I'd have to agree that if the example code in this article is the worst code you can come up with within a large complex team based project you should count your lucky stars.

I get the gist, yes there is some code that is really really ugly and almost incomprehensible at times (I'm looking at you Perl jk) but on the more granular level of "not ugly" code I feel like beauty is somewhat in the eye of the beholder.

You have my sympathy. Was in a similar situation and tried lots of things... hiding myself in a conference room, headphones, being artificially mean, blocking out parts of my calendar as alone time, telling people I preferred to be left alo

Thank you to the writer of this. This is actually the reason I only take work that allows me to mainly work remotely. I used to work in an open layout as described and I would be interrupted for every little thing resulting in not much ac

“I worked harder than I had to. I gave up time with my kids, with my friends, to do what needed to be done.” You know what one of the absolute best ways you can give back to the world? - By spending time with your children and raising them

In all honesty part of me thinks services like Codecedemy and others are a good thing and part of me thinks they may be a disservice not to their own fault. The problem is when the media starts pumping this stuff with uninformed pieces lik

Sorry but those are a lot of assumptions your making there in the chain of events.

Do both but don't expect that you're going to 'learn to code' and then one day be done in the same sense that one day you will be done with getting your MBA. Coding is very much like learning a real language. You most likely are not going

Well if I personally was in your situation it would be this... Step 1) Go get a tech job at a place with normal hours, doing something you know well with lower stress. Finding this type of job is not incredibly easy but also not incredibly

I pity the soul who as a result of this article goes to codecademy blindly thinking they are going to learn this new lingua franca that will allow them to 'upend traditional campaign dynamics'.

Somewhat unrelated but I've always wondered how many passwords you could crack by making a word dictionary attack out of a user's status updates and comments. The assumption being that most users have a narrow vocabulary and would naturall

I'd say doubtful. There definitely are some network effects that can be leveraged by 'coders' but look while we're all twittering and signing digital petitions you know who is actually exerting real political influence... - Lobbyists who w

Very sad. I think this should be seen as a case for why robotic automation should be encouraged wherever and whenever possible. There tends to be an undertone of fear when we talk about automation - fear that robots and technology are goin

I agree with this article but I have to admit I'm tired of learning programming languages after a number of years in this industry. I've had gigs in just about everything and now I'm purposely restricting my efforts to just a couple differ

That actually is an interesting point. I agree with you pretty much completely from an individualistic perspective - you are responsible for maintaining your own relationships and Facebook is not forcing your relationships onto a digital wa

I find this article completely laughable because the advice seems to be look to hire someone who has all the abilities and drive to start their own company and will do something mind blowing for your company. Well guess what? These candida

Honestly Id rather be a stay at home Dad than a corporate shill at some big corp like Visa. Maybe others enjoy playing politics and all the other management crap but when they eventually send you packing, you'll realize you spent X years o

You have to be really careful about that $10 dollar sandwich depending on how its used. If the company culture is that you all eat together everyday (and probably talk about work stuff) or you take your sandwich back to your desk, the empl

I guess at least they told you about the position change. A friend of mine graduated as an engineer, got a job at a top company and on the day he started they told him that there was an organizational shift in the department and he would h

I would guess this was faked. Look at the video a couple seconds after it lands - seems like there is somebody walking right nearby. Also something sounds off about sending an object up into the upper atmosphere and it landing only 70 yar
