That's up to you and your employer. Edit: Worth pointing out that it's not really a Facebook account in the typical sense. You can have an FB@Work account without having an FB account, though it seems you can also use your FB acco

I'm also interested in how he's travelling the world while doing consulting work. Travelling (for leisure) and working don't go well together in my experience, curious how he's pulling it off (so I can try too).

When I first started doing code review, there was a similar post on HN. I thought it was a good idea and tried to use a checklist, but a lot of the time you skip over items because they don't apply. And as you do more code review you g

That's a possibility worth exploring, especially with services like https://assembly.com popping up. Starting a company is still a huge risk compared to being an employee though, and a good employee might not make a good en

So do I, and I bet Netflix does too. But I imagine it's not up to them to decide. They have to comply with licensing restrictions.

For those wondering what it is: a public news site (feed reader/aggregator) for Ruby. The planet subscriptions (feed lists) are split into seven sections (sub planets), that is, 1) Blog Postings, Articles, etc. 2) Official Ruby, JRuby

Really? I've had the opposite experience. Maybe it's just the type of communities I hang around, but Ruby seems to have a lot of mindshare right now.

That seems to be part of their motivation. From a recent interview published at http://www.dailydot.com/technology/lizard-squad-hackers “Microsoft and Sony are fucking retarded, literally monkeys behind computers,” Om

Sounds about right. Coming from a Python background to Ruby, I think there's more to it though. For example, Ruby version managers such as rvm and rbenv help a lot with keeping the community moving forward. Python has virtualenv but it

Would you mind explaining more about how you find and recruit fellow-minded collaborators and eventually delegate tasks to them?

For sure. This "Who's Using Ada?" list that was posted gives a good overview for what kind of applications it's used for. You'll see many where lives are on the line (be it for good or bad).

Not to berate this service (I think it's a cool use of the data), but I have difficulty perceiving its value. I see this saving you ~15 minutes if there's a delay. A big deal if you have an interview or business meeting, but does

I would have enjoyed seeing a list like this in university where we had the option to learn Ada for a software engineering course. Ada was mandated to be used for military applications but became largely irrelevant for commercial applicatio

Please stop downvoting higherpurpose for being curious and asking a question like this. We all lack knowledge in different areas, that shouldn't prevent us from positively participating because we fear repercussions.

I'm in the process of switching from vim to atom as my primary editor. Loving atom so far. The command palette makes it easy to be productive when you don't know the shortcuts yet, and it's also a very hackable editor. I&#x27
