The problem with this article is that is glosses over one major problem: if Germany's currency moved in accordance with its economy rather than the entire European Union then its exports would be grossly overpriced and uncompetitive. It's

1 order from Amazon for "Hello, Android" placed Oct. 29th, expected arrival after Dec. 25th with the possibility of a Feb. 22nd delivery date!? But it's in stock over at Amazon... Oh wait, looks like I'll be getting it directly from the so

Let's see, they had an N of 12. Not statistically viable for logging what carrier performs better where. This is most clearly visible in the express packaging differences between FedEx and USPS which uses FedEx and they even mentioned it

This is easy to say but hard to do. "Based on excellence" is the mantra I've heard from software development circles for years and yet... 1. How many of us have lost productivity because some other developer ran rough-shod through code car

Their frontend developers did that? You sure? I'd say their management/marketing/sales/some idiot with more seniority than anyone else with any common sense did that. The frontend developers were simply the guys that had to code it in.

Yes, they could offer more but the choice of an easy 3k and then a quick stint of unemployment then versus the long stint of unemployment makes 3k a pittance. Having a job is so overwhelmingly important these days that even something as "l

Yeah, doubt the same thing can be done in today's climate where we have a 10% unemployment rate.

Go out and start using it. Sure 2.8 was a major upgrade but everything improved with that update for the better. Martin's reply is key. He's completely behind making the language a real success.

You'd be surprised at what is being done in the government to reeducate disabled and hurt soldiers. Some of the engineers at my company are working with some 20 veterans who have no training in software. Unfortunately they're being lead a

Have you tried recruiting from other areas to NYC? I'm thinking about areas like DC where there's plenty of government focused work but very little on the start-up type work that's happening in and around Boston, NYC, and the Valley.

Wonder who didn't adjust a calendar for a leap year in some government code. Surely today could be Nov. 10, right? It's not like someone's hacked together version of a date/time system hasn't made it's way across my desk, I don't know, fif

That's not true. Sitting in the Boston meetup recently they spoke directly to people who wanted a BIG exit and those who wanted a lifestyle company. They will fund either. Only VCs need the homeruns constantly to earn their risk/reward p

Regarding the "Who's using" stuff. Maybe I'm not your typical person but I could care less about who is using your stuff. "Featured in the NYTimes..." oh yeah? So what. Like I said, maybe I'm wrong but do you have numbers to back it up?

Except doesn't IE9 suck at rendering CSS3 with any semblance of style? Correct me if I'm wrong but another article was on here not too long ago bemoaning the fact that web developers will yet again have to craft custom applications for Mic

This person gets it. It took me a year after grad school to find a job I wanted. I tried a semester of teaching first, as an experiment, but eventually was hired when I could demonstrate the ability to produce new ideas. That last article

Have you considered Python? I'm a big fan of statically typed languages but that's the one I use for all my scripting on *nix and Windows. It's used by a whole slew of web developers. Nothing stopping it from becoming the new cross-platf

Why, to this day, am I still mesmerized by Legos? Is it the fact that it was my first "engineering" like activity which allowed unconstrained creativity that ultimately lead to my career in software engineering? Or was it more mundane, Ro

This is exactly how the Helium-Neon laser came about. At the time there were published articles on how infeasible a gas based laser was to create. The researcher who came up with them didn't know about the papers and hadn't done a full li

Actually I had some of those tell me to put the number of lines of code I've written on my resume "...because tech guys like that stuff." Honestly, it was a great ice-breaker when I said "The recruiters added that. I think it's a total sh
