In programming languages I would say Perl, I have never heard some of the noises I have heard coming out of programmers trying to decipher and debug someone elses Perl program ;)

They were pretty much all code monkey jobs, it would have been my third proper coding job and they were a software house so it was your average Java code shop. Either way it is still a "Real" tech job, just for an asshole company

This article should start off with "First buy Turntables and then buy Vinyl" Step 2 - once you have mastered beat-matching on this then you can fuck around with the new fancy electronic systems. Step 3 - learn to get good at it. #

I actually think it is more likely that you have young silicon valley VPs who dont have much experience and have been booted a fuck load of funding, this is likely the reason so many of them fail! I mean fair play to the guy for landing a s

100% this! The tech world is due an implosion if this continues, you cant have people with ZERO programming experience beyond a guided 12 week bootcamp being offered anything more than a Junior role?? This single sentence terrifies me: &quo

Well when you are only getting around 30bhp / L from your engines you don't really need a manual do you?

"Usernames and passwords to electronic accounts holding payment data are not sufficiently protected" I correct myself - maybe it does!

I don't think PCI compliance is a factor here (unfortunately) - they literally only deal with the taking of cards, I would think Banks should be looking at this pretty skeptically! Although here in Australia there seems to be a lot mor

I am 100000% behind this - I point blank refuse to do code tests because they are asinine and I probably have the exact same one in a private GH repository from one of the million other unimaginative tech hirers. You want me to prove my wor

The standard tuning MySQL comes with is a good example, pretty crappy for anything other than a small website! However that's what it excels at and I would guess 90% of its userbase! Anyone who needs it for something bigger will know h

For the lowest barrier to entry and pure "Getting shit done" MySQL is perfectly fine for most projects, when you start needing to think about enterprise level data then Postgres is way forward!

I really rate Jungledisk, you can choose S3 or Rackspace Cloudfiles as your storage medium, very much set it and forget it!

I still use .dev for the majority of sites, I'm pretty pissed that Google was allowed to appropriate it! It has so far bitten me on the ass once when a CDN was involved (the CDN resolved it to Googles servers so the failure wasn't

The windows password is more of a "Please don't use my area and ruin my browsing history" than an actual security option, I thought that was well known? Full disk encryption is really the only way if you want to keep people o

I was taught Ada at university, it is a complete bitch of a language but it forces you to be disciplined and do things "Properly" - something that is crucial in real-time systems. I don't regret being taught it, I do however

I tend to either give "The Belgeriad" or "Mistborn" as a gift to people who want to get into Fantasy. I think when Rothfuss releases his final Kingkiller Chronicle book it might be my new intro series :)

If I'm working solely within a programming team then Github issues works fine for tracking bugs and features. It's when you need to communicate with teams outside of the code that JIRA really shines, everyone in the company has an

In every language I learnt in my CS degree, the debugger was integral. One of the first things you are taught in CS is how to use truth tables to determine the expected outcome, debuggers are just an extension of the whole "I expect th
