   A more elegant solution than a notecard may be using a vim cheatsheet wallpaper, like this: http://vimfoo.com/2012/09/vim-shortcut-wallpaper/ The downside of that is that it isn't customizable, so I get

   Agreed. So many times I've wished there was either a high-quality, curated list (by pro Python programmers for new-to-intermediate Python programmers) or a place where such books are reviewed by pros. Does anything like that exist?

    Former land surveyor and GPS/GIS technician here (now a developer). I have a lot of sympathy for your perspective. I remember when consumer GPS became a thing and getting a little Sheldon Cooper on folks who used "GPS" as a s

    No, read the parent comment again. They hired these grads for programming and dev jobs, not as "management and financial consultants." Dagw is correct— they used Oxbridge as a filter and retrained these new hires with great su

    This piece needs a real editorial once-over for grammar and spelling. I'm not impressed with the QC the current editors bring to Quartz stories.

    Why not? The English did it when hiring slowed down. There's a company over there that will take Oxford or Cambridge liberal-arts grads and train them in programming and hire them.

    Everybody wants to hire a flying purple unicorn that is a master of "full stack." It seems nobody has time for "jack of all trades, master of some." But knowing only one or two domains is a step on the ladder of programm

    So why are companies freaking out at paying over 100k/yr for a full-time person who they can invest in? That's a good question, but I'm afraid there's a fatal flaw therein. The assumption is that companies want to inve
