Look at how many distinguished engineers, or other very high level individual contributors who have actual real power there are compared to Directors and VP's who manage large groups of people. The individual contributor path is expone

Tracking the centre of mass of the skateboarder would give you an idea of how to get additional height on your ollie. Essentially sucking up your legs, bending at the waist and throwing your arms down will allow you to clear higher obstacl

There are bushings which will provide a small amount of spring, but your general points stands that the force comes from pushing down on the tail and shifting the front foot up to the nose to pull the skateboard up.

They're not raising their kids to sling code for a living. CEO's also don't have to use iPad's and TV as cheap babysitters.

I'd argue that using a CRM isn't in the sales people's best interest. If they can keep all of their contacts in their personal contact list they are better off. Plus, from their perspective any time entering stuff into a CRM

I still think that this is very limiting. I'm in Canada (Waterloo, Ontario) and I just can't see trying out at a company for a month. That said, I'm "old" (36), and have family responsibilities. If I were a naive

How many people are realistically willing to do a trial for a month? Developers are in demand. They likely already have a job.

I think of managing expectations to be only tangentially related to managing up. I try to get into my manager's head. What are they worried about, what do they not care about, when is it best to present a solution, when is it best to

My opinion is that you should never try to obviously and directly manage your manager like this, but I am a strong advocate of "managing up". It's much more subtle, and it can work wonders for your career.

I do the same thing. But as MichaelOChurch said, losers and sociopaths are actually quite similar. It is possible to be either a safe loser or a sociopath using this method. It is possible to live a very good life as a loser if you manage

I'm not saying that this is happening here, but isn't the standard line when a c level is pushed out that they are leaving to spend more time with their family? I actually believe max here.

Ah, yes I could see various FI's being a fantastic market for this. To really get entrenched they could price it at serious enterprise pricing, build case studies, do enterprise sales etc. and could make some serious money with the rig

I'd argue that these skills are only tangentially related. Despite what others experiences are with MBA types, one of my best managers ever was a very smart recent MBA grad with no programming experience. He cared deeply for the tea

This is really cool, and I have to say I'm impressed, but is excel speed a common problem for people? Are you trying to monetize this? Who is your target market? I'm genuinely curious. I work at $BIGCORP in analytics with a lot o

No Revenue for me yet, but I've been inspired by patio11 and Amy Hoy to build a product. I'm starting very small with a premium wordpress plugin focused on food bloggers. Progress has been slower than I'd hoped due to person

A robot should have much faster reflexes than you do. Robots should be able to compensate for people actively running or diving in front of them. The situation you describe should be very easy to compensate for. Don't bother relying

Every time I hear about salaries in London it makes me mad. Why is the pay so bad? How is it possible that the value isn't recognized? Are you able to demonstrate the value that you bring, or is it so much an old boys club that dev&

You should care about them. They facilitate movement in between companies. If you're a "manager" at a major organization but are actually doing VP level work and are getting paid like a VP, it will be very difficult for you

Are UK salaries even worse than Canadian ones? I've looked at analytics related positions in the UK and was shocked at how bad the average pay seemed to be given what the cost of living was. It seemed to be the same for software devel

Got anything to back up your statement? Everything fight I've seen between two willing participants (not bullying) is that it isn't really very dangerous. I'm 36 and I still love to spar. I do it with boxing headgear, a m

I live in Canada. A significantly bigger country than the US. I don't think of Canada as being the world, nor does anyone I know. I think it actually has to do with the American media. It used to be worse. I remember seeing US news
