learned JPA months after I wrote most of the apps. What can I say, growing pains. But it's understandable given the size of our project.

    We use Play at work. It's the only reason I use an Algol dialect after 10 years of writing Lisps. It and Android, to be frank. I believe we have one of the largest Play code bases. And I still enjoy it. I picked it out of a line up, I teste

    I'm reading this article while Eclipse restarts after I shutdown the app because it ran out of PermGen space. I ran web apps that serviced 10x more users off of a 512 meg VPS with SBCL :-| Anybody up for a sword-fight? jousting?
