I'm not successful, but my strategy for getting there is specific.... -- never put yourself in the position to go bankrupt -- stay in the game - keep your overheads down to the minimum practical for you -- learn to program so you can i

After a lifetime of being anti nuke, I do now believe Australia has to "nuke up". I also believe now that we need at least 2 very large U.S. bases on our soil, and if the U.S. aren't interested then maybe the U.K. or the Euro

I didn't say anything about wanting to work for a company that does good or valuable things. I just don't believe in the mission. I wouldn't work in certain industries like gambling or tobacco but apart from that I really nee

I agree.... the API should hopefully be consistent, and this is more important still for APIs consumed by third parties, but for your internal projects - just get the damn thing to work. Perfect REST API's are a total waste of time whe
