This is where the use of "Older" IT people would help. Take all the new ideas and innervation and filter it through the 60 year old IT guy (Knowledge experts). Explain your ideas well with examples. Lesson how that problem has be

One step closer to just Code And Run (CAR). I think CAR is how development will be done in the future. (Literally tomorrow)

Yes - there are many RED FLAGS. One is they skip all the hard parts(Tech Diligence), like security and and are all ready selling to the public.

Steve Jobs rule 4 should come in here somewhere. I agree, the first software produced is just a proof of concept and will be re-written. I even believe the only way to write good code is to build it fast in some intransitive language and t

Very COOL! As a DBA, as fare as I'm concerned this is how databases should be used. NO! application should contain SQL. SQL should ONLY be in an API.

The more a complex system increases in complexity (parts) the more likely some part will fail and the less likely that failure will create a catastrophic failure. (Mark's Law) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable

I have sexdaily too. Can you share your font settings? I've Ubuntu 14.4 and installed OpenDyslexic and like it. (helpful) But in some places the font seems large and it doesn't show everywhere.

When you find your self asking this question think..."Am I naive about the subject" Naive = Not knowing you don't know. Ignorant = Knowing your don't know. Many years in IT (40) has taught me a little base knowledge like

I have 40 year experience in developer, systems and security. The real problem comes from the top. Upper management, CEO, CIO, CFO do understand risk and don't understand technology. To them, security wholes are just bugs in "the

I'm not worried about the "Move Fast and Break Things Often" mentality. This will only last until it kills a much of people. Think code in cars, plans, X-ray machines, pill dispensers etc.

This is a great question. It forces the greater question: Can you "Be Dedicated" and be more than one thing. Silicon valley seems to believe: You can't be a CEO and pregnant. You can't be a lead programmer and old (>

For me it depends on how it is done. If the application just displaces the same letters. No, it's still hard to read. If the app substitues letters that look alike (dpqb) then I can read it just fine.

That's interesting. I once ask a friend who speed reads to read his book to me. He said no because if he did he wouldn't be able to understand it himself. He said he read in ideas or pictures. He explained speed reading was like

I've been told, and I've observed it myself, that about 60+% of dyslexics are males with IQs above 120. Having dyslexia lead to being labeled as retarded. It was because of my interests in model rocketry and teaching myself Calc a
