About 0xDECAFFEE

I'm jaded. I don't like to fight religious battles anymore, but sometimes things have to be said so I say them. I think C is not only a hammer, but it is a GOD HAMMER given by none other than Zues. Did I mention I'm jaded? I love Ruby not Rails, and no they are not the same thing. Did I mention I don't like fighting religious battles but I will?

    DUNS is in the same category as the BBB and Angies' Liars. It's rather easy to setup these types of operations and I'm amazed there are not more of them.

    There are many places like this out there. It's nothing new. My first experience with a place like this was in the early nineties. Very similar situation. The Bob developed some so…

    But it's ruby, and not doubt ruby's tag along Mr. Rails! By your comment, one would think the guy was developing in PHP!

    It's kind of what happens when you hire developers that are expected to learn your code base in 24 hours. Their recent job posting reeks of unskilled management. I think you made t…

    Those are long standing problems with github and they have been brought up before by others.

    You're not testing enough. TDD and BDD coupled with making sure you follow Agile methods even with "hello world" sample code will prevent this. I would explain more but I am just a…

    OK. Problem #1 "Your solution should be in Javascript and CSS" Smart people don't play monkey games. If you want a monkey at the very least be honest about it. If you want a rockst…

    Just saw a blip for a recruiter's startup "job fair" where the applicants have to go through a pre-screening to be allowed in. Yea, I'm going to take my time to subject myself to r…
