I know I read it somewhere--it was a fairly well-known name in programming, and went along the lines of "In order to be ten times better at programming, help ten other programmers …

What would you suggest? That's the sort of thing I'm looking for to prepare for this meeting this afternoon. Have you found something that works?

This is helpful, thank you. We're not a small startup by any means--we are a company that predates the Internet by about 100 years, literally--but we are a small team (seven devs).…

We all agree that documentation is important, but none of us want to write it.

We're a small team, but just today I was in the middle of a Slack chat with someone and told him I was lost, but never got a response.

Thanks for your support--it's really frustrating. I'm looking at tasytt but having trouble figuring out what they're used for...

Sadly, while question-asking is encouraged, question-answering is not. I can't count how many times I've asked something--to the group as a whole or to an individual--and it's just…

After working at my current position for nearly two years (having been a programmer now for nearly four) I am frustrated with our lack of onboarding and training. To their credit, …

Sock go-fish is _genius_

Hi Mehr, I wish you the best of luck. I would donate gladly except healthy gay men can still not donate blood or marrow, despite there being no medical reasoning behind that. I'm s…

First off, $5000/week?!? I clearly need to get better at this fast. Thanks so much for your detailed response; posting this was a shot in the dark that I'd get anything at all. So,…

An associate has asked me to build an iOS app for him. I am a new iOS developer and this would be my first freelance project of any kind (I am a full time Python/Django developer w…

Will there be a recording of this somewhere? Would love to watch it but not available at this time. In other news, I'm desperately trying to find some part-time freelance work. I'm…

Yeah, must suck to have your life ruined and be denied opportunities based on your actions rather than your gender, race, or orientation like all us non-white non-straight non-male…

Ugh... I'm 36 and--according to Timehop on Facebook--just hit my 3 year anniversary of "Hmm, I wonder what it would be like to learn to code"? I have a good web developer job, but …

How about contacting local news stations? Seems like an interesting piece for them. I feel your pain--Comcast is the devil.

Hacker School has people of all ability levels. I was a total novice, and I got a paid internship with a startup after I finished. Now two years later, I'm still not making 100K, b…

Yeah, there were plenty of coffee shops before Starbucks. Just make your reward tags the best!

Also says "item's". We may be pedantic, but I tend to not trust services that don't have proper grammar and spelling. To me, it makes me wonder what else is sloppy and may come bac…

Simpsons did it. http://www.gametrailers.com/videos/6dbqbm/looks-like-homer-p...

I bought your book for my scientist lady-friend! It's awesome! Nice work!

I'm going to say one last thing and then move on with my life. It seems that most of the dissent revolves around asking that debates about when these things are pointed out be kept…

Can everyone see what just happened here? This is all it has to be. It was a cis-sexist remark. Now, I tend to make similar remarks and I also try to be aware of them, and there's …

So, in that first article, the point was not that the person used the sexist gendered pronoun, but _absolutely insisted_ on it. Here's my example, and if the person in question is …

That was not at all what I said, but if you need to make things up to stand by your viewpoint, have at it.
