Sure they are... Your kid spends 6-10 hours per day under their direction. Often they spend more time with kids than the kids' parents.

I must be getting old

Of course, git was developed by an old guy that used CVS, so....

Diversity isn't about making personal changes to fit in with a group that is different than yourself.

>> I appreciate that you guys might not be statisticians and apparently very few on HN in general, seeing how this piece was upvoted. Google has been studying their process in the …

Another instance where silicon valley favors the young... he probably would've nailed this question if he'd been only a couple of years removed from school. He also would've nailed…

Because they were documented at all, at least in my experience.

I was on BOS around the same time patio showed up... It's amazing to see how "far" he has come. What he has mastered is marketing to developers, more than anything else. Of course …

"serious flaw" == hyperbole

Again, not the Steve Jobs I've read about. Having your factory retool weeks before you launch an unproven product because you don't like the glass? Not very pragmatic.

Being principled does not necessarily mean they are principles you agree with!

Nah... Lightweight processes were discussed as alternatives to waterfall way back in the 90s during my software engineering courses. "Rapid application development" and RAtional un…

Not only is it blatantly ageist... It's stupid. They want someone that has been building engineering organizations for 5-12 years, after having been an individual contributor. Then…

My "career" aspiration in school was to be a bearded, suspenders wearing unix admin/hacker. I don't ever want to get non-technical. I've been a project manager, and found the work …

I totally agree. If I'm hiring someone for my team, I need to see skill. Or smarts. If we're hiring an outside consultant, it's always for technical knowledge that we don't have. A…

So true. My Facebook feed will contain no less than a dozen 2nd amendment related posts at any given point in time, but nary a peep about the 4th. If you want to see action on this…

Oh yeah, definitely. I went deep into interviews with a big oil company, and when it came time to sit down with the Sr. managers, they did not like my philosophy on overtime at all…
