Completely agree! The antenna band on the back of the phone looks so hideous to me; that really is the deal killer for me.

This is seriously a first world country's software engineers problem. Anyone of my friends who is not currently employed as software engineer would do anything for that schedule and $100k/yearly salaries. I think sometime people just take too much things for granted; we are just happened to love what we do and get paid/spoiled a lot by this industry. Imagine this industry is not needed; I am sure you would be begging to have this flexible office hours.

From my point of view, work is the place I get PAID to learn something news from other. Someday, I stayed until 8pm or work on weekend. Does that mean I was forced to or get paid overtime? No, I stayed because I have the urge to learn and solve the problem. Now, if you think about work from that perspective then it wouldn't be so bad now, would it?

FWIW, I am not criticizing anyone but just simply giving my point of view and how fortunate I felt to be pampered from this industry. And just maybe, my view is different from others because I just graduated from college and always eager to learn.

Love what you do and do what you love!

"According to one specialist, the Web site contains about 500 million lines of software code."

And you guys believe that so call "specialist" without any proof?...What happened to HN? :/

"For example, when I see the wait staff at a restaurant running around to serve dinner, I feel these people as working much harder than any internet engineer you’ll ever see"

True but being a waiter doesn't not required much skills or staying up all night to fix a product blocker issue.

Unless you've heavily modified your rooted android then yes. Otherwise, at least for me, iOS7 is so much more elegance and eye pleasing.

Because they thought web development is just hacking together html and css; and you dont need any logic but just sitting down and hacking it away! To be honest, I used to have that mindset until I got a front end developer job. It is a nightmare to get pixel perfect style on every single browsers and devices. Not to mention, when we do a simple google search we can see so much websites and people offering to do "web developing" for such a low cost.

Paypal is crap! It's a wakeup call for you to move on to another payment service. They froze my account 4 months ago with over $1k in it. Reason? Because I had a donation button on my site, and my site wasn't a registered non-profit organization. Well no shit, it's a hobby/fan site and I need a way to pay for my servers and such. Not to mention, I did pay taxes on those so call "donation". Sorry for the rant but just move on; you can't win against their stellar dispute department.

Integrity is a big problem with outsourcing projects. How do you know that your dev wont make a spin off of your product or give you a little "present" within the code in case you decide to fired him? I am sure that the people who outsource their projects for $12/hr won't even care about legal binding.

Not to mention, integrity is just one of the many problems. So, I don't see why you should be worrying.

Indeed! but there is also some benefit with open plan. You can fire ideas and questions away without picking up the phone or walk down the hallway to reach your coworker cubicle or office. It also let you know your teammate better. With that being said, I am all for private space since I can think better in quiet place and dislike having people walking around my back and staring at my screen.
