Won't this just make consumers hurt at the end? The most reasonable option as a developer is just to mark up the prices by 30% and then say if you want it the normal price, too bad…

:) rant appreciated. I actually harbor the same suspicions, but for the sake of general understanding it was the best way I could frame the issue.

Sorry, this is not your type then. I would definitely spend some more time to look into the applicant. Yes, for pure coders, this is a terrible resume. It looks like she is using t…

Its missing the social aspect right now - I can't find anyone (much less my friends).

Figuring out yourself is probably the best thing that you can do. A lot of people have the thought that their potential is limitless - this is wrong and dangerous if you equate hap…

I used to play with scratch to test it out. I really like it - it is a real programming language, but the big difference is that the blocks tell you all the options you can do whil…

Please put a tldr - cultural upheaval, the generation gap, and dynamic business shifts (like energy and the internet) create a transition period that devalues the older generation'…

I would add that the original article is the perfect example of why a top-down argument is a not a valid argument. In general, you should never start from examples and work your wa…

I think you're being close-minded. There's an underlying thought process that leads to these conclusions that you're missing out on. You're applying your view of the world to his c…
