NYC. I am hoping to find someone junior who works and wants to earn money on the side.

I did say it was only a gig/project. Not sure if they read further into that?

I know it is... I am just at the point where I have to start thinking about securing my future against ageism.

Personally, I would never let anyone borrow my horse, but that is just me. Seriously, though, what is the benefit here?

It's down now, presumably from the message spam.

This is timely. I am planning to spend the next few nights free of my laptop. I usually browse the web and plan massive things in my head, but I haven't written a line of code in my spare time in a week or so. I think I am burned out a

If you are outgoing, you might find some success as a technical recruiter. I have had positive experiences dealing with a recruiter who came from a programming background. It would certainly not hurt you. Otherwise, business analyst, QA, ot

Thank you for sharing. You are absolutely right. I suspect that most of us live in a state of imbalance even if it doesn't appear that way from the outside. We typically neglect some aspect of our lives while giving other aspects more

At my first job after college, I was invited out for drinks with a group of co-workers. Being as shy as I was, I told them I had a big day ahead of me the next day and that I couldn't stay out late. Well, my manager caught wind of this

Canned reports typically require you to have some level of knowledge about your niche. Different users need to see different data in different ways. You might consider taking a look at competing companies to see what they offer in the way o

I used to walk at lunch when I worked at an office. I work from home now and started to do so again this week after noticing how much damage my sedentary life has done to my body. It is nice to have some time to clear my head and hope I kee

Something I didn't do: try making a game using SDL or some other game library before you go all in on your own. From that, you will learn how it can be done, from the public API. It will give you a sense of when things should happen an

Sounds like a great place to be. I would say you should pick someone who you admire most in the group and try to emulate their behavior.

It's a huge annoyance when sites do this. Typically it means that I won't see all of the content and that's never a good user experience.

I have had some good experiences with recruiters, but I give time and preference to the ones that bring me the best opportunities while still considering my career objectives. If I don't like dealing with the recruiter on a personal le

What if you were to use wifi to pinpoint the location instead of actual GPS? Would that make the hardware less bulky? Can you use inductive wireless charging to recharge the device?

Not sure about consolidated collections, but I found the Arc language tutorial to be exactly what I want in a tutorial: concise yet providing good coverage of the topic. http://www.arclanguage.org/tut.txt

"programmers don't usually have girlfriends" Uhhh, no. Life is like taking a trip. It's way more fun when you have someone to enjoy it with you. Your experience is enriched by their experience. That said, being single ha

If you take a look at the help wanted forums at gamedev.net, you see a lot of propositions of this nature, "potential to pay after we get a deal with a publisher". Basically, "work for me for free and if you have to think the

Having grown up in the Bronx, I am actually really grateful. I can tell you some horror stories, but the best part of it was that there was still access to opportunity just an affordable train ride away in Manhattan. Further up in Westchest

Stop worrying about work. It will make you physically sick. Also, stop playing those video games. Start doing stuff instead of reading and talking about it.

I understand. I guess it depends on the level you are hiring at. If you need someone who has specific knowledge then they are probably too expensive, but if you can train someone, then you can probably hire someone with very limited experie

First, congratulations. And good on you for not putting the cart before the horse (quitting before having revenue). Could you hire an employee, part-time, using the revenue you are currently bringing in?

Very good book and the one that got me started on Heinlein. I probably own most of his hard sci-fi books now as a result.
