Some of the points you're making dont seem to make sense. For instance you say you dont have time to make interesting things but then say you only program 2hrs out of the day. What…

"The product (a place to sleep) is the same" The product is not the same its "a place to sleep" vs "a place to live" and they are very very different.

If you cant afford a hotel how are you paying for the rest of the trip. Im a graduate student and I can afford to travel and pay for a decent hotel. If you can't you shouldn't be t…

I think this is the best advice. A lot of these projects will force you to learn new concepts, algorithms, and they will give you a new way of thinking about problems. Learning a n…

Do you contribute to open source? Do you go to user groups? Do you network with other professionals? If you do any of those and are a competent developer getting offers should be e…

Why would you stay there for 45k and no benifits? 45k/year is a slap in the face for any decent developer.

It sounds like poor decision making to me. You should become really good at a particular area then migrate into full stack. I encounter this in programming all the time. People cla…

I think this an amazing question to ask in an interview and I have actually been asked this question in two interviews. I generally throw the interviewers off track though because …

I agree that the overuse of "passion" in programming job ads is kind of silly. The only thing about job ads that's bothers me more is when recruiters say "work on hard/challenging/…

I'm always bothered when I see these types of questions. Why do you feel the need to lead a young child to programming? Why can't you simply let the child be like all other childre…

I don't really get it either. As an experienced developer if I want to work on a cool project I either start my own or I go on github and contribute to something I'm interested in.…

I understand what your saying. I live in Chicago and things are pretty similar. I'm not saying that all drivers are correct in the way that they act. Many drivers are jerks about i…

The name matters with any consumer product.

As many other people have said it depends on what you want to do. You should choose a language for a project based on the project. With that being said there are a lot of jobs avai…

Impeding traffic flow is a law in most states and counties and is frequently referenced in accident trials definitions.uslegal.com/i/impeding-traffic/ You should probably at least …

The cyclist should pull over and wait until the road is clear or ride in roads with lower speed limits and less traffic. The cyclist is the one impending traffic and therefore shou…

I think this is a very misleading poll. Most people don't have the same definition of what back end work is. For isntace I do a lot of ai and machine learning work which I would co…

What do you call good proofs? I think what you consider a "good school" is not what I consider a good school. In my calc classes we studied tons of awesome proofs that were very ap…

Personally I would recommend doing a ms if you can afford it but if you can't I would recommend that you study the following areas Algorithms and data structures (this is a must) S…

I think your off base with this. A good school with a good theoretical cs program will always require up to multivariable calc, linear algebra, stats with calc, and discrete math. …
