> As for the 'large' company, I think his definition is valid. Where I am now we're approaching 200 employees, and it's well beyond the point where everyone knows each other (there…

I spent the downtime trying to figure out how to use Jade without the documentation available -- the docs are in the readme.md on the Github repo. It was only later that I realized…

The icebreaker sounds like a nice new feature for Highlight

My school (Northeastern University CCIS) has a list of suggested salaries: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/co-op/employers/index.html#salaries Average CCIS Co-op Salaries Student Level Aver…

I've set up Gitlab at Northeastern University to explore it as an option for replacing our cgit install(s). I like the UI, but my only problem with it is that it doesn't support pu…

I set this up at my university to see if it would be a good solution for school-related project hosting. Haven't rolled out (yet), but as you said it's very promising.

Am I supposed to eschew powerful tools because there wasn't a UX guy involved in the project? If I cared that much about ease of configuration, I'd use Textmate instead of Vim, and…

Accepted! Flying in from Boston.

That's a really clever solution! A side benefit is you also get to leave the reporting method and report hosting to Instagram

As far as I can tell, there's not much of an advantage to Node over Rails, but Node has realtime built-in so I'll use it instead of Rails&EventMachine. That said, they're both real…

I use it for grading assignments (reading a .lisp file and writing a grade.txt file), as well as taking class notes. I also use it for editing config files (like for nginx) and dot…

What? Just use whatever you're comfortable with. All the OS dogma is BS.

I'd like to hear more about your setup. Why do you consider these essential?

This is the textbook for one of my classes at Northeastern. The prerequisite class used HtDP ( http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/ ) and Racket ( http://racket-lang.org/ )…

CCIS student here. I've only taken Fundies 1, but I really enjoy working in Racket so I'm kind of stoked for this.

Don't need it. e: I can code all night if I have to, and caffeine can totally help with that. I just don't need it to sleep deprive myself.

I totally want to, but it all comes down to cost. I'm a college freshman without a job, using my 2009 Macbook Pro's stock 320GB HDD (275GB used so far). A 256GB SSD is too expensiv…

Thanks for this!
