I believe Bitcoin can't reach a critical mass in adoption unless a ton of companies offer it as a compensation option to their employees. That is the most effective way to get Bitcoin into the hands of many people. If it is a currency,

Technics RP-DJ 1200. It's hooked up to an Asus U3 sound card, which is more basic as far as sound cards go but better than using the built-in Realtek chipset found in my motherboard.

I went through the hiring process with AMZN in March and didn't pass the first tech interview so I've been studying for improving on that. I then submitted my resumes to Microsoft and NVidia and didn't get a reply from them.

Some of the big tech companies create the frameworks that are used by a myriad of other companies. These frameworks, incidentally are open-source and worked on by a lot of people for free. But do they have paid employees working on them as

While there is more room at the bottom, the downside to that is that there is more skills saturation at the bottom. So I'm looking for advice that is more supportive of my goals to be a more competitive programmer and in-demand by more

What is your opinion on companies that interview with requiring rote knowledge on frameworks, or even put it on the job titles (eg. Senior Django developer)? My city is full of these and there is the disconnect online I get from interview p

I feel like my BA degree has been mostly wasted (because it is an "unknown quantity" that has not a lot of worth on its own) so I am willing to take 4 years in CS since it's going so well for most people that did. Maybe I can

I've used C# for a few years and just started using it professionally this year. But never have used it for web dev. Is the .NET Entity Framework what is recommended today? What are some things I have to be aware of when setting up a w
