I think a lot of companies use software that wraps twitter. My company makes contact center software, and "twitter" is just another media type like calls or email.

Is it less risk to hire the open source guy? What if he spent a bunch of time at his last employer working on un-sanctioned projects? Will he do that to you as well? Just playing devil's advocate.

Obviously it depends how much you make in each place. The argument most miss is that if you buy a place in SFO, that rent isn't throwaway, it's equity. Though I live in the Midwest. Was lucky to find a big salary here.

Agree 100%. So many people make lip service to SCALE at my company, but out of 20+ teams we are the only team running real scale tests against real defined limits with real (obfuscated) customer data.

My company uses CastLight and it is pretty great. It has been fairly accurate (+/- 10%) the few times I have used it.

Don't you just pull out cash before you leave then? Stop by a bank ATM or by the bank if you need a different currency.

Prime is and started as 2 day delivery. Some items have "next day" or even "same day" included now, but not most.

Hey man, me too! Almost same story, pirate CD. Though it was VB3 for me. Used to make AOL chat bots and mass mailers. What did you build back then?

Finding a job as a software engineering manager is actually pretty easy assuming you can still build software. At least it is in my experience. Most great engineers don't want to be a manager...

Hi, almost 60. I hope I can ask this in a kind way. What about retirement? Are you that excited with your work that you don't want to retire? Or were there personal issues? Ugh.. not super kind. Hope you don't take it the wro
