Tech managers spend as much time worrying about how to hire talented female developers as they do worrying about how to hire a unicorn. I would think more time would be put into worrying about how to hire talented developers regardless

This is awesome. It's funny, I didn't think it would be useful until I actually checked it out, because I personally find JSON to be fairly readable.

So what is the best way to balance a hosted site between Amazon and a separate service? Because these connectivity issues suck.

Seems accurate. I've seen just as many RockStar and Ninja titles through this as I do in real life. Fun tool.

I really enjoy this, but I think it might not have enough levels. I'm level 28 according to the tree, but I certainly don't feel like a 28.

There was something on people going on disability in a recent This American Life. People were going on disability because they just weren't useful in today's working world. They didn't know how to use computers. They had suff

No. I mean, I would. But there still needs to be someone to work those jobs. Also, a lot of times people gain a sense of self-worth from doing work that is appreciated. Whether they are getting it or not, or whether it's right or not,

I do still think there's the possibility that it's a metaphor. As much as I don't like the recent news that's come out about the NSA, I also don't like to falsely manipulate people's words to give them a negati

Who pays for the basic income? What if working would provide you with a basic income? Would it then not make sense for people working poor jobs to quit and just get the guaranteed basic income along with all their free time?

I love it. It's also very small and portable. Available homebrew and ease of using custom firmware also adds a large hook for me.

This is a great idea, but personally I'd have preferred it if the product was a docking station that came with a Vita. And had an option of getting just the docking station if you already have a Vita. One of the things I really like ab

That's a great question. Maybe the fact that they don't even think to look for such a thing? I spent at least 10 years doing development on my own before university and it never once occurred to me to read an algorithms book. Funn

I don't know about other IDEs, but in Visual Studio I'm able to just right-click on a method and hit "Find All References" to see a list of everywhere something is called.

Thanks for this one. I thought this was going to be a collection of links to great technical talks -- which has value to me -- but was instead surprised with thoughts on what makes a talk great. I'll definitely be keeping this stuff in

Shut Up and Sit Down is awesome. Good call. What is the business opportunity of an open M:TG API? I'm not sure I see the real potential there.

Is it just me, or are the words "terrorist" and "terrorism" starting to lose their meanings?

I can understand that take on it. Our take is more that if you can recognize what is wrong with the code on multiple levels then you can most likely write good code. This is easier to check on non-trivial code when done through a code revie

This is the way the company I work for currently does it. They provide the candidate with a piece of terrible code, ask for a code review of as many issues as the candidate can find, and also for a refactored copy of the code. Both of which

I started coding when I was 10. I think what made the difference for me was that I started out in QBASIC and it had excellent documentation within its help menus. I didn't have any books or anyone knowledgeable to learn from at the tim

Not being effective sucks. Do you enjoy the feeling of starting somewhere new or starting with a new project and not knowing what you're doing? The trick is to minimize that time so that you can: a] feel effective b] not have a long te

When writing resumes in the past I've taken lousy job titles and updated them with actual job titles equivalent to the work I was doing -- for example changing "Software Developer" to "Front End Developer" or "
