£10 per hour... not bad. I love the simplicity of this, it's definitely a lot easier than thinking about it myself.

I am currently an average programmer, as judged by this scale.

Firstly I want to find a new job, higher paying is my main goal at the moment as I feel I am being undervalued by my current company and their refusal to bring my wage in line with my co-workers despite performing equally, if not better tha

This is a point which often worries me, I decided to skip higher education to travel and began programming (professionally for a company) when I had just turned 19, now, 7 months in I'm starting to see that my friends who went to college an

The sweet irony of this is that the Japanese will have flying toilets before the U.S.A. has flying cars.

I'm really glad to have received so much support, I expected wide-spread "stay" please to be perfectly honest. And you are perfectly right, my social life has suffered, I couldn't go out for the Halloween parties with my friends, and it's q

That's a good point, luckily, I'm quite fortunate, I left the UK for 2 years to live in Spain and spent nearly the entire time in constant employment, so I have a pretty good track record as far as past employment goes. Thanks for taking yo

This makes a lot of sense, but I'm curious about whether leaving after 7 months will look bad on me if I go to an interview with another company. For instance, when I explain that it is due to money issues, will it make me look greedy or la

Thanks a lot, that's a fantastic response! I really like my boss and it's a great company to work for, but the money is really a kicker. I'm not a greedy kind of person, I actually live a very modest lifestyle, but there are certain things

Most pieces added to Show HN don't need that much fixing, that's why I tend to check, plus it's good to be useful to the community as a whole, there's no point only half trying, especially not if you expect to land work from it.

Mostly here, my freelance work tends to come from me posting an informative comment on someone's Show HN page, telling them what is good, what is bad and what needs to change. I often take an in depth look if there are bugs, going to my con

It is comments like this which make me dislike reading the comments of any article with "php" in the title. Not only is it extremely biased, it is presented without any facts or logic to back it up and should be taken as it is given, an opi

Personally I don't know the difference between a chipset and a plate of chips, but even with my limited knowledge I can tell instantly that a tremendous amount of work went in to building this. Kudos to your dad.

In fairness, it would probably be much shorter than the features that would need to be removed from Google Analytics.

I hate to make a "me too" kind of post, but very well put, I didn't think of it that way, you've opened my eyes to another way of seeing things.

I feel that this is is often blown far out of proportion, everyone sells the whole DNT option as the holy grail of privacy, but the honest truth is that not everyone cares about privacy, in fact, most people don't care about it at all. Ever

I'm unsure of whether you're correct, our bodies are designed to be in this reality and this is (presumably) what feels most natural to us. I think it falls down to genetic memory, the idea that we inherit parts of our subconscious self fro

Firstly, you would need one hell of a system set up, we aren't just talking mainframe servers in a building, we are talking entire city blocks dedicated to this. The challenge is computing everything, you need to be able to work out the phy

Apple tends to be fairly ruthless in their dealings with other companies and act without remorse (like many other companies, Samsung of course included) and it's become the only way to survive in the horrific world of IP law suits. Unfortun

I couldn't agree more, Apples response here is childish and to be quite frank doesn't do much in the way of apologizing to Samsung. I for one hope that they get found in contempt of court for this, I doubt very much it's what the presiding
