The payback period begins when you get paid at a qualifying job, and pauses if your work does. (ie. Lose your job, or decide to move and takes a month or two to land new gig, etc) …

The LDS Church builds temples in an area _after_ there is a large enough group of members in the surrounding area to ensure the temple will get used. There are very specific number…

This venture has nothing to do with the Mormon (LDS) Church other than the fact this guy is a member. The leadership of the Church will not acknowledge or encourage the project in …

This post is directly addressed to the tech industry in Utah, but the ideas are universal. It makes the argument for investing in junior tech talent. Thought it'd make for great di…

I love working in an industry where it's about what you can make or build on your own, not necessarily what your degree says. As a past junior high teacher, I'm really excited abou…

Great question. I've been in public education for 4 years, and am transitioning to working at an iOS/Javascript bootcamp. My experience from both has given me a firm belief that th…

I don't disagree. In fact, I agree completely with the author of the linked post. The symptoms he writes about are very real, and very damaging. I just think it's hard to expect ev…

Hey hey Tanner. Long time no talk. I've seen some of the stuff you've been putting out lately, great stuff. Apple has definitely made great tools in helping newbies learn. There's …

I read all of those same posts. Definitely concerning news for indie developers. But the reality is that even junior developers are making very good money working contract or full-…

Of course. No one's going to learn a thing by just showing up and listening to an instructor. Whether that's an iOS Dev Bootcamp or Physiology. I put in hundreds of hours beyond re…

I think I addressed this in the post itself. >So to say I’m entirely non-technical may be unfair. It just depends on the context. Neighborhood barbecue? Technical. Startup Weekend?…

Thanks Austen. I'm excited to be working on it.

Great review of Trevor's second year in the App Store. >Last year I wrote a post about the first year but here's a quick summary since you're busy: I made a Spanish Bible app for $…

Congrats Randall. Very cool. Here's to a great 2014.
