I'm in my 50's and have been coding since the 70's and still feel like my skills have not yet peaked. I learn new stuff every week. I am continually exploring and learning new stuff. There is a _lot_ to this programming st

I would have believed the original meaning of "conservative" was someone who wanted to keep things they way they are. Advocates for the status quo, which is good enough. Usually it means they are relatively risk averse. Changin

I have always thought of it through the concept of "political capital". In order to be an effective politician you have to get other people to go along with you. Lots of other people. You can usually get away with doing somethi

90% of what I do when I program is try to figure out what the heck the business people meant. Ambiguous and conflicting requirements, vague ideas, and best guesses as to the direction to take the product(s) are going to be hard to overcome

They have effectively wiped out all Ash trees around central Ohio. Once these beautiful trees were 20 - 25% of our forest, tree lines, and even shade for parking lots. Now they are all gone. You can really notice it in areas where they h

At one place I worked we went in on a weekend and rearranged all of the cubicles in our work area to better suit our work style and needs. (moved openings, created a central collaboration area, etc) Our boss was ok with it because he said

I've been thinking about the 4D visualization problem and I am becoming increasingly convinced we can develop some cool tools to help wrap our mind around it using VR goggles. There are two ways to draw a 3D object in 2D. One is to dr

The web interfaces for Google Compute Engine/Disks/Networking are much more intuitive. The pricing calculator is built right in. And - they offer free consulting services to help you migrate out of AWS. We are moving out of AWS

I could see Mitsubishi scooping them up before Ford would. Mitsubishi is already developing electric vehicles, has a strong global manufacturing base, and could use the extra presence in the US. Ford is more about pickup trucks than anyth

Open discourse and debate are how new ideas emerge and either flourish or return to obscurity. The "chaos" you fear is the forge for the future. Without advances in science, political thought, and technology, we will implode from
