I keep hearing good things about Sublime, but I had no idea it was this popular. Maybe it's time to switch from Notepad++

May I say something regarding your experience with IIT-JEE? I know atleast three people whose parents had set their hopes unrealistically high about IIT. When they didn't get through, they just lost it. They completely lost every bit of co

I just wanted to add something to the discussion here.. A lot of sugar is definitely harmful to you, but is it sensible to complete avoid sugar everywhere as if it is poison? Isn't all this a bit hyped up? Example: I don't drink any proce

There is no harm in asking. I have been conducting interviews for developers in the past couple of days, and I have given honest feedback to everyone who came by. Although HR is not my full time job or specialization..

Even if they add another $30 to the price and it costs $60, its still a very interesting project. I wouldn't mind buying one.

I like the chocolate bar experiment. Even if the rewards were switched, more people would still opt for the "busy" option. That has very interesting implications: At times, the reward really doesn't matter. It's the process which is importa

If you are damn good with javascript, you already have my respect. And I am not just trying to make you feel better.

Working in MacDonalds can be a good experience. You learn how to interact with people. And maybe you could get a chance to improve your English skills there. Remember, there is dignity in every form of work, and you can learn something almo

Utter nonsense. A smart Indian CS student would never sell his soul to an outsourcing company like Wipro, Infosys and TCS. They are mass recruiters who hire people to show more headcount. Most of their so called "developers" are very poor i

If you are new to MVC frameworks, you can get started very quickly with Codeigniter or Kohona. Otherwise, it's really worth investing some time learning Symfony or cakephp. Another way to go would be to learn a ORM (doctrine) and a templati

Design can mean different things to different people. While you don't need to have a very flashy and attractive website, you do need a clean and usable user interface, and stuff like clean colors and typography.

There are several reasons. Depending on the startup, it may be one or more of these: * Older and more experienced programmers may need a bigger salary, which startups cannot always afford. * Older and more experienced programmers may be mor

I feel a person only enjoys his life if there is unpredictability, which adds excitement. I guess specifically asking others what excites them is kinda pointless. Just think of something which you may enjoy doing but have never tried, and

Yeah.. I hear that the languages themselves offer a lot of benefits rather than the frameworks. I have just read some quickstart guides on rails and django, so I guess I should spend more time trying to learn the language first.

I must confess that even though I have tried other php frameworks, I have never tried any other language for web development. (I used ASP like 5 years ago, but I guess that doesn't count now) I will give your advice a shot. Maybe not just

I feel tools like trac are better for programming related projects. Some people think its too complicated. Maybe there is a better tool out there.

I had a very tiring time with basecamp with my previous employer. I don't think basecamp is suited for projects related to programming and development. And it's so simple.

That's what I thought. But it didn't work. For example, this very topic never came up in the ask section. I have tried it a few times before too. And there are other topics in the ask section which are not prefixed with this. http://news.y

It is extremely hard to find a co-founder. And not easy to trust them too. If you don't know anyone, it's probably not the best idea to look for one. (I wouldn't) Again, this also depends on what skills you bring to the table, and what else
