   I think you are misinterpreting that advice. I have always heard the full saying as "hire slow, fire fast" and if you are seeking to build a good culture, you probably want to keep turnover reasonable low. Seeing many people come and go wil

   The article is kinda ridiculous, but why are you bringing gender into this discussion? It is irrelevant.

   I am in the same boat as you (dropped out after 2 years, then started working full time). I prefer to leave it off my resume because I like to address it myself in conversation (also I know who cares based on who asks), but honestly either

   I think "throwing in sex" and "throwing in derogatory content" are a little different. I didn't mind his writing style but the pictures (sans the monkey shot) and captions took away from the article. He's free to do as he pleases, but I res

   I'm a bit weary of video game development marketplace websites, as there's a high noise level, but I've had good experiences with the game dev classifieds reddit. http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedevclassifieds A lot of posts there are for peo

   I know some emacs users who post their config files on github (myself included). You can do a quick search for "emacs config" and get a lot of results, some better documented than others. See: https://github.com/search?q=emacs+config&t

   I would guess that's for other reasons. I often associate Haskell and Lisp with academics, and emacs with a slightly older crowd, and there is some over lap there. Of course, I don't think they should be strictly limited to these crowds, th

   I agree. Expanding your horizons is great, and if you get to do it with a loved one, that's even better, but it's not a necessary part of every relationship. I've dated guys who knew nothing about programming, and I wouldn't be ashamed to t

    I don't think meetups are a great place to ask about entry level positions. I tried this while looking for a technical internship, and I was most successful when I could talk about/show a project that particular founder was interested in. W

    My personal experiences are as follows: 1. I was also in a couple of gifted programs in school that didn't do much. They were fun at the time, but I don't really think they helped me develop much personally. 2. I participated in some out of

    I agree with other comments you need to change your wording on the home page. I'm not really sure who you're pitching this to, but if it's to a non-technical crowd you need to simplify it. It would also be great if you made a page with exam
