Why would you say this? Is discrimination okay here as long as it's in the reverse?

Do you have kids or a mortgage?
I've been following Carmack since Wolf3D. It's always a pleasure to see what he's doing next.
Good on you for refunding the $200,000.
Agreed; I dropped my cable TV subscription last month as I've started streaming Netflix through my Wii. I would be willing to pay 10x what I'm paying for Netflix right now.
How does Austin, TX compare?
You like the job but not the guys breathing down your neck. So why not ask if you can work from home every other day to transition into a full time stay-at-home employee? Sounds like you get a lot done for them, if they can't accept that then you really do need to find someone who can. This could give you time to peruse Craigslist or other online sources for freelance work. There is a lot of demand in other places for web developers, if you can tap into that source you could do quite while.

A technical question, or a question in a tech job interview?
Non-technical: What are you passionate about? (This can tell you a lot about someone.)
Technical: How would you solve problem x? (Where x is an actual problem we have had to solve working on our application. Relevancy is important and cuts through the 99 common interview questions fluff).
In my company:
1) Works with business analysts to design and code applications according to business requirements. Intermediary between engineering and business.
2) Engineering responsible for architecture and heavy lifting. ie; build a framework for the developers to use.
3) Same as 1 with more responsibility.
4) Same as 1 except more experience/skill set is specifically web related.
Life's priorities certainly change. Before I had a baby, it was all about my intellectual pursuits. Now my focus is on how to be a better father. I used to be a big gamer. I sold my gaming system and try to no longer use the computer after I get home from work. Needless to say, this is a huge priority shift and is very fulfilling. I am less inspired to pursue risky dreams, but more inspired to plan for long term financial success. It is exhausting to come home after a long day and be Dad, get on their level and focus on them, but at the same time I have a new found energy that I never had before.

"My System" by Aron Nimzowitch - I have a decent size chess library, this is my recommendation.
There are free templates that look better than this.
