I'd agree that I find the inheritance model JS's primary faltering. I really wish they had decided to follow the same ECMAScript standard that Actionscript 3 followed in that I find AS3 to essentially just be Javascript with some simple an

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Ive had a very similar thing happen with a small company a couple years ago - I submitted the verified correct solution and got a rejection letter to not come in for an in-person because I didn't style m

How about instead a caffeine drip put into everyone's arm when they get into the office in the morning? Seriously though - people need to move around... I don't think there is a need to optimize coffee breaks. If people don't have breaks

Yeah I think in many cases its all a matter of perspective. You can look at any Google product, analyze it long enough and then understand how it will lead to a stronger advertising business model for them. On the other hand you can look

That functionality -- especially in regard to the news tab -- drives me nuts. Over and over I click the top news tab forgetting I have to click the link on the side and lose the current context of my search. At first I just assumed it was

You'll probably need to be a bit more specific about your situation to get meaningful responses.

I feel like this is a part of the larger conversation of how the dynamics of Silicon Valley are changing (at least from my insulated perspective). I'm not going to sit in my arm chair and smatter Silicon Valley but I enjoyed and respected

Honestly highly unlikely unless the candidate is strong in unrelated categories. In essence a candidate putting down they went through Codeacademy is going to count for very little on a resume from my perspective. I'd view it the same as

This will make you fantastic at competing with and at the level of outsourced sweatshops. One of the huge differences I've found between US/European programmers and 'outsourced teams' is the former knows problem solving better than syntax

12% after taxes is an incredibly difficult return to achieve (you're talking around an 18% return y-o-y). If someone promises you this rate of return make sure the fund manager's last name isn't Madoff. You are much better off paying down

I usually rip the bandaid off as fast as possible once I'm sure it has to come off. Be honest with him - in the long run you'll both be better off.

Well this may not be the most tangible advice but I'd consider trying to consolidate your efforts where you can identify them. Is there anything having to do with your current situation that you could integrate/leverage with your desired d

I thought this was highly entertaining - made me laugh many times over. Ever consider shipping this off to This American Life or The Moth or something along those lines?

Thats fine but I think many are misinterpreting what occurs upon acquirement of a company. The assets get broken up and each asset is analyzed to decipher how it should be put to use or disposed of for the company. Some person or work gro

I'm sure Google knows what they are doing. They have a competitor and were able to obtain a domain name that in some cases will direct people away from DuckDuckGo and to Google. Yes its seemingly evil but its competition. Yes, yes but it

You may be able to get a sense of the salary ranges by looking at Glassdoor.com and browsing through the salaries posted for Cisco. If I was in your position and you feel comfortable doing it, I'd play your current employer against Cisco b

I think it should be pointed out that both OS X and Android are based upon Linux. That point probably makes the discussion about who gives more to who a lot more complex.

Ah yes... and everybody thought Google was immune to the tech company lifecycle. My guess is this is where the downslide begins (which will probably be decades for a company of Google's size). I've seen this play out in small and large com

Cause they all make 100k also - you'll laugh at this until you realize its true. Well I suppose not everyone like fast food workers but in all seriousness there are a bunch of menial jobs in SF that pay 75 - 100k. Usually union protected g

Actually I look at some of these breakdowns for large corps. You're pretty much spot on with your number. 100k employee is usually a line item at around 160k. Obviously depends on the org and role but thats a very safe average.

Thats part of the 'tragedy' of it (Ok making over a 100k isn't a tragedy) but being that SV is so tech worker heavy the costs shoot up and quickly eat into the salary gains. If you want to see hockey stick growth look at the rising cost of
