As mentioned here, it depends what your motivations and career aspirations are. Working at startups (worked at one mature startup, then consulted for a bunch of small ones) gave me experience dealing with customers directly and delivering h

This brought back a lot of (good) memories for me. I was new to Javascript and picked up MooTools to help me with my first big project at work. Really glad to find out that a lot of the MooTools devs work on React now!

It looks like it. There is the Ergodox ( https://ergodox-ez.com ) and the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard ( https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ ), which were/are both crowdfunded and have an ergo layout. I've a

I splurged and got myself a used Happy Hacking Pro 2 keyboard, just to see what the hype was all about. It's quiet, blank, and very fun to type on. I also have a Leopold Otaku with Cherry MX brown keys. It's not as quiet as the HH

Algorithms/data structures classes are a good start. I hear that the Coursera algorithms classes by Prof Sedgwick (Princeton) and Prof Roughgarden (Stanford) are very good. I think the Princeton ones might not be available after the Co

This book was something I found very fun to read: http://www.amazon.com/Code-Language-Computer-Hardware-Softwa... N.B. I did read the book when I was in university studying CS, but I felt like it was a good balance of histo

I've done a little bit of python and nodejs and quite a bit of java in Windows. It's pretty much all doable unless you rely on libraries that are linux only. Java was a little less painful than python and nodejs. Also, when I disc

I've used OpenShift and it's pretty straightforward to use. I don't feel like it's as easy to use as Heroku, but it got the job done. If I left my app idle (I think for 24 hrs or more), I noticed that it took awhile for

People have mentioned some great blogs! Another one that came to my mind is Jennifer Dewalt, who built 180 websites in 180 days to teach herself coding: http://jenniferdewalt.com/

I eat ramen a few times every month, and I usually add eggs (poached, sunny-side up, etc.) and green onions. My mom always made ramen like this. :) If I am craving niurou mian but don't have the time to make it, I add some soy sauce, s

Yes, programming courses get better and more interesting. The interesting ones aren't usually called "programming classes" -- they are usually some kind of theory or design classes that make you solve problems and build stuff

I started my mechanical keyboard search (or journey?) on an IBM Model M, but it was a little too stiff and big for me. I now use a Leopold Otaku tenkeyless ( https://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,tenkeyle... ),

Debian Wheezy at home (I learned Linux on Debian, so I guess it's kind of habit when I pick a distro); CentOS 6.6 at work. After hearing a few things about Arch, though, I will give that a try. :)

Started learning ReactJS by trying to implement a very simple vim interface. This is my first side project where I've actually gotten somewhere with implementing basic functionality and then committed it to github. The project isn&#x27

Thanks! I'll need to check it out for sure. I wanted to do all of them in the MI series but didn't get around to it. Lately I've been trying to play through some old games so I will put that on my list.

I played Escape from MI (which I am assuming is kiiiinda similar to Secret of MI) and Grim Fandango. Loved both. * possible spoiler alert * Both are puzzle kind of games. There isn't anything like the insult fighting in GF. Both st

1. I cook for many reasons -- to make balanced meals for my family, to save money, to get my mind completely off the daily grind. Also, eating out a lot throws my digestive system out of whack and I end up feeling unwell for days. 2. I&#x27

You might want to get a FasTrak (if you haven't already), if you are driving. It sure beats digging for change for the toll. :) Or if you carpool during certain commute hours, you can be in the toll-free lane.

It kind of depends what you're going to use those technologies for (i.e. what kind of webapp you want to build), but you can learn a lot about web technologies by building a simple blog, if you don't have something particular in m

Great advice about facing problems head on, instead of running or avoiding. I started doing that when my anxiety was at its worst, and I've been feeling much better since. I had been at the company for several years and felt like I was

Is there a way to go back to Katas that I've started working on, but haven't completed? (Or is that something I shouldn't be doing?)

Nice article. I got stuck on level3 and perhaps got close to finishing it, but there were a few unforeseen things that came up. I'm glad I did what I could for this CTF, though. This is the first CTF I've done, and pretty much all

If I've submitted solutions (or what I thought was solutions...) for the first 8 problems, and I don't hear back, does that mean I need to keep working on it? I did submit code.
