No, never.

This reminds me a lot of Jenn Schiffer's talk at XOXO last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wewAC5X_CZ8

Oh wow. I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure I'm the engineer at Pivotal that you paired with. I definitely remember you making reference to homoiconicity in lisp when we were pair…

It's reasonable within their own worldview, which is secretive and closed. I will gladly admit, that was one of the largest driving factors for me leaving the company.

I worked at Apple on OS X server in various capacities for a few years, and really loved the experience. As an open-source user and advocate, I was really sad there because they ha…

I'd be really delighted if you could show me a better tool for writing a parser, given a grammar in Golang than goyacc. You're absolutely right that the error reporting in yacc isn…

Woah, I'm pretty stoked to see someone link to my ruby implementation (neé Grubby). It seems like the authors of Golang believe that a lot of problems with languages (refactoring, …

What happened to the students that were culled? I can't even imagine what you'd do after getting dropped from a class you paid for (even with refund). That must be tremendously dem…

Confirming that my sample size of X Bootcamp students have trouble finding jobs. It's still a competitive market, but it seems like there is an increased demand for skilled talent.…

This same comment, except replace "Svbtle" with "Facebook" back when they opened up registrations for college students outside the Ivy League. It's not too far off from the much ba…

Not so sure it's this simple. The market is pretty large. Not everything needs to be so black and white.

A lot fewer tears would have been shed.

Isn't it a little early for April Fools' jokes?

Working on a ruby gem that makes it easier to use software defined radios. My goal is to let someone write a police scanner in 10 lines of ruby. https://github.com/tjarratt/turtles…

This is going to be at the Pivotal Labs office, right? I can't wait, that's an amazing venue for this!

I'm a little surprised that there wasn't a valid google cache still kicking around for any of those dead links.

... and what of the fact that there will be one fewer major carrier and the cost of entry is significantly higher? Do you even have any idea how much it costs to start operating as…

Do you really think everyone has 100+ hours to spend learning the idiosyncrasies of HTML and CSS? That's asking a lot for someone that just wants to put up a landing page for an id…

I'd actually disagree - I think the fullscreen support is really good. What didn't you like about it?

It's not just UI polish that make Apple products what they are though - it's the design that goes into a product even before an engineer writes a single line of code, or before a p…

The only location on the main campus that I think the general public is allowed into without a badge is the company store at IL1, although if you go inside you quickly realize that…

As a former Apple employee I cannot disagree more. Everyone at the mothership needs more sunlight, not less. I can't even remember how many days I got to work when the sun was comi…

Please post an update (or link to a blog post or something) when you do add this. It would be great to see that functionality working.

Hey @cgcardona, this is really cool, but the 'fork me on github' tag in the corner doesn't really work well on Webkit browsers. With the latest chrome, you can't see "fork me on gi…

>>>>> "... I think the reality distortion field will be at full blast for this book." That's precisely why I'd want to read it. There's something fascinating about peeling away the…
