I didn't read "I was there for 10 days" to mean a "10-day" conference. CppCon has multi-days classes or workshops that extend the conference. Maybe his employer was good enough to pad the time to cover jetlag. This

This unfortunately runs counter to common sense and the OP. I think the OP is trying to encourage a broad and deep understanding of CS, even if they don't see the value in "soft skills". The culture of programming interviews

My enthusiasm isn't curbed either, but this stuff doesn't stick for everyone, especially if the wrong behavior is rewarded. The use of the term "soft skills" to cover a swathe of topics that technical people want to avoi

Wasn't xulrunner based on XPCOM which Mozilla deprecated? I think this is one of the technical reasons for its decline, but I think the biggest reason was timing. When xulrunner was being developed there wasn't the same interest i

I'm not sure others have said this specifically when I started writing this. The point of reinventing the wheel is that you understand the domain and are focusing on the language, framework, or alternative approach. This is at the core

I agree on the time it can take, but the skills element crops up a lot. That doesn't seem to be as big a problem when people have engaged in cooking as a child, or through a home economics class. As society changes there will probably

I have done this, but it can be harder to manage. Watch you don't burn yourself out. Mentoring someone inside your org, but outside your immediate team is often a better option because the motivations are clearer and the individual is

This seems like a pretty important use case. Beside builds, are there other core iOS dev use cases like automated UI testing? I've only done a little bit of iOS development circa 2011.

Could it be that since software is just everywhere in our lives, and unless we need a strong enforcement of quality (I'm thinking of safety critical systems, which can still have flaws), then society is OK with it being released in tha
