    Code is for human consumption. Believe it or not, some of us like to understand how things work.

    It is highly correlated to Trump, who has threatened to invade denmark not too long ago.

    There's a reason why startups always begin with a software guy/gal and a sales guy/gal. It all begins with a product and a sale. That's how you go from zero to one. Then if you're …

    I live by these words: “if the client could enunciate a perfect spec, they would code it themselves”. Software development is about helping people get what they want out of a compu…

    This is a false dichotomy. Software development has always been about keeping people in agreement, from the customer to the coder, and all the people in between (the fewer the bett…

    It's always been that way. They're looking for a senior at the price of a junior. That kind of job listing has always been around, and it makes companies look good to have openings…

    The rules are simple and ancient: noble blood breeds nobles; common blood breeds commoners. What’s sophisticated are the layers of ideology and falsehood that made people believe t…

    The problem with educated youth who understand the game is that if there’s no room for them to join the ruling class they become very angry. They will want to topple the elite so t…

    In a tech/biz duo his role should be to raise money and find clients so you can focus 100% of your time on development. If for you both raising money and finding clients carries ve…

    The ability and willingness to perform well on IQ tests is a metric which deserves adequate analysis. Taking it out of scope by conflating it with "potential" and "heredity" is a l…
