I'm 46, I programmed a computer for the first time when I was 10, back when Pong was starting to wane and the Atari 2600 was starting to get big. I've been programming continuously since then for 36 years. It's been challen

I'd love to make XXX videogames. There aren't many serious players in that space, and I'd love to go after it. I can't do it alone, though, I need artists and a couple other capabilities besides software development. W

It may not have hurt anyone. But a good rule to live by is: If you find yourself considering lying, then you have made some poor choices somewhere along the line. Every time you find yourself wanting to lie, think about it, and you may co

There actually are good, obvious reasons to prefer Elixir to Erlang. Syntax is actually significant to productivity. For one quick example, Erlang requires you to terminate statements with either a comma, or a period, depending on whether

I've been a loyal Rackspace customer for years. The machines have performed well and been ridiculously reliable, and overall I've been pleased with the experience. I guess this isn't targeted at people like me.

There most definitely is low hanging fruit. If you had the benefit of perfect hindsight from 20 or 30 years in the future, almost certainly there are things you could create today and be wildly successful with. However, none of us have the

It means they can't succeed in writing the code. It's not a failure to understand how to use the IDE, or a failure to understand how to compile. It's that the applicant cannot actually write even the most basic code. The fa
