These guys were pure jerks. What person thinks its 2003 when you have a Linux. I love a Mac and use it on a regular basis, but Linux is the real machine. That's where you get your hands dirty and learn the inner workings. Yes, you trea

The advantages this app will be bringing will be very less compared to the creepy features. I don't want to sound like a cliche, but there are no second chances once you are on there. People improve and change over time. But, once you

This sums up pretty much nicely. You don't always need a college degree is a fact. But, getting a college degree is useless is an over statement. I have interviewed/spoken to a bunch of bootcamp camp grads who are good at what the

Why does H1B visas directly relate to Indian consulting companies? I agree those companies are the ones applying for the largest number of visas. But, I as an Indian working in the United States on H1B visa and earning more than a lot of Am

I aspire to be a venture capitalist at some point in my life. For me, being a venture capitalist is more about spotting the right people and the right vision more than the money. Companies succeed and fail. VCs lose on a lot and gain on a f

Ok, here's the thing. Indian developers are not overrated. The developers that you are trying to hire might be overrated. Very good developers in India mostly work for big product companies or startups. Most good developers do not free

When dealing with a lot of sensitive government data a lot of things can happen. It makes so much sense to ban widely used email services where appropriate. Indian media houses just try to make an issue out of nothing just to grab attention

Why has no one added JSConf. It is an amazing conference with a limited set of people and very good talks. And its a 3 day conference where one day is pure fun. I attended it once and wish to attend again. http://2015.jsconf.us&#

+1 what's wrong in using referrals. Every web company out there is earning money more or less the same way.

Sounds fair. Isn't advertising on the blog an advertising and the user doesn't disclose anywhere that he will earn money when you click on the ad. Even though its obvious, shouldn't he be disclosing that? If he has referral l
