They're pretty annoying. If they want to get feedback, maybe make it prominent on the front page, but to have it right there on every single page - occasionally covering up other t…

Indeed. The author of this article is pretty badly misinformed.

you really needed someone to tell you that it's easy to contribute to open source?

The door close button in my previous apartment worked. Then again the door stayed open for an unreasonably (for a guy in his 20's) long time because of the number of elderly people…

Their last one was somewhat more relevant.

Yeah I'm pretty terrible on the phone, and I have over 5 years of professional experience (plus coding since I was about 15). So when I get to the part of the phone call where they…

I'm about 4 years out of school (no degree - 3 year diploma + some university). I'm a Canadian looking to go to SoCal preferably. I've been doing iPhone stuff for the past two year…

I feel the exact same way most of the time...
