I am an example of one of those people. I DID have a learning disability (officially tested for and documented). Failed high school and now I am middle aged, have my own business m…

I prescribe to the idea that all thought and language is metaphorical. Language and thought do exist separately but also combine in useful ways for all of us. This is why you can t…

Behavior Consistency. I recently learned about this phenomenon. People make decisions on an emotional level and then logically support them afterward. In fact, there are studies wh…

I do believe many companies are employing this practice with freemium apps. There is something bigger happening here with freemium. At first we all called it "race to the bottom" p…

I enjoyed this essay and he makes some good points. There is this feeling though so much isn't said about context and results. The audience seems to be college students. I have bee…

Awesome job! Keep it up. Keep firing!

Since your in Denver I hope you are going to the 360idev conference. It's a great place to meet other devs, develop great relationships, learn new things AND find potential work.

OMGosh that is great stuff. Great! I just wish I could find it on pandora.

To me this just feels reaching. Sure, he does a good job of highlighting a problem but doesn't really offer any vision for a solution. But why go to Microsoft? GOOG 635.15, MSFT 31…

Sorry about that. I had my sound off when I saw it.

I feel that the end result of polished code isn't useful unless you can see the process they went through to get there. It seems difficult to retrace their footsteps.

I like to think about my commits as units of work that I can pull back or cherry pick if I want to. It doesn't always work out that way. Make sure your commits are cohesive to the …
