There is an easy solution and I don't know why so many companies can't understand this. It's simple, pay a fair amount and there will be lower turn over. Every employee should be evaluated every two years so that their sala

I agree that the current state of Node.JS is not good, however there is potential for a brighter future. The language itself is improving (such as ECMAScript 6 including yield/generators which will allow things like this https:/

Experience matters a lot in software development. For example, after many years as a software developer this is one of the valuable lessons I've learned: Outside data is ALWAYS dirty. There is no clean data. And part of the value of

I think this may contribute to a trend away from mobile native apps to web apps (or web apps in native wrapper like phonegap). It's already difficult supporting iOS and Android. But what if WP and maybe Firefox OS also gain significa

I remember a simple tactic that I used in the WoW AH to make some money: 1) Buy bulk of item X. 2) Divide item X into single units and post on AH with a markup in the price. People would then buy it because they would need only 1 or 2 of X

Most of the articles and blog posts about Google are about Mountain View. Does anyone know if the satellite offices are good? I think I've read some good things about New York, but haven't heard much about any others.

What happens to these developers after a few years in the industry? Is there an invisible salary ceiling they hit faster than developers in non-SV areas? Or does it increase at the same rate as developers in non-SV areas? I don't li

AngularJS is a level of abstraction above the old JQuery and Backbone style of app. It frees the developer from worrying about the tedious details of updating the DOM. For example, a typical old style app would do something like this:

Yeah it's similar to some Java technologies, especially Spring or Guice.

I think this depends on a developer's background before using AngularJS. I've used Spring (Java DI framework) for a while and AngularJS DI was easy to understand. However, the first time I was introduced to the DI concept, it to

This is a bad example. Why do that when you could just bind directly: <span>{{ someValue }}</span> And in the controller JS file do switch (foo) { case 'bar': scope.someValue = 'hello&#x

If technical competency has already been established, then there should be no problem with asking these kinds of subjective questions since it's meant to screen for a subjective area (team/culture fit).

Does anyone else think like we're already in the "core 2 duo" era of smartphones? I look at my galaxy s3 and the newer phones and don't feel much motivation to upgrade.

For me, what helps a lot with tech interview stress is to already have a job. It turns the tables so that I don't really need them, they need me. The change in attitude is powerful and gives confidence.

If someone is married and has children, then it's likely they've been working for a while (for example, assuming a typical graduation at 22 and kids at 30, that's 8 years in the industry). In that situation, technical interv

I've been a developer for 8 years. I have a good job already. When I get an email from a google recruiter, I usually think this: My free time is very limited and valuable. Google sounds interesting, but here are my options: a) Spend

ES6 generators will be the solution for callback hell in node.js. Node 0.11 already has generators support hidden behind a flag (--harmony-generators) and eventually it will be enabled by default. Generators + libraries like this https:&

The UI performance for your web app is impressive. Did you use any other libraries besides fastclick? Or was it a lot of manual work and research to make the UI perform well?

The "Buy Now" page has two options now: Google Play and Amazon. If I buy it through Amazon, do I get the 3 months netflix? Or is it only through Google Play?

The biggest issue with public transit in LA for commuting is the last mile problem. It's similar to the "last mile" problem of fast fiber optic cables to slow copper wires to homes. Here the issue is efficient and fast rail transit to ext

I agree that it's enough to know well one low level (or medium level) language and one high level language. For me, I decided a while ago that the two languages will be Java and Javascript. It was an easy decision since I use those langua

I wish V8 already had generators back when node.js started. It would've been a true solution to callback hell. There's libraries like async to help with that, but it's not as good as something like tasks.js could be.

I have a question about asm.js. My understanding is that it's only useful for (static typed language) -> asm.js, is that correct? It doesn't make sense for (dynamic languag) -> asm.js because there's no type information to optimize

I have a question for you since you have a lot of experience with async. Eventually node.js will have generators (when V8 implements ECMAScript 6) which should allow node.js to have something like gevent. What kind of effect do you think

Just curious, what were the tradeoffs for profiling the Python code and rewriting slow parts in C vs total rewrite in Go? For high level languages, the usual argument has been to rewrite just the slow parts in C or some other low level lan

I agree, but I think the age of the language and community is another factor. Java, Python, C++, these are all old languages with decades of history and habits. Newer things like Node.js and Go have no history, no baggage to learn or avoi

As I'm getting older, efficiency in use of time is becoming a very significant constraint. And I've found that learning a lot of languages is a waste of time. It's mostly enough to just know two types, one static, somewhat low level langu
