Are salaries actually rising so much ? From survey below, they've risen 2.3% last year, 2.1% the year before ... my memory of other surveys is similar ... doesn't even seem to be rising faster in SV ... ( http://www.comp

I'm not sure what you consider google 'projects'; from what I heard, a lot of their 'sysadmin' type of scripting is in python (probably moving to go now)

You don't have to go there; especially not the whole 4 years; just googled Illinois state is more like $6500, and community colleges are way cheaper -- and you can use CLEP too! (OTOH, CS at UIUC would look really coll on the resume, s

Porque no los dos ? (said in annoying taco-commercial voice) If you can truly get a 60-80K job, then do it and go to school part-time; if you prefer, go to college full-time, and work part-time; if you make 30K, then you can attend college

Have you tried Powershell ? It is pretty nice. If I didn't have 20 years experience with bash, I think I'd even prefer it to it.

And it may also have to do with your definition of 'dockworker' ; Dell's mom and dad were a stockbrocker and an orthodontist; Clinton was working-class but not poor; same with Jobs (he was adopted at birth, dad was a mechanic

Are you seriously saying the system has become consistently worse since the 70's ? In what respects ? I think we have (in the USA) a better safety net (especially now with Obamacare), a lot more respect for gays, a lot less racism, a l

Marginally ? Have you seen anarchy ? You get warlords, feudalism, that kind of stuff (see Somalia). I'm assuming the writer lives in the US; I think he greatly exaggerates the issues; the system works; most people live with enough food

It is possible; however, it is a LOT easier with a CS degree (it is easier with a non-tech degree than without a degree at all :). Chances are a degree will also help later, when getting better jobs. You will see many comments of people w

Would they be able to operate on folders and subfolders recursively ? That's tree traversal, and important for devops ... maybe you're talking about doing it in context vs out of context ? or your devops are mostly sysadmins ?

Interesting, especially since I've just started working for Microsoft, in Bing Ads, and a big factor in deciding to come was the interview process. The phone interview involved writing code in a shared environment, the in-person interv

A small over-generalization, don't you think ? Most people go to college to BOTH learn and get a credential. You can learn almost everything on your own, but it is usually easier to do it in an organized setting (curriculum, peers, tea

The real problem is IDEs; the JVM is also a resource hog; however, you can run lots of server software on small hardware; heck, my RaspberryPi runs mysql, postgresql and apache (and PHP), plus a django app, and has only 256MB RAM; it's

I disagree; I see two problems with netbooks: 1. People were expecting a laptop; they are not; however, they're decent computers (don't do video, don't run VMs ... :), and portability and price are really nice. 2. Laptops got

Sort-of, but you still have netbooks; I have an old netbook as my developer computer ! it has an Atom, which is slow, 2GB RAM, and an SSD; I dual-boot windows and Linux; can run Visual Studio Express, and of course, all Linux stuff (I even
