I knew a guy who did a year-long, very expensive program in "IT". He said that they did "some" programming, and by the end reported that they were "just getting into arrays". So...yeah.... if people like that w

Cool! I never thought of that! Will it be noticeably faster than my current (tuned) Apache setup?

Any opinions on Nginx being more difficult to setup/run than Apache? I'm considering switching, but I really have enough overhead to deal with!

Cool! I was actually thinking of trying to make something exactly like this to as a learn-Javascript project. Could you talk about how you made this a little? Really appreciate it.

fantastic post @oxplot! That chart of time vs motivation is unbelievably true.

I definitely didn't have a bad experience with Python. I didn't really spend much time with it. But by the time I got to Python, I'd used Ruby a fair bit, and it just didn't feel as comfortable. Maybe things would have w

Hey all. Terry here — the OP. Too bad I never got to chime in at all over the weekend. A 3 month old really takes up a lot of your free time! I've definitely got enough to justify a followup post, but in the meantime, I'll address

In Canada, depending on the province you're in, everyone gets about 9-13 days of stat holidays. On top of that, the typical amount of actual vacation time in private industry is 2 weeks, in government about 3 weeks. That amount of time

Is it just me or do the videos not have playback controls? Seems absurd not to be able to scrub through these.

Solid advice. It's taken me years of bouncing around just like that, but it's finally sinking in. =)

As someone in what feels like your exact same boat—though a bit older— I'd say just pick one. It makes the most sense to me, personally, to pick Python or Ruby or PHP (Laravel or similar) and learn how to actually program. I think choo

It sounds like Chris was talking about non-CS grads in the podcast though. It seems reasonable that they would be able to command $100k in the SF area, but I believe he was talking about front-end developers. $100k seems like quite a lot fo

200k isn't a lot of money for all the ambition this project had, and I don't think it really had a good shot against Facebook — outside the HN-type audience.

Really cool. What's the technology behind this?

Agreed. I've been back here several times today wondering why I'd use Pure over an alternative. A nice explanation of why would be great.

I think your first step should be counselling. If you try one and it doesn't 'click', try another. Counselling can be unbelievably helpful. Someone said to me once that she thought everyone should see a counsellor once every few years. Sh
