How does that qualify as 40x? It's not reasonable to compare an engineer who has worked for 5-6 years on an identical project to an engineer that hasn't or has less work experience. For this particular task he may have been 40x mo

Not sure, they weren't always invite-only. You can find mixed opinions about them online. Things used to be more open but now they've put various restrictions in place so you can view that as you will: either they're very pop

The question is about starting today though, so it's not about going back in time with knowledge of future events.

Isn't your question then the same as: did you think you got lucky?

Taking back everything else? Does that include knowledge, experience and lessons learned? Because that greatly affects what pg would start doing today.

Alternative lesson: UI design matters. Github is achieving what they want (increased participation) by stimulating daily activity through an activity graph. Example: this article, John Resig ( https://github.com/jeresig ), et

I don't think you know enough to take action. You might draw incorrect conclusions from what you saw and it may have unwanted results if you raise this with a project manager (or him). Usually there are other signs as well when an empl

It's beneficial to learn algorithms and data structures although you may or may not need them in your projects. Choosing the right data structures and algorithms help with writing clean code that's also more maintainable than a me
