If you like to code, you are not a seasoned programmer. I don't like coding. I like telling programmers what to do, thus I'm the boss 0:-) Ooh, and I also like to spout out long-winded war stories. Who's your daddy?

Why can't you have both? Maybe a different design would become apparent while developing the product, as opposed to being discovered in the analysis phase. (I'm assuming you are talking about a process with a large and separate analysis pha

Government regulation will not stop this, it's top secret. Just give the NSA less money.

I've seen plenty of extroverts who are bad team members. I've seen plenty of introverts who are effective communicators.

Nice straw man. The originating subject was on taxes (since it takes more than a city to provide all of those services), not only SF taxes :-) San Francisco residents live in the United States of America. The United States of America impose

I don't appreciate the extravagant waste and the entitlement of the state to impose it's will on the people. With our taxes, we also support bailouts, wars, and other profiteering of those in control. Also, these institutions are basically

San Francisco needs to run the city more efficiently. I'm tired of paying lazy lifers to do nothing but collect extravagant salaries and lifetime benefits. Work hard for a living dammit. We do.
