His point makes a lot more sense in the context it was originally intended. He's not making a point about programming or debugging in general; he's specifically discussing tech sup…

A programmer working defense state-side does not make nearly those figures. 80 to 100 is much closer to what a software engineer with several years of experience makes working for …

I should not need to understand the subtle privacy interplay of several different and seemingly unrelated Google products just because I use one of them (Gmail). I entirely agree w…

Don't let the FUD fool you. It's "active" in that you can see other people's buzz posts and you get a buzz item on the left menu, but until you create a public profile none of your…

That's just silly. A confidence interval by definition is a range; the commenter is arbitrarily choosing to post only the low end of that range. If the high end were posted instead…

Isn't limiting this liability this one of the primary reasons for incorporating?

Seems a little involved just to get in on a poker game. :)

What if you're not, but would like to be?

IANAL, but it is my understanding that at issue here is the deal would (could) have created / extended a monopoly. Antitrust in the US does not disallow monopolies, per se, as you …

I'm not sure Joel wrote about this to brag; at the very least, he wrote about this because it made for an interesting / relevant entry for his monthly Inc.com article. I agree that…

I find that the the weeding your garden example has a more general analogue outside of content: managing code debt. The more mature a code base and the more hands that touch it, th…

"above average" in this context usually means median, not mean - i.e. "in the top 50%"
