That "overhead" is essential to keeping a team running. Hiring means the right people get brought in and the talent pool grows and a positive culture (say, blameless post-mortems, learning and sharing, etc.) forms. Firing means th

I'm shadowbanned right now, so I doubt anybody will read this, but I worked in EHR/health IT for a couple of years. "replacement users might love?" Users loving these systems is completely immaterial. The key to these sy

You'll see extra discrete instances of your finger, as though lit by a strobe light. This is how we used to be able to measure speed of spinning objects too. :)

If it was pointless there wouldn't be so much money in it. You sound like somebody completely out of touch with reality. People like you hurt our cause.

I'm betting everybody at mission control was sober when they lost both shuttles. Temperance didn't save anybody in the Appllo 1 capsule.

What did you expect? You didn't post about the cool sites you built. You didn't show off your code. You didn't add value . You posted bragging about "Hey, what if I 'collect' more domains? How much money would

How old are you? Are you supporting a family? Where do you live? What's the amount of your salary? What's the value of your equity compensation? How much time do you get off? (your benefits may not be as good as you think)

It's true though. What's your counterargument? Tired memes can be tired because they're true.

If you're joining a company because it's prestigious and looks good on a resume, instead of because you see the opportunity to do good work and learn from people better than you, you aren't a hacker--you're just some wan

I'd wager such people are in the minority. If your company doesn't let you put up dotfiles, or blog about some neat framework trick you learned, I'd be shocked. Folks that don't have the time/inclination to display

For folks that are interested in joining, feel free to swing by #lobsters on freenode and ask for an invite. You'll probably get asked for your Github, personal portfolio, or some other indication you have technical chops, and then som

Looks like both Joyent and Paypal pushed them off their platforms. Paypal has always been kinda scummy, but it's interesting seeing Joyent suppress free speech of paying customers.

How would you feel about having a taser in a collar at the base of yours (and everyone's) neck? It only gets turned on by the authorities if they see a crime in progress. It's perfectly harmless otherwise, right? If you're no

The discussion has been polite so far and it's not an unfair point. Earlier in the 20th century, German was the language of engineering. Before that, French. Before that, Latin. Before that, something else. Languages and their signific
