I don't see the "Consulting Company" being in any way a prominent force in the software industry any more, but on the other side "Individual Consultants" (the good ones) will probably continue to thrive and make big bucks as long as they ke

Ahh I understand. I generally don't use threading (I rather threat emails as a standalone items), but I can see why you'd find subject threading annoying. I tend to filter emails and reroute different types of emails that don't belong in my

I didn't know thunderbird displayed threaded messages without the subjects matching. I actually haven't heard of any client doing that. Wouldn't subject base threading be more dependable? How do you organize threaded messages with different

I never said otherwise though. I just emphasized that the language really doesn't matter at this point in the project. Sure you're looking for a Web Dev, but he could code your site in whichever language he chooses to. Hell he could make it

If you're using Gmail or Google Apps for your email needs, I'd reckon you try Sparrow ( http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/ ). It's truly the client I've been waiting for years! It's still in beta and lacks some final polish on some areas, but i

Touche. Though I said best editor, not best OS. I tried Emacs once, org-mode was a bliss until I realized I had no feeling on my left pinky and realized I was more productive when I used Vim. You have to admit though, those screencasts are

You need to be specific on what your needs are regarding platforms, though that generally doesn't define which language to use; though there are exceptions, like for example OSX and Obj-C... and even in this case you could still end up usin

Yeah, the language is irrelevant at this stage in your applications life cycle. I would understand having to use a specific language because of existing code, or because its the convention of the current workforce, but for a project that ha

Programming languages are really case specific and preferences of the programmers. The truth is it really doesn't matter what language is chosen, the only thing that matters is that you get an awesome team of programmers and designers to wo

I'm an advocate of frameworks, but only for fast prototyping. Nothing beats designing in the browser using Haml ( http://haml-lang.com/ ) and Compass/Sass ( http://compass-style.org/ ) in conjunction with Static Matic ( http://staticmatic.r

The hell no. As DevX101 said, children don't understand why they need to get an education in the first place. This creates the impression that going to school is a job when it most certainly is not. There is a difference between offering an

Yeah I figured as much, I just wanted to tell you what I thought it was missing, not complain about the lack of features. Anyways it seems as if you guys want to only focus on the overview of the project management side and not on the task

This looks really cool, and is designed beautifully. The only thing is that it id kind of featureless to be really useful for managing projects (read: even though I love the concept and execution, I wouldn't pay to use it yet). I do think t

First and foremost, I love the idea and the reader seems really nice done. That being said, the controls on the reader are a pain to use at first. Bookmarks are extremely confusing until you've made two or three of those to see how they wor

If I had to pick a new language today (I know both languages and I slightly prefer Ruby over Python) and I didn't already know Javascript, that would be it. Javascript is the new popstar right now. The language I want to try right now is Ha

Ruby is not almost always picked with ROR, ROR is built on top of Ruby so it cant be used without it. There's an inherent flaw with comparing a framework with a language: You're removing the people that use Ruby without ROR but with other f
