I remember being in college and Apple stock was at $7. I had some money in an E-Trade account, but Apple was in such dire straits that I figured a better use for $7 was to buy lunch at Chick-Fil-A. There was a good chance the lunch would

They're not (necessarily) shit. They're just appropriate for a VERY specific purpose. A lot of companies that use them aren't using them right, or are using them in a scenario in which they are overkill. My company (medium

I remember BEGGING my parents to buy me OS/2 2.1 for Windows as my only Christmas present when I was a kid. They'd bought me my own PC (386DX/40, 4MB RAM, etc.) sometime earlier and I was hooked. I wanted to play and experi

As a middle/high schooler during summer breaks, I LIVED for this show. Pre-Internet. Pre-most things. I would watch this religiously. It was so cool to hear what new products and technologies were coming out; what was going on at

At my company (a mid-size, well-known financial firm), H1Bs are definitely slave labor. They're paid CONSIDERABLY less than FTEs, and are generally disposable if they screw up. My former boss once had to fire 3 of them in a single we

What language/platform is Tyk written in/designed for? I'm always curious about what SaaS vendors are using. There's so much variety and different approaches.

I do. I'll certainly reach out to them to aid in getting traction. It always helps to get the word out as much as possible, though.
