I'd rather work for the CIA, at least they have morals.

NO. You will break the universe. Do not attempt this.

Damn straight you can. It's about aptitude mainly. I don't have a degree and I've worked in the industry for 17 years now professionally. People always tell me I'm an exception but…

Thank God. I can rest now knowing that we've completed man's greatest feat. Adding this to my site immediately.

I chose a mac because I code for the ipad platform. I also have a PC for doing .net programming and a linux one for fun. I just love the unix platform as a developer. It's a develo…

You can ask but I wouldn't. Not because I think you don't have a shot but because who does timed tests via email? This isn't some goddam parlor game we play, it's real work. Since …

But they bought a good solid team and a great brand that can be reused in other incarnations. It's either that or compete with them. Not really a mistake when you look at it from a…

Well here's where they are very well represented - marketing and design. Two very important fields. Without those you just have a lonely little application or website. Never mind m…

This is actually easily possible because a lot of email clients are web browsers and we could take the html + js and apply it. The problem is this has already been done and lead to…

Although this is very exciting I remain highly skeptical.If anything this smells like a pump and dump scheme more than a legit effort. I hope I'm wrong. I really want to see this s…

Because they have no real work-world skills. Get those, get hired. Simple as that.

How about I just plop one of my robots onto the table? Is that "hacker" enough for the hacker club? :P

I have a much simpler reason - there's money in it. Besides, stick around long enough and you realize it's not the language or platform, it's the process behind the creation that d…

That's my reason and I'm certainly not ashamed by it even if there are a few starry-eyed fools here on this board. I program for money. Not to be on the cover of hipster hacker. I …

I disagree with the point regarding salary . You should always ask up front to decide if you even want to interview. Ask them a range and explain why - a lot of people waste time w…

Just don't use it. Did someone break into your house and force you to sign up at gun point? No. It's voluntary. Stop crying about a free service.

I love my notepads. I collect them then go back a few years later and see what I was thinking. Sure I can do that on the computer, and I do using things like google docs, but I lov…

No longer amusing to YOU. Plenty amusing to me.

That's a problem everyone should gladly accept.

Or maybe he did see that and avoided discussing it, instead deciding to keep a personal belief personal. Everyday doesn't have to be epiphany day after all.

Yeah it's an interesting battle. I've developed for both but I don't consider myself loyal to either. But this thing is becoming religious. I was a little ticked at first and rante…

Yeah some good points in there. But it reads like Tolkien.

Did someone stick a gun to your head and force you to read it? Your hostility is baseless.

I'm wondering if this is related to Danger and their ownership by Microsoft. I would bet most people don't know that Danger created Android and that was later bought by Google. So …

This is a great idea. Dijkstra didn't use a computer and he worked out just fine.
