Holding your self to unattainably high standards is a common factor in developing a burn-out, so I'd guess that's what's happening here.

My most valuable two questions have always been "What part of the stack you're working with do you understand best? Can you explain to me how it works?" and "What is the most complex modification/extension of the stack you've ever done? Can

We were talking about swimming against the stream or not. In those two languages the author's preferred programming style would be considered going with the stream. ES6 sounds great since it would offer the best of both worlds, but it's goi

You might like working in GWT or Dart better then. I for one quite like being able to mix in other objects but exclude some properties/methods while still understanding what's actually happening under the hood without needing a Haskell-leve

I still prefer 'VSRP - very short reply preferred' because it's sooo close to RSVP.

Don't forget the tools that would (help to) extract a 'proper app' from your average corporate Excel sheet. I'm pretty sure there's a huge opportunity there ...

Good point. I once spent three months developing a highly optimized dynamically loading Google Maps point & line overlay library capable of smoothly scrolling through thousands of elements with hundreds on screen on 10 year old single-c

Just like depression (oversimplified) is being fed up with life, ADD is being bored with life. Your environment has created artificial boundaries that prevent you from doing what interests you, hence said boredom. Get into the hyper-focus a

Yup. If you become good at corporate politics, you become someone who's good at corporate politics. It's the first time I really understood the whole 'if you stare into the abyss, it also stares into you' thing. It's a bit like martial arts

You could also consider having a limit of 1 or 2 private projects and make all the others public. If you give public mockups a publicly accessible page and create a base representation that is indexable by Google, it might be an interesting

Looking forward to it. Great work on the responsiveness of large projects by the way! It runs much smoother now than it used.

Same here. I spent several minutes in awe at the audacity to charge $999 per platform per developer per month for this.

Finally! These guys rock. I prototyped our startup's entire user flow with Moqups and I couldn't be happier ... their way of configuring elements from a plain textfield with a Markdown-inspired philosophy works really well for me. I literal

This board should deliver about 90 GFLOPS of performance, or — in terms PC users understand — about the same horse-power as a 45GHz CPU. That doesn't seem too outrageous to me. Edit: They state the real fact and then give another

Can anybody tell me what NPM does that e.g. Maven / CPAN / Gems e.a. don't? I haven't seen anything in NPM so far that goes beyond Maven's capabilities so I'm really curious what NPM's big advantage is.

I didn't read that much of a value judgement into it. It seems more like he's just managing expectations by explaining that he wouldn't do it that way.

I've been following the advice of another front-page story (don't follow the news) for a while now so I'm really curious which / how EU governments are complicit in this. Do you have some pointers for more information on that?

I'm not nearly as interested in the story of eighteen@gmail.com as I would be in the story of john@doe.com. :)

Love it. Where can I find the source code for this nifty little utility so that I can add JVM/Clojure support?

Your comment isn't condescending at all; re-reading mine it might actually have across as such. I think we're actually talking about different degrees of transgressions. I guess I wanted to say that if you feel the behaviour is too far out

I guess it also depends on what kind of person you are. I experienced something like this recently and I did stand up for myself. It did cost several people I cared about their jobs, it didn't cause the company to change much and the person

These managers are essentially adult versions of bullies and you should deal with them accordingly. Within a company there are two options: 1) This is considered unacceptable behaviour but it has gone undetected so far. 2) This is considere

Hey there. The book looks pretty impressive! I'd really get someone to do at least a little bit of design on the landing page though. There are mostly just basic typography and spacing issues, but it can make a big difference in how profess

Asperger isn't a binary diagnosis; it's more of a continuum. The skills that make you a good programmer place you a little further out on that continuum almost by definition. [1] Therefore the real question is: Do you feel you would benefit

Keep in mind though that since Europe has virtually no hiring-at-will the unemployment rate is actually a lagging indicator.

Indeed. It's very important to never forget the reality check agencies want you to forget about: You are paying the agency fees. If they deliver less value than what you pay them, dump them.

That reduced price is for the first month only I'm afraid... Still a great deal though :)

I'm running my micro-VPS on TransIP which offers 1GB mem, 50GB HD, 1TB traffic for €10/month. It's not the same as $10 a month but it's less than $20 and their support is excellent (5+ year customer, but more for their excellent DNS managem

I can't comment on their VPS / disk space offering, but I've been a customer of TransIP for well over 5 years now and their support is stellar. Disclaimer: They're Dutch and so am I, so you should factor national pride into this endorsement
