It seems pretty unnecessary to call such people liars. Surely they know their own minds better than you. Anyhow, it is not too difficult to understand the “write for yourself” aesthetic, if you are willing to make the…
My first programming job was for a boss who (we believe) had Asperger's. He was great and the job was great. I mean, he was a bit weird. But so what. Anyway, it's a serious condition, but beneath it is a real person who…
This is very hard for non-nerds. Imagine simply not knowing what Github is, or why you would look there, or having no concept that "Java EE backed by Oracle" is a different beast than "Ruby/Rails in front of PostGres".…
I simply cannot understand how Google can be so short sighted about this. The simple questions: what about an in-the-closet gay teen? or what about a domestic violence survivor? should make their whole stack of cards…
Mention one time to your boss that you believe you're very underpaid. Then, don't say it again. If a raise doesn't come, start looking for a better paying job. When you find one, put in your notice, be professional, but…
I dunno. I was out of work for a year once and then settled for a few years of staggering underemployment. I even came to believe that I would never again be hired as a developer, that no company would look at me, that…
Well, I think this is interesting: http://www.linkedin.com/jobs?viewJob=&jobId=1022663
That was a very odd and wonderful comment. Thank you :)
You're wrong. All sorts of people were following me, and me following them, just by clicking the Buzz link.
There is something self-referential about this post, but I can't quite figure out what.
It is nice, those rare moments, when a company has a clue.
I don't know. I think those books are worth reading at some point, but without SICP, Knuth, or Norvig's stuff, it is hardly a great list.
Agreed! I took one look at your mystery meat navigation (after turning of noscript) and hit the close button. If you want to attract talented developers, get a better site.
Just curious, what do you think is the right direction?
OK, a bunch of others recommended it, but I'll add my voice and recommend SICP. There are lots of good books on programming, but it is the best single source. After that, decide what parts of programming you like, and…
It is sort of useless advice, though. If you're the sort of person whose inclined to "do it wrong", you already are. If your not, simplistic advice isn't going to help you find the one correct way to do it wrong. You'll…
His point that Clojure will prove almost as difficult as Java because you have to figure out what to make REFs of seems wrong to me. He is missing the point that the remaining stuff in Clojure is purely functional, and…
It looks like an awesome book. You can get the PDF for free if you follow the links the article.
Plus I didn't realize it was possible to set the font size to .0000000000001 pt.
I'm pretty much on the right side on all of these. I probably should be getting paid more.
Wow. They are actually for unicycles and banjos. I was expecting some weird, ironically named, social networking sites.
Controversial and flamey topics would shoot to the top and more considered, but denser topics would languish.
Perhaps I've become an FP zealot, but I just can't agree at all with this author's suggestion. Small methods, "agile", unit testing, and all that are fine and lovely, but none of them approach the kind of safety and…
Being on the JVM is a very big deal. I have associates who wouldn't think of using a "fancy" language for anything, who are now looking closely at Clojure, and its chief attraction to them is evidently the JVM. On the…
Back before it was a public project, there apparently was a Clojure on .net. It appears, however, that it is now pretty firmly matched to the JVM. Given its present state, it would be about as hard to separate Clojure…
