So a fix for 90% of the problem is out because it's bad for a small percentage? Everything is a trade-off, a solutions for the vast majority of cases outweighs the inconvenience on a small minority

Google is one of the few companies hiring H1B's for their true purpose. If you look at where most of these visas are going it's clear that a large majority are low quality jobs. It's a disservice to the brilliant visa holders

Sorry to say this but you've probably got pretty strong selection bias. At least from my experience (I used to be a consultant) consulting jobs mostly attract people that can't get a job elsewhere. They generally include low pay,

Inc is a publication targeted towards business owners. Nothing about the site is meant to be neutral. It's like learning about Democrats from a Republican website. I wouldn't disregard it so quickly if the source was more neutral.

Inc.com is a really bad source for such information... As if they would be expected to be neutral in such a situation. If this was true you would see it across professions and at every level of position, yet it's something fairly uniqu

The endless talent shortage is a farce. Every tech company I've worked at rejects well over 90% of their applicants and has an interview process that would be considered insane in almost any other field. I would say the opposite is tru

Exactly. Even with C# open, until enough years pass for the community to build up, you're still in the House of Microsoft...They just keep the doors open now.

It gets worse the more familiar you are with open source, because you know how bad you're missing out. All the guys that live in MS world swear they're not missing out on anything. But these are the same guys that lived in the ent

Okay so my latest issue http2... In C# you have to be running the newest version of Windows to use it. You know how happy my boss was to hear that we needed new server licenses to use http2? Very. Use .NET core? Not ready yet for production

Yes this 100%. Community ecosystem is a joke on C# compared to Java. Take for example lucene. I just used version 3.03 in a C# project because the port hasn't been updated in years. Version 6.x is the current one. We also needed to use

I use C# daily at work and my dislike can be summed up by one word: Microsoft. They may have changed course but open source software has for 10+ years largely avoided the platform. This means C# is Java with nicer syntax but 10% the librari

Anything web. You're going to be dealing mostly with rest APIs and whatever CMS or custom site setup you have. You also need strong data/SQL skills and knowledge of message passing stuff like queues. You will eventually need to wr

:) I checked out your site, looks great...Very similar to our setup. Two things I noticed. Your site can be made more optimized for highly impatient types. I recommend always showing a phone number that leads directly to a sales line with

It's true, but on the other hand I can't think of a term for "good marketing person" that hasn't been ruined :).

I can't really say without giving my details, and as you can see I like throwaways :) especially when I'm at work. The difference was that the rest of our content was bland marketspeak whitewash garbage stuff. "Expand your cl

If your product doesn't suck and it won't sell you suck at marketing. "Growth hacking" is just a SV koolaid rebranding of marketing. It wasn't a start-up but a consulting company I worked at that had stagnated for a

I'm all for maintaining backwards compatibility but I've coded in both and VB is just an inferior language. Sorry :)

So when was surge pricing actually shut off? Also I was more pissed about Uber's shit PR stunt that day than what happened at JFK. Uber has pulled out of many cities rather than comply with their regulations(which cabs already had to f

Last time I used the API it was incomplete and slow. The "multi request mode" also exposes all sorts of resource exhuastion attacks. I had a ton of sites go down from "bundled" login attempts where they tried something l

Check out monotonic grey codes, they are used for situations like this. As far as I understand it is possible to generate a code where each value only differs by one bit no matter the length, but generating them can be difficult

WordPress is garbage unless you statically cache the generated html. I haven't been able to keep the servers running on even medium traffic sites doing anything else. It's simply far too slow. On anything short of a supercomputer

I still see a problem with this. If GM crops are capable of being wind blown how does his activity differ at all from someone trying to naturally select for crops with herbicide resistance? Any farmer trying to select for a plant with resis
