Same here. However, after a few months of not using it, she didn't care when I deleted it :)

Thank you, you made my day! Tall mocha :)
I just hope it's still around by Friday so I can put some money on it.

Just used it in the W Seattle area... worked.
I will put $10 on it next Friday (if it lasts that long).
SICP is Under Attack 15 years ago
Damn, I feel like I'm really missing out having only been through a community college for CS. This is exactly what I need.
I don't know if anyone else posted this already...

What have you developed in your spare time? 15 years ago
Not a valid opinion? Isn't there a difference between hiring a newly-graduated student vs an experienced programmer?
What have you developed in your spare time? 15 years ago
I think there is a difference between hiring students and hiring professionals. From my experience (currently in school), my peers that have side projects (including myself) enjoy programming for the challenges and would be, IMHO, better employees. The students that don't have side projects tend to be in school to JUST GET A JOB. They don't experiment with code and generally don't have a passion for it.
In the end, I think the author is correct when it comes to students (however, the author doesn't address the difference between students and pros)... Maybe not such a good idea for the in-the-field professional.
