You can be evangelical in all positions -- make sure you do a respectable work wherever you are and people will respect you and your opinions. If the job looks better, go for it! T…

Oh no, one more of those stupid discussions. I wonder why it gets upvoted.

Man, I'd like to let you to know something: it's not about how fucked up you are, but how you deal with it. Just to begin, I live in the third world and you live the life I wish I …

We like the extremes, from clojure's metaproggraming, haskell's hipsterness, go's performance and lack of classes. Scala isn't sexy, it's like coffeescript for java.

Hello, I'd like to travel abroad and I'd like if somebody here knows about the current ruby job scene for foreigners in new zealand and how hard is it to get the work permit there.…

You can turn static typing on in clojure, bro.

Congratulations Hampton! You do an awesome job for the open source community with not only sass but all your other projects(like haml). I think this moment is important because it …

Very awesome! For those trying to get started with datomic I advise you to try it out with the pedestal.io tutorial, it worked very smooth for me.

I get almost 10 minimum wages with 24 and I think that I'm underpaid(and I am...). I was making WAY MORE money working as a freelancer than working for a company here but it seems …

history of my life, but i'm 24 and it has been like that since 10.

Keep your job and do interviews for companies in the $75-90k range. It won't look so bad as much as you think if you leave after fiding another job. You negotiated badly and they r…

Well, I think I'm going to be disrespectful and uneducated for a minute. Listen, don't throw me inside your "generation" when you mean "lazy american SF hipster startup guys". I li…

5-6h weekly. I live very away from work(2 hour trips) and I still want to get home and go to gym&OSS. But in the weekend I sleep a lot. Maybe 12h a day. I wish I could have more ti…

In Brazil it's around $20k.

nothing.

It's not so hard as you think to get into USP. Actually, it's kinda easy if your family paid you a good education by brazilian terms, which basically means you studied in ETAPA or …

Move to Sao Paulo. I had to, so do you.

Contribute to open source projects. As soon as you have commit access to gcc, you will be making at least $200k+ year, hehe. But seriously, devote sometime to create your image, wh…

1. Clojure: I should have learned this year(studied some, though). 2. Study more design patterns. 3. Some haskell/erlang.

I take nootropil, which is a nootropic that I can easily buy here(Brazil). It's well known for it's side effect of giving headaches if you don't have enough choline in your organis…

They are a consulting shop, so I don't believe they will have any problem proving that they can pay me for the time being. I'll try to find a immigration lawyer, nice catch :-)
