Cartesian product is a very common, well known database development term. So what are these apps so I can avoid them? Because if you don't understand basic SQL, I don't want to use your apps.

I am one of the contractors writing a custom accounting system that does the heavy lifting. I have a whole support department helping people like you and your clients. Mainly because of lack of logically thinking skills that math classes wo

Wrong! You still run into problems that require some math discipline and understanding. If you're writing CRUD apps, you need to know what a Cartesian product is or why big O matters. Or how to calculate disk space requirements and tra

The article writer is woefully ignorant. How can you be a career developer and not understand big O notation? Logic isn't just true or false, it's going deeper and learning k-maps and state machines in the bare basics of a program

The term "culling" is chilling when use by those in power. I've formerly only heard it used in context by some as a term for forced reduction of human population.

You're being pedantic and obtuse. In your world people should get an Automotive Engineering degree before driving. Zed teaches enough CLI to allow students to accomplish the basics so they can learn Python or C. Ideally they will expan

I don't agree. There's many a programmer I know that can troubleshoot a tube radio, then go write some Lisp. Most are old school folks that grew up in the 8 bit days of solder and wirewrap.

"Was a few months away from my one year cliff." Money. That's the reason. Had it happen to me a couple of times in the Web 1.0 days. Greed ruined some great products, a few companies and not a few friendships.

I hate when people say "git won the war", it sounds like an excuse to close minds and stop progress. What if "Microsoft won the war"? Or vim? Or IBM? Or Java? Or Taco Bell?

Microsoft would prefer you to use PowerShell and Visual Studio. Python wasn't invented in Redmond.

You might be a great Microsoft developer. Use this API, no this one, nope now this one, you almost caught up, so we released a newer, more better one! Please buy Awesome Studio and RDMS 2015 or you are a loser. Here's a free version th

I was going to do the same type of project, but use a MIPS chip, however determined that ARM chips are much more available. Could also use FPGA, but that's a little too much abstraction.

I think a much better ethical investment would be XO laptops from OLPC, Internet-in-a-Box devices, and grants to train local teachers on how to use both.

I think the author misses the point. Most users I interact with do not want to learn anything slightly challenging. They either want a magic button to do everything or they want you to do their job. God forbid they read any documentation, w

This level of activity is easy to detect if the institution wants to detect it and compile with the law. Chances are the business analyst(s) that did detect it were told to shut up.
