    Caramel Brulée Latte, Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frap... Damn, that sounds nasty. I'm sure they are calorie bombs as well. Can I recommend a nice cup of coffee-flavored black coffee?

    I don't know the American market, but they are screaming for qualified developers in Europe and Asia where I work. I have been around long enough to know that if you are a good dev…

    It's possible, but you are limited in the roles you can take. Some companies don't want or are allowed to have their data in China. This is true for both US and European companies,…

    You can run Linux on iOS, so I guess it's possible, but the performance would suck I think. Of course, you would need a dynamic DNS as your IP would change all the time. If you con…

    What kind of "better"? If it's for my mom then Word any day of the week. If it's for a math student, LaTex any day of the week.

    Ha ha.. I don't have it anymore, but I also went through ML for the Working Programmer. At my university, some web apps were written in ML, but then our principal was Mads Tofte - …

    I'm a generalist that also knows business and UX. It does cut me off from some jobs, and I am fine with that, I would probably get bored by those jobs anyway. Follow your interests…

    If you don't feel you can program anymore, then you can move into management, UX, or analytics. That's what I plan to do, I'm not 50 yet but I am starting to feel tired of programm…

    It's true and possible. I worked in e-commerce before and you could argue, that I was optimizing our conversion rate, so more people would buy more shit they don't need. They shoul…
