any chance of sharing the repos?
I like slig's idea of making a CV version of this...
beautiful! a great idea.
i've been using it for years.
it's called "office politics" in a nutshell, and its constantly hovering around all workplaces.
i don't think it's possible to eliminate these sort of biases from group interactions...i personally think there will always be a bell curve of dislikes/likes among managers who see over a large group of individuals.
that's why it often pays, esp. in this day and age, to keep your employment options open.
amen...exactly...i just never hear this point brought up.
then take the cash, move on, and don't look back...in 6 months you will barely remember this whole event.
startups are risky...high risk high reward...it didn't work out but man, if you were good enough to be hired like that you can find 100's of opportunities.
your not fucked...there is basically an unlimited amount of opportunity out there for what we do.
trust me...i KNOW fucked...i got caught with some recreational substances a few years back and am probation for three felony possession charges. 25y+ of software development and it's impossible..IMPOSSIBLE..for me to get past any HR for ANY decent job.
so chill out...enjoy a week off...and get hired next.
in theory, you just need time, shelter, and access to a cheap computer to become genuinely prosperous
AND the desire...i think that's what a lot of evangelists seem to leave out of the equation.
personally, I think learning code is almost identical to learning to play a musical instrument. It is a very solitary development and THAT'S what is the biggest barrier to entry.
a lot of people just don't like working alone on things...imo
"All the evidence suggests that communication between people by whatever means, far from simply accomplishing its purpose, invariably breeds the need for more.)"
hmmmmn...ya think?
Because I totally would remember this and am much more likely to return at a later time.
i would totally remember what a waste of my time it was, so yes in that sense you are right.
dumb...pointless...the obvious strategy is just offer $1 until you reach the price floor.
hmmm...only 7 paragraphs in i had to invoke Goodwin's law and stop reading his screed.
yeah dude sure....you know how many people make this pledge every day? esp. after a tragic event or seeing a friend lose a wife or a job or financial security or succumb to drugs or something?
you're going to find very quickly its much harder to change then it is to blog.
best of luck tho...and I mean it...I'm not a hater
"...but it's not particularly idiomatic and the Rust elite would sneer at me."
OMFG..and in this day and age is soooooo much more important not to be sneered at by the "elite" then it is to have working code...
man do i miss the days when programming was about getting stuff working not worrying about the political and social impact of how your style was...
buy your kids a under $50 android tablet and keep the Nexus 7 away from them!
Plex has been a pleasant surprise to me...im wondering how the release of this api is going to improve the usability of it
"That said, I have a "I could learn that but I have stuff to ship" mindset about Javascript"
amen bro...amen.
"It's sort of like high school is repeating itself."
welcome to life dude, get over yourself.
LinkedIn is a virus.
