I think we need a new name for these type of jobs, then. They're not actual programming positions, since development tends to be about solving problems. Maintenance and production are two lexicographic options that somewhat relay the scope

You're right about that not being clear. I meant that it's traditional for guys to interact in that way, regardless of gender. Their emotional language may be patronizing, but the content is the exact same as if they were meeting a male hac

Canon's really come a long way with their software, I remember having to battle a lot of driver issues with their scanners under early versions of OS X. Their camera platform is a lot more engaging to experimenters, too bad I hooked up with

Zirn says that when meeting new male hacker acquaintances, an intense interview-style process often follows. "It’s like they don’t believe you, they have all these questions, they want to know what Linux distribution you use." I'm not sur

Since you didn't phrase this in terms of "Rejection Therapy" I have to assume it didn't pop up on your radar. It was pretty popular on here a couple of weeks ago, and Jason Shen even did a series about trying it out. How long ago was this?

I see! This must stem from the culture of cheapness that surrounds a lot of restaurants; supposedly the industry is cut-throat. This just means that the problem needs to be attacked on a different front: marketing. Which is where the huckst

While the monetary cost is trivial, the amount of effort to turn around management is huge. This happens in a lot of corporations, where the best known subsidiary may have a radically different methodology. In this case, it’s Tazo’s approac

Some machines hum differently when they run. Do you feel cycles are wasted when visualizing a problem? The music is just a different thinking language.

I've worked in education, and if something in Windows breaks the teachers wouldn't know what to do anyway. From Neal Stephenson: Prospective station wagon buyer: "I know what you say is true...but...er...I don't know how to maintain a tan

Automator, Time Machine, Spotlight. All are major developments, all are so well-defined that they’re banal. A good design is one for the ages, and I assume “improvement” is churn. Apple’s work with WebKit, LLVM and OpenCL is the interesti

Unfortunately Rand would have browbeaten you into oblivion. He was a legendary curmudgeon, and would often try to defeat the client's meddling by saying something like: "you pay me for a solution. I'll make it, then you can decide whether y

Offhand, I’d have to say the amount of bad/good software is similar to what exists commercially. The difference is that a lot of commercial software is either enterprise and hidden, or so obscure nobody cares. “Better” often refers to bett

Actually, the fonts on the computer are generally more expensive than anything else. It's better with opentype, but a lot of agencies still have a ton of mac-only fonts that would be prohibitively expensive to update. Plus, really good desi

Sorry, it was in reference to this: " I micro-predict that this will be the first of many livecasted coding personalities. ” Notch coding is both hypnotic and mutable in the way that a traditional Japanese rock garden is meant to be.
