I've ran across a couple ex-MSFTers that were way too expensive for their skill set. But I still wish I could have hired them, they were smart guys. Aside from that, if you are being interviewed by real tech people, not an HR machine, there

The iPhone was not only a revolution in hardware and experience, the concept of regular software updates that made the phone significantly faster and better was a great feat too. But there's no reason this should only happen every year. Goo

What a joke. Ruby might not be as popular as C or even Perl on TIOBE but that doesn't mean it's dead or dying. The Ruby community is spending a lot of effort on finding elegant and friendly and fun ways of coding. Once you use something lik

OSS hints: Create a repo Post code Accept patches Tag releases Maybe set up bounties for feature requests? The money kind of fucks up typical OSS dev projects, now that I think about it. But there are more than enough OSS hackers out there

I'm not ready to cut and run from Facebook yet, but of all the important tech CEOs I can think of, Zukerberg is easily the one I least trust and respect. He's young, has no other industry success, and is way too eager to try to dominate the

Yikes I remember that story now. Strange that Gizmodo is breaking that story too... I'll grant Chinese factories are more interesting than the Cupertino labs. The most boring explanation here would be that the worker stole the phone, got ca

I have a new theory about life that hasn't let me down yet. It's a variant on Occam's Razor that I call Zoschke's Razor: The most boring explanation is usually the correct one. Let me apply it here... -- Gray has talked to his supervisors,

They're gonna take over the web with a toolbar and checkins? Nope. Compare to Google's web browser, phone platform (Android and Google Voice), operating systems, web platform (App Engine), app marketplaces and fiber. I like Facebook and dep

Terribly biased article... Might as well add my own uninformed opinions :) it's no surprise to me that the release is slipping. Adobe has never been 'agile' with flash player. All accounts say it's a pretty rough code base. I've been doing

Oh, I dig the "trust 100%" part. When I act like a sociopath and dump a job or a woman, trust issues are always a big part of it. I don't trust my boss/girlfriend enough to talk to him/her about what makes me uneasy, and/or do anything to i

30 year old male here... I'm not really happy for feeling this way, but I treat relationships with women not unlike I treat my jobs/career. With my career: I get bored after 1 year, and have never stayed at a company for more than 18 months

Git is decentralized. There's no way Github can affect your ability to deploy. Code can only be pushed there meaning it was written and exists somewhere else. There's also no way to run your own private SSH or git server without paying a

Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder if Apple can and/or has baked trusted computing into the A4 silicon. By controlling this much of the hardware, Apple can make it next to impossible to jailbreak their devices.

Like I said, my boss has the same attitude as you and I understand it and comply with it. It's definitely not a bad rule for a lot of businesses. But I'm not sure what "owning code" means these days. Almost all the software I get paid to wr

Oh, great call. The possibility of an unauthorized person injecting code could be disastrous. Presumably, if you're security conscious, someone reviews all patches before they make it anywhere near shipping. But obviously that is not foolpr

Hell yes I would. My current boss would rather die and take us all with him before letting code out of our network. But he is actually slowly killing me and the other devs each time the svn webserver takes a dive, by having me maintain the
