I feel like its 1994 and all my friends are on AOL, while I enjoy the open internet.

I really, really dig how you think :)

I want more NoSQL options on Heroku. I want CouchDB. I want Voldemort. I want to be able to stuff them directly from Amazon Elastic MapReduce.

I started a new job a couple months ago after having worked double time for months at the last job. I tend to set tough/arbitrary deadlines for myself and then struggle to meet them. I throw myself into every job like its a startup and ge

They should be. If you feel strongly, you're iterating, and you're getting feedback - you're probably onto something :)

by rjurney 17y ago
Yeah, me too. If I feel like I'm on to something, I like to talk concepts and then share demos. If I describe what I want to do in detail, the demo won't get built. Describing it constitutes creative release.

Isn't item 1 a good thing, because after about 100 iterations your idea will probably improve?

The best thing that's ever happened to me with sharing ideas is that someone was inspired by them who could execute on them better than I could. They built it, saving me the trouble. If you share your good ideas, you'll build a network that

Yeah man, you don't get that 'about to crash' feeling when you see the pinwheel in OS X?

You've obviously never engaged in web development. IE6 support is often the most costly part of a project.

You mean the Flash app linked to on the front page of theFWA that took 30 seconds to load and almost crashed Chrome on a late model Macbook Pro 17? Is that the kind of mobile experience you're after?

On the flip side, the best thing you could do for your entrepreneurial career at 18 is to go to Stanford.

Whoops, you're right :/

Whoops, you're right. I mixed him up with Oppenheimer.

He uh... also tried to poison his PhD advisor.

You succinctly describe the problem they are trying to address.

Sir, I suggest that your sense of humor is challenged in this matter and I decline to discuss it further. Woz has a big heart, I take this as a sign the kid is ok. Have a nice day.

Everyone gets the gravity. Its tragicomedy.

Its funny because shit happens, and I'd rather a promising young man not be destroyed over it. Better to address the problem and roll with it rather than crucify the guy. The gravity of the situation, and how simple a mistake it was to ma

That would be pretty cool having him introduce it, then Jobs comes out and takes over, shaking his head and doing the chastising father thing. PR gold, right?

If you don't define your circle as 'workplaces from jobs.perl.org' then you have trouble using Perl ;)

by rjurney 17y ago
Right, and my point was I don't want a Perl job. I've had Perl jobs, from jobs.perl.org. I don't want a PHP job, nobody would work with me in that language either. Most people use Ruby/Python in my circles these days. I find language spe

by rjurney 17y ago
Language is much less important to me than the actual work, and I can use whatever language I want in my job. The problem is there are so few people who code Perl anymore it makes it hard to collaborate if I use Perl.

Great to hear, save a tree :) Waiting for my 3G iPad to ship soon.

I love Perl. I am most fluent in Perl. I can hack things together in Perl using CPAN modules without pausing, without thinking, and I am most efficient using it. I am happiest hacking Perl at 3AM. I hate whats happened to Perl because P
