Somehow the menu style reminds me of Widgets/UI-component from the Windows ecosystem.
That would be Computer Systems Analyst. #5 on the list.
Out of the blue. I used to check out DimDim UI a year go to see how far they can use GWT. Never thought the next news coming out from them is this one.
There are less hype about US these days. That's all. US is no longer the powerhouse it used to be. US used to be a symbol of pride among SE Asia tourists: you have to visit US, smell the air, buy their bands, etc. These…
I grew up in Asia (up until my high school year). Back then, my generation were influenced heavily by western culture: basketball, hip-hop, R&B, rap, pop, boy-band, baseball, pizza, steaks, computers. Many of my…
They do indeed. Funny though, I was cleaning up my bookshelves 2 days ago and I stumbled upon old books "Software Engineering in UNIX/C Environment" (1991)[Honest: I copied the book from my university library before I…
The content of the book came from his essays (posted on his website). Whether it is worth or not, it depends on how you define worth. I used to buy the hype cycle out of recommended books by "the internet" (reddit, HN,…
They had a chance to make it better when they re-wrote their app from Java to PHP no? (If... that is their main cause of failure. Which probably isn't.)
There's not enough detail of what kind of "gold platting" the author had done. Now I'm not an expert on "architectures" or "patterns" and my view is just a personal observation when I glanced over HN, slideshare.net,…
Sometime I wonder what would happen in the near-future? Many brick-n-mortar stores (musics/cd, books, video-rental) where people used to sort of hang-out are now closing their doors and filing bankruptcy. Many young…
[Edit] Obviously I'm ignorant. Excuse me.
Will the world become a better place? That depends on whom you asked. From my perspective the world was a better place in the past but that's my personal opinions. Has India become a better country because of all the…
Race to the bottom.
Depends where. In the US? poor souls kept getting blamed by management. IT is expensive says Management. So they offshore. Job is gone. Once industry sang the same song, we're done. No more IT practitioners in the US.…

you mean in a "cave" in the middle of the jungle right? :D
Hi mitchellh. I haven't used vagrant yet but the tool looks great! It will probably be a superb addition to my day-to-day toolbox (I'm a new VirtualBox user). Thank you for creating the tool. In a probably unrelated…
Let's hope that there will be more like this :).
I like Ted Dziuba solution: http://teddziuba.com/2010/10/taco-bell-programming.html Full-stack programmer at work!
Yes. Look around, people shun 9-5-ers.
How about in the ballpark of a health specialist (doctor) salary? 200k at least? 300k? Or maybe pro-Athlete level salary? 700k/season (NBA, 2nd round draft) Am I exaggerate in terms of salary? probably... these days,…
Good post. Don't forget to pay your full-stack engineer with a full-stack money. Don't be cheap on them mkay? On the other hand, I'd like to have a full-stack CEO as well. Not just someone who can only say "make it…
It's not all or nothing proposition as your opening sentence perceive to be. Just wait until you need to actually write an automation test and dealt with code/developers who happen to say "well, it's hard to do that now…
