Tip #4 out of 5: Build original content. Shouldn't this be on top?

I just had a look at the original post (I'm a native speaker). It said that the government claims to be able, in principle, to partially decrypt PGP and Secure Shell. This is a vag…

This reminds me of Drew Curtis' "It's not News, it's FARK".

You mean guys like Romney, Murdoch, or G.W. Bush?

If you think that they just play a couple of standard moves and the "wing it", you are mistaken. They both possess very deep opening knowledge, as do all top GMs.

tl;dr: If everyone is famous, no one is.

There was a story on TIME claiming that plumbers can make up to 250k: "Americans want and need working pipes, just like they want and need their trash collected every few days — sa…

"he point is not to mop floors for $20, but to create a website (essentially a business) that solves somebody else's pain. That is the essential idea. Find a pain, fix it, charge e…

What is the reasoning behind this policy? It seems quite arbitrary to me. I know of people having signed contracts that say that their employer owns (!) all the code they may write…

Why do you think mortgages are reasonable? With a little luck, you give half your life's earnings to a bank. Much better to rent, save up cash, and buy property outright when you c…

This would be too good to be true.

Obviously, you have a very limited understanding of software development and the skill various areas demand. Further, your claiming that I have "offered nothing in response" doesn'…

You must be joking! The book you are referring to accompanies a course called "CS116". What about digging through some graduate school course catalogues instead? Of course Kernel d…

I'll quote you again: "There is nothing, in software engineering that can’t be done by other “non-genius” programmers. Further no one developer is greater than a community of devel…

"Any actual real professional musician knows good and damn well that he can get a beautiful sound out of an Alvarez and that only rookies have the time to make fun of each other fo…

Who creates the tools that allow, in your world view, average programmers to compete with "geniuses"? Further, you are the one making bold claims, so the burden of proof lies on yo…

Do you know who McCarthy and Alonzo Church were, what the lambda calculus is, and in which way LISP relates to mathematics? If this is all Greek to you, then please look it up. Nex…

This blog post is ludicrous. Seriously, how bloated does your head have to be to insert your own quotes in your blog articles? Check this out: "There is nothing, in software engine…

I don't tolerate a-holes who think I have to hand out a pussy pass to female developers.

I do, and that's why I can demonstrate to you how poorly constructed your arguments are.

You'd be surprised how much money plumbers make. Check this out: "Americans want and need working pipes, just like they want and need their trash collected every few days — sanitat…

So, do you know accept that there is a biological difference between men and women? It seems that you do. But now you claim that we have to "beat biology" to eliminate the differen…

Do a Google search on "IT needs more women", make a mental note of the number of hits you get, and then do a search on "Plumbing needs more women". Please report back which number …

So, why do they then quit? BTW, technically, we all start out equal. I was more referring to the progress they are making. Certainly, there is more than anecdotal evidence that wom…

Do you want equal pay for equal labor or equal pay no matter how much people put in? Men earn more because they work longer hours and make more sacrifices for their career. It's th…
