    I refuse to believe such a beast exists.

    I was going to reply the same exact thing. There are probably 17 dipshits in the world who are "brogrammers" and now the rest of us have to hear about them all the time like it's a…

    Damn, that is fucking stupid. Your post is bad, and you should feel bad.

    I used to have a boss who would tell me how I had the power to do anything, to change the world, with my magical software-writing abilities. He didn't understand why I wasn't out s…

    I just get tired of people's laziness and lack of attention to detail. Not because I'm a perfectionist, because it causes problems. It often falls to me to figure out how exactly s…

    Dude, it's a social networking tool like any other, except it's based around photos. You know how this works. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_networking_service

    Instagram doesn't use Facebook, and is instead its own network.

    Taking a photo is a creative endeavor, not necessarily an effort to flawlessly recreate how something actually appears to the human eye. Engineers frequently do not get this.

    I don't think Google is on a good path right now, but I would majorly hesitate to compare them to Yahoo. Yahoo has dawdled for years with no clear vision of what the hell they are …

    Wait, Android boosters always point out that it was around before the iPhone's release. Now we're saying it was created to keep Apple from controlling the mobile industry? Hmmmmmmm…

    Well, I guess that is pretty much what I'm thinking. The barrier to entry is low, but that just means the barrier to having your userbase taken by Groupon or LivingSocial is equall…

    Strange that there is still so much daily-deal stuff being worked on. Is this really fertile ground for a business? (Honest question.) Is everyone still reacting to the Groupon IPO…

    I guess I always thought it was a fool's errand to contribute to some company's corpus of knowledge which they will surely sell or profit from, and the only reward is an integer so…

    I guess I don't agree with our current reverence for creation. It's easy to create things and shove them out into the world. The work that comes after, though, is unsexy, unglamoro…

    I think .NET is great, and most of my career has been working in C#, but targeting Windows and developing on Windows is just a bummer.
