What an utterly ridiculous question, one that could only come from the mind of an indoctrinated theist. Why do theists have children when there's at least a 50% chance they'll burn in hell for eternity? Wouldn't it be safer j

Sound like software development might be a good opportunity for your dad to put his analytical skills to good use in his retirement. I'd suggest finding an existing open source project that relates to a field that he has particular int

I wouldn't stress it too much. It used to be that a lots of places on your work history was frowned upon, but in my experience as a hirer, it's not such a big deal these days. It shouldn't affect your hireability in the futur

Yep, I'm the same. At my last company they tried many times to get me to take a big monitor "like everyone else", but I feel more effective on a single MacBook Pro with multiple desktops and the awesome trackpad.

Spot on, came to say exactly the same thing. If you don't trust the people you hire, then don't hire them.

The only advice I can give is from my perspective as an employer at a large SaaS company recently. As CTO I was responsible for building a large team covering various skills, including a large number of software engineers. My experience led

Simple, because Facebook are a threat to the entire way of life for mainstream press, so they will jump all over this, spin it and twist it in all sorts of wonderful, self serving ways to ensure their continued existence against the beast t

None, you'd be wasting your time and energy. Languages come and go, good software design principles stand the test of time. Spend your energy wisely, learning good core principles, which can then be applied easily to any language you g

Erm, that doesn't look like a blog to me, that looks like a simple transcription of Amazon adverts, there are no reviews, in fact the few posts I looked at were simple cut & paste of the Amazon advert, even to the point of copying

Smalltalk - the granddaddy of all object oriented languages, and still the 'most' object oriented IMHO. And the only language that I know of that is typically implemented in a system that offers image based persistence, which is v

Don't choose one language! Why constrain yourself? One thing I always try to instil into my teams, "learn to program, do not learn a language". If you focus on becoming a good engineer/architect, you'll be able to p
