Maybe I misunderstand but how can being forced to move your wrist cause strain? Your wrist moves all the time in day to day activities. If anything I would think keeping your wrist in the same position too long would cause strain, especiall

I'm curious to know how others deal with meaning in the context of their jobs. I certainly live for things outside of work, but at the same time work is a necessity to survive. How do you balance how much time you devote to work when y

I think having children may be fundamentally selfish, but not raising children.

This is the book that was used when I was an undergrad. http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Theory-Computation-Michae... It is also used for the graduate course.

Why is there no hope for this world? Less people using C/C++ just means less security vulnerabilities as far as I can tell. Not entirely sure why C# is listed but not Java here.

Why are FE devs paid lower? I'm not a FE dev but I don't see why they deserve any less..

Mostly because I didn't want to spend my parents' money on it when I felt I had learned enough to get a job. I also decided I wanted to double major in Math but since it was just for myself I didn't feel like it was fair to m

I'm in a similar position. Also 24, and didn't finish college. I haven't had trouble getting jobs, but I still have to answer the "So why didn't you finish school" question no matter where I apply. I ended up j

I'd bet my money against Amazon following. Amazon already lags behind the rest of the industry in terms of benefits. Employee happiness isn't really one of their values. "Frugality" on the other hand, is. Just an opinion

Excuse me if I just don't fully comprehend your argument, but isn't FOSS an orthogonal issue to this? After all, even if software is open source, that doesn't stop it from mining your data. You just know that they are doing s

Are most games on OS X too? The last time I checked the majority of games were not on Linux.

Using delivery cars would cause a lot of traffic in densely populated areas. Cars are presumably also more expensive than drones. On the other hand, I suppose a car could do more than one delivery at a time whereas a drone would be more lim

"I’d guess that it took about 10 times as much work to create my Haskell-based cover tree than it would have taken to create a similar C-based implementation. (I’m roughly as proficient in each language.)" Interesting since I woul

I think many other people have posted good advice on how to get ready. I just want to second the other post that recommends against preparing for it. When you interviewed and got hired they knew your qualifications and knew you might not kn

People in industry seem to be "excited" about everything nowadays. The word is completely overused

Have you considered the idea that you are still learning but just not things that you care about/appreciate? When I left school and started working I also felt like I wasn't learning, but when I sat down to think about it, I actua

Maybe my experience is unusual but I've found the opposite to be true. Since leaving school I have very rarely had to use theory or refer back to it. I still learn more but that's only because I find it interesting and I only do i

Is CS really more focused on hardware? In my experience that hasn't been the case or at least a key distinction. I've found CS has more focus on theory and algorithms where SE is more about dealing with code base complexity.

Is Bill Gates really an example of what the person described? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think his motivation for working or making money was to donate it. It seems like he decided after accumulating his wealth that he sh

I find that exercise really helps me deal with stress and take a step back. I don't think it has anything to do with "brogrammers" at all.

I also found it a bit strange but I think it affects your overall impression of the company and how they treat their employees.

I've worked in both (Not SF necessarily but San Jose). San Jose definitely has way more start ups to choose from. I don't really know what you're looking for, but if I found an equally good job in both areas, I would rather s

I'd argue that if we didn't try to pretend people were robots at work and tried to ensure everyone was happy, things would be done even better than they are now. It's certainly the case that people show up to work even when t

Someone else smarter than I am should tell you how to deal with this issue. I just wanted to say that having been in a similar situation and then starting work, I can tell you are going to be a great developer just because you care. From al

I guess I'm just still too young, naive, and perhaps stupid, but I disagree with this idea strongly. It certainly is true that most places (in the US at least) treat work like work and not like therapy. Maybe you're right and work

Is there really anything wrong with the fact that some people don't care to achieve anything more than what's required of them at their job? I think it's unfortunate that you're in an environment you don't enjoy, an

Clearly it's not a universal truth because at least from what you say, it sounds like you don't like them. On the other hand, I'll have to say you're definitely wrong to say people don't look forward to them. I have

I have many friends who are so wealthy they could easily live off their family's money for several generations. There are some who don't want to depend on their parents and actually make something of themselves. Of course there ar
