The first I heard about jet.com was through this hanselminutes podcast - http://hanselminutes.com/494/jetcom-scales-with-azure-f-and-... . Their tech stack looks interesting and de…

In this case, the article is clearly a piece that's advocating coffee drinking. When research crosses over from "setting up and experiment and proving/ disproving a hypothesis" to …

> Proportions seem about the same to me. Are you sure the proportion was the same? Reason I am asking is because for people who are bad at programming, there are various process/ m…

Some really good advice here, zedshaw, thank you! One thing I might add is, develop a pipeline for writing (1) don't judge your first draft, (2) schedule time to review each draft …

I think the reason may be less nefarious. This election is a case study of how much reality can diverge from expectations. And how people can hold on to these expectations till the…

I am not convinced this is important. Look at the scale, against a base number of 12M+ facebook likes, losing hundreds is a rounding error. The OP seems to be getting the slant on …

@Jacques, the people who host blogs on your network are lucky :-). I wish more businesses emulate the good example you are setting by thinking about your "customers" success...

Signed up! Most programmers start-up something around the SAAS space, just because its within their field of expertise and I can see how a hybrid product + online app is a size-abl…

Just one issue with that. If Microsoft is storing the hash, how does it know what the original password was and whether it was greater than 16 chars? If the algorithm is as above, …

So do I hear a +1 for good social security? Looks like a very clear line from having social security and a safety net to leading in science, tech and inventions/ start-ups, which i…

@srean, I support your post as a balanced view. What the author has written cannot be the median view, given its paints India as full of hucksters, crooks and people struggling by …

cue the theme music for "Burn Notice" ... :-)

Its cool if the manager means it when he says - take this ninja and take pictures and do fun things and MEANS it Its NOT cool if the manager gives you this stuffed toy because some…

I think the author addresses this quite effectively in the article starting with: "I'm sure some people reading this are going to say "But language FrobBub has had NoduleFoos for y…

I program Go on both emacs and sublime text 2, very good support for both editors.

At that point, I would just drop the person who I dislike the most to the bottom of the bucket. After all, as a manager, I have no choice but to fill that slot, and given every-one…

Read the article closely it says "Every current and former Microsoft employee I interviewed—every one—cited stack ranking as the most destructive process inside of Microsoft, somet…

The major point the came out for me from the article is how destructing ranking people "against a curve" is. "Every current and former Microsoft employee I interviewed—every one—ci…

Is it possible that our reaction to techies and what they can do comes entirely from within? i.e. the geeks are not really doing anything to intimidate the rest of us, they are jus…

+1 on "root cause" being the field rather than "person to blame". "person to blame" pre-supposes that the root cause is a person, which is not true in most cases. While programmers…

"When Google was a young company, she worked 130 hours per week and often slept at her desk." - Nothing from the article suggests this is an edge case. Instead the author seems to …

IMHO, its not fair to compare Go libraries (at this stage) with the more mature implementation of libraries in C++ and Java. That will come with adoption, but even at this early st…

I second this. In addition, +1 for Eric Sink. Also check out "The Knack" by Norm Brodsky and Bo Burlingham. In the end, though, no book can prepare you for starting up,

I believe strongly in a set of "semi-religious" axioms (from advaita vedanta) that keeps me functional, productive and happy. I strive to be a good son, colleague, friend, etc but …
