Yeah, and nobody ever reported about that bag of rice that fell over in china yesterday. It's a media conspiracy!

If you really think that then you have obviously never tried it. Look here for the real solution, which is slightly more involved: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/perfect-3-column.htm

Sorry but that is an understatement. Creating a three column layout is surprisingly hard and completely counter-intuitive and it gets only harder when you want liquid columns. IE is part of the problem but many of the other browsers also

Yeah, same here. During the day I usually only get small things done, if at all. Only after 10pm, sometimes closer to midnight, I really manage to zero in on a task and work it through. Most of the time I'm either done or get tired at aroun

I'm with cstejerean on this issue. Remember the premise of the original article was an idealistic one, it basically said: "Which kind of programmer should you hire when you have a choice". Given the goal is to make money I know which kin

I think your pizza topping selector example is dead on. Because yes, that's your task as a programmer. You deliver a pizza-topping-selector-configurator that has all the flexibilities built in that the client needs and it will be easier t

After a bit more research on the subject I think it's fairly safe to call bullshit on that $200/hour figure. It's either a concerted PR stunt or the app developer is trying to push his market value. While I didn't find much information abou

by moe 18y ago
I'm somewhat doubtful about the original claim of making $200 per hour exactly because of the math that you present. Or rather, $200/hour for how long? Even if all 20mio(?) iphone owners downloaded and used the app once that only amounts to

Didn't I just explain that in my previous post? Ultimately all programming is about "garbage in / garbage out" or, as you put it, input, validate, store, output. Summing up a specific programming domain like that is a bit like saying "archi

Well, unfortunately the population of dog-loving barefeet coders does not entirely overlap with the population of rockstar programmers. But nonetheless our main criterions remain quality of code and ability to communicate in a meaningful wa

That's nonsense, web programming is not (at least not in the general case) about forms and reports. If forms and database queries eat up a large portion of your time then I'd suggest to look into proper frameworks. In fact, that's what web

by moe 18y ago
Well, that depends on your environment ofcourse, but I'd say when you're spending 90% of your time on forms and reports then you're doing something wrong. A smart programmer would probably find or build a framework that allows the consumers

Because you can learn typing without loving it and you can learn mopping without loving it. Not so with programming which is ultimately a creative task. I know plenty of people who went through university and learned the mechanics of progra

I think your first point is invalid. Using either kind of table marks up your content with presentation details. There is no difference between <table><tr><td></td></tr></table> and <div&#

Being in the process of launching an own company I can wholeheartly second both of your points. During our recruiting efforts we noticed that most people are mindboggingly risk averse, up to the point of irrationality. In one sentence they'

What improvement over HTML tables does display:table provide? I see none. It requires the identical nested markup, except that all your tr 's and td 's are called div now. Really, why would anyone even consider using display:table inste

We're in the same boat here and found equity share plus an adequate (although not exactly "market level") honorary a good balance. It lowers the barrier of entry for the would-be partner because he'll at least get something out of it imme

Very vague article, indeed, looks like they're mainly trying to stir some hype for their book. Praising css tables as "the next big thing" is just backwards. Matt Wilcox has a good article about that misconception: http://mattwilcox.net/ar

Idea 3 also sounds like the only one to me that may realistically roll in some money. Idea 1 is technically intriguing but more of an OSS side-project. Idea 2 calls for legal hassles, taxes will eat into your profits and especially the "hig
