I don't think these guidelines would apply the same way at a larger established company instead of a startup. Skillset would have comparably more interest to a company already invested in legacy systems which wouldn't be the case with a sta

mixmax' point 3) reminds me of State the Obvious. Maybe saying something in known agreement promotes consensus (with the speaker). Also anything past the first page won't get as many eyeballs so what's there will get more upvotes still.

It was a cute sales pitch for the company's C IDE. I especially like how they use "soccer", a word that resembles "sorcery". Talking about how one (only?) gets the gist of things and is not a kernel hacker was great to speak to the less-tha

Beggars can't be choosers perhaps but couldn't both halves of a relationship being similar get ubalanced? Maybe just a little bit more understanding, or opportunitiy, makes up for that...

Open Source became "magic pixie dust" right from the beginning of the term with the Mozilla Project. At least in The Cathedral and the Bazaar someone found reason to refute it. http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral..

It's not the same as this story but I gamed Algebra II in in high school. It was last class of the day, the teacher was a track coach and most of us were in sports. Since time was short near the end of the year we all got permission to work
