I had long graduated by the time Occupy started. But yes, it just wasn't worth it.

I still remember the day my father pulled me aside and told me in secret (my mom would have freaked out) that we couldn't really afford college. He recommended that I stayed close to home and to go to a local school, which I did for 4+

That's sort of the Catch-22. A guy simply can't ask a girl he likes out. A girl who's unqualified feels slighted because a guy is interested in her. What has this world come to?

Asians from poor neighborhoods still are because they're Asian. And if they are male, then they are even more discriminated against than Asian women who are both "female" and "Asian". Basically Asian in general rega

Something similar happened to me years ago. I later learned the hiring manager had left. But when they contacted me, I had already moved on.

You sound a lot like programmers I constantly run in to who claim to have 10+ years of experience and rate themselves a 10 out of 10 on everything known to man. But yet can't land a full time job and just coast from freelance to freela

It's negative when people start to pigeonhole you and tell you you can't do certain things because you're not suppose to know how.

I get this a lot. I have a Masters and several minors in nothing but Liberal Arts. But I work in CS at a fairly high level. It just blows people mind who have a hard time seeing how they can possibly ever relate to one another. To me they&#

Most of the well known companies in SF are not necessarily tech companies. They make small apps, games, or websites. Some of the companies include Zynga, Twitter, Salesforce, PG&E, Firefox and many of them do not offer $200K for mid-lev

I've never seen base salaries in the Bay Area at $140-$160k. It's more along the lines of $120k-140k on average for well known companies. The ones you've never heard of barely crack $120K.

Why not all three? If you'e not fully employed, you have the freedom to pick an choose. I'd try to land an internship first. The benefits of actually having a 9-5 job will help you "level up" to future employers. Sometim

Angular is a JS framework, React is more of a UI tool. Why not use both?

I actually like this a lot and think with more dev time it could be a really competitive product.

You're doing it now by posting! I think in some ways most engineers are a little introverted. Sometimes you just have to muster up the energy to start a conversation. Find people you're comfortable with and go from there.

Sorry to here about what happened, but when one door closes another will open! We're hiring senior/mid JS developers (Angular specifically) out in sunny San Francisco. If you want to relocate please send an email to Zak.Brown [at]
