At Starbucks, it is more expensive to hire people to stand around making coffee all day than it is to purchase and roast the coffee beans. This is easily recognizable by anyone who knows how to make coffee themselves. The majority of the mo

I have seen something similar happen to a co-worker who was starting at the same time as me at a new job. When he was hired, he was promised a management position with a higher salary than other developers, including myself. After working a

This game would be much more punishing if it did not keep repeating the same piece over and over again. The way that a piece would repeat itself until just before a line is cleared makes the game's AI way too obvious.

There is definitely a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sort of relationship to social networking. Once upon a time I used MySpace, and found all the info I would get on it completely useless. So I stopped using MySpace. Within the la

Why hasn't Pair Programming extended itself beyond just programming? What about something like "Pair Accounting"? "Pair Book Writing"? I don't see anyone arguing that the cubicle office is fundamentally flawed, except for in cases where peo

The idea that each feature in a software package costs $50 to develop is, of course, nonsense. But... I've worked for a couple of companies that don't allow their developers (such as myself) to talk directly to their clients because any fea
