Love: C, Objective-C, C#, JS, Ruby, CSS/HTML5 -> Mac OS X, iOS, NodeJS, nginx, mysql, redis, .NET /
Sometimes: Bash, PHP, Java, Python -> Android, Zend, Mono, Windows, Apache /
Hate: C++, Perl, RoR, J2EE, ASP.NET, MongoDB :P -> ugh!
Probably true too, but: 1) fat takes much longer to digest 2) refined sugar/wheat is like a drug. Basically you get withdrawal symptoms that force you to eat more sugar soon. I bet that the food companies love it 3) ...…
I'd say division of labor/"departments" are a must-have no matter where you are based. Sometimes LAZY managers/owners put employee level developers together with customers and make them even handle billing/contracts. At…
Exactly. I have interviewed many candidates and later fired several too. Some people who look good on paper are so desperate that they lie about everything! In fact, I had to fire the first person I ever hired, because…
I had a similar problem. * Figure out what do you want achieve in the long run (eg individual freedom, another interesting idea that requires much more capital, fly to space, save pandas etc). Does switching/quiting…
Mac + Chrome = crash. Memory usage keeps growing. No idea.
Yes! I hired 2 programmers more than a year ago. One of them was a guy with a lot of experience and another was a girl with only basic programming knowledge (university, first year). It was a valuable experiment,…
xcode - unstable piece of sh*t. Even after so many years it still tends to crash randomly...
We avoided middlemen/agencies. Searched for actual teams relatively near us (via google/recommendations). I would recommend companies/teams in Baltic states if you're from US/EU (good quality, relatively cheap, less…
Depends. If it is your product/startup then be careful: We had a split between founders (business vs technical) about outsourcing vs hiring more people, but I finally gave up. So we outsourced 2 non-trivial components,…
DRM is mostly marketing BS (target -> content providers). For example it takes less than 10 seconds to remove the latest Adobe DRM from an epub file once everything is set up (max 5-10 minutes). Use plain XOR, ROT13…
My personality :) I just left/sold my own company that I started over 3 years ago. Then people asked why? I said "opportunity cost". I just couldn't explain it in any other way. Wasn't happy with my response so I got…
Timetracking (external customers): toggl.com Project management: pivotaltracker.com
What an arse!
Because we're so superficial and envy "success theatre". People around you don't really care about your profitability/business model. They just assume that you have figured everything out (otherwise why would anyone…
Yes :) Still waiting for a proper execSync ( https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/1167 ). Without it small build/utility scripts turn into macaroni cheese unless you resort back to Python/Ruby/Bash - more languages,…
Agreed! I worked for a large Japanese hardware company many years ago. They had an entire floor full of programmers (YES, not kidding!!!) who were working on a new software product and when the first beta versions…
