In my experience, companies that use years of experience as a candidate filter are not companies you would want to work for. Number of years of experience is easy to determine, but pretty much useless in determining someone's skill. What it

"At some point, you will need to extract a subset of the relational data and represent it using your application's in-memory model." ...and that is where you have just created an ORM. You don't need a library to be using an ORM. Change 'ext

Which is creating a false dichotomy. Assuming your are using some OO language then you will have to, at some point, turn the relational data into objects. At that point you are always creating an ORM. There is a really interesting post abou

Look at your own experience, the building phase in the design phase. We will (almost) never get a complete spec before hand because people are in charge and people change their minds. The sad reality is that building something with develope

There is a dark side to the separation of concerns. Lack of understanding. One person doing three jobs can fully understand what choices make the overal work more efficient. One DBA, one sysadmin and one dev only have direct insight into th

Games programming is probably a bad example because many people follow their passion for gaming into an industry that does not allow many to contribute creatively. If you are hired to make the game engine or tools, few are going to care tha

Do something you love is referring to creative passions. Find something creative you love to do and make it your profession. Think of the people making the games you enjoy and how many of them must enjoy what they do because of the obvious

This and debugging are my two biggest gripes about CoffeeScript. If you are saying this, then you probably never learned JavaScript to the extent that would be required to write what you are writing in CoffeeScript. Maybe that is a good thi

.NET magic is generally limiting things down so that happy path works and edge cases are expensive. Other platforms do a much better job of this because they start on an edge and make that run through happy path by convention. I can't speak

I don't think the point is that the market will shift all to tablets. It is more that, given an upbringing within a "consumer" household. The individuals there will have little opportunity to experience and gain familiarity with, something

What one person calls carelessness, another would say freeing up the time to consider other things. Such as, the code actually doing what it needs to. We are limited beings and can only keep so much in our heads at one time. If I have to re

Very true. However, if you are going to pick and choose. Please, please, please, start with communication. Unsurprisingly, I don't know what to build for you if you can't tell me what you need. Face to face communication is the cheapest, mo

I do not assume such. However, if you look at the current US congressional seats, you will see only those two organizations. Correct me if I am wrong, but that seems fair to say that despite whatever efforts other political parties are maki

I think a big part of it is also the dead weight that accumulates with older technologies. Sometimes it is a person just making a decision for the stability of their household or because they've been at it so long it is all they know. Whate

I prefer facing one another at a long table. I probably don't need to see your screen to fix your issue and if I do, I'm coming over to sit with you for a few minutes. Most likely, seeing your face and answering your question is enough. Les

That is actually quite specific. Try thinking of patenting the ability to move objects via reducing the coefficient of friction. Not even specifying that you are using a wheel or what a wheel is.

The skype app will run indefinitely in the background, killing your battery much sooner than normal. Killing it from the multi-tasking list does prevent this. It is the only app that I am aware of where this makes any difference.
