   Is that really the end game? Am I an outlier since I don't want to manage people, I just want to write code? I'm 50 and have been programming since age 13 and I've turned down offers to move into management, since my 1st lov

   I agree about 'no lyrics', at least in my experience, being the key to coding productively while listening to music. What I'm wondering is, what is it about music WITH lyrics, which interferes with coding? ... is it the lan

    I only made it about 1/2 way through the story, it's so awful I had to just close it and look away... I can't believe this is really happening right now in America, what can possibly be done to help people, that for the most

    I've always started by consulting experts, i.e. people who already know how to do it and can instruct you. Want to learn how to build engines...? Try working with a master mechanic for a while... this leans on the apprenticeship princ

    I'd like to formally welcome everyone to the world of a/b test-driven development! Nice easy-to-read high-contrast giant-font headings that seem legit: "Text anyone in your phone!" - Yay! that's exactly what I want!

    It's about trust, you either trust some central solitary authority, i.e. government, bank, etc... or you trust the majority of users -- to do the right thing. Think of it like a dictatorship vs a democracy. In the dictatorship one guy
