I've only been working for two years so I guess my career has pretty much just started, and I like the path I've (accidentally) taken to learning languages. I met my first real programming language in college, Java, and I still re

I don't work for Yahoo either, but I still wouldn't consider working there even with Marissa Mayer on board. It just has a better CEO but it's still a doomed company. I can't think of a single Yahoo! product that I sincerely believe in and

Can I just say that this is really great feedback? I'm not in a hiring position but I just came from jobhunting. I realized I wouldn't just apply to any startup just to work at a startup--it really matters when you believe in the product. T

I've actually thought of this too but I have a (weird?) issue with maintenance--our country's near the equator, and on really bad summers (which is almost half a year long), it's almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit everyday. I'm not so sure it's
