    As a programmer who has gone the MBA route (will be done in the Fall), I have to say it's been positive for me. Not because I can point to it on my resume and say "look what I have…

    I'm trying it myself and love it. You can get real far in 5 whys. Speaking or writing it in a stream-of-consciousness fashion (first thing that comes to your mind) is quite insight…

    Ask HN: Do Americans stand a chance on freelance sites?

    I've recently started bidding projects on freelance sites, mostly for web design/programming. I'm bidding against people who will work for $10/hour or less and do really good work.…
