Yes! There are still dumb-as-hell companies that can't imagine an app running in anything except Excel (god love 'em), and writing .NET is a PITA for Office. And VBA is dumb.

There's proactive and reactive aggression. Proactive aggression is the typical bullying of others based on what programming they do. It's basically just another way to pat yourself on the back, and people eat that shit up.

What's problematic is that the more jumping you do to avoid dumb workplaces, the greater the possibility that only dumb workplaces will be desperate to hire you. It's a no-win situation. Unless, of course, you can do a better job

Wow. After all the truth that's come out which makes everyone else look like a turd (especially Reddit's own users), you still can't find no love for Pao? Ask your doctor if reality is right for you.

But code is written in an entirely pragmatic environment. That means its value changes with time. But we don't treat novels as pragmatically. If all its references are out of date, we simply excuse that problem by saying the book exi

I really wish more help from human-computer interaction & cognitive psychologists would be used to design a programming language. The programming language is (to me) the most expensive part of a system, because it determines how the cod

You're basically describing stuff I was doing like 20 freaking years ago. Minus the Hive & Spark & Highcharts & d3.js - naturally. But back then I couldn't get any of my managers to understand or appreciate what I was

Well, you're always going to find people with different ability levels than yourself. So learning how to best deal with these issues will help your career. I'm almost certain people refuse to allow others to review their code bec

Perhaps they don't want to expose a lot of IT-dullard companies that still rely on VB6 to a ton of security issues. If a company is still relying on VB6 apps, it's very likely they neither have the talent, know-how, nor funds t

Can I please request a language that's at least partially designed by UI specialists, or psychologists familiar in cognition? Because, to me, it seems the most expensive part of a computer system is the relationship between the progra

It seems like a classic economies of scale problem. You want an aggregator to be exposed to the best stuff, but the guardian at that gate is a moneyed interest.

I think it's possible that people who tend to over-intellectualize, possibly are missing some tenderness in their lives.

Well, somebody frickin' wrote those threats. It did happen. And people who should have had the sense to see there were vile pighumpers in their midst did not moderate their nastiness .

I recall reading somewhere that the move to unleaded gasoline may have had an effect. Also abortion rates.

Sheesh, that's a bit like being asked "how can I learn computers?" It's a very broad question. Better questions might be "what within the domain of business knowledge do I need to understand in order to achieve my

I wonder if this would be beneficial for shipping. Maybe it could cut down on fuel costs? But the process to create the etching takes an hour for a 1" x 1" square.

I'm convinced that there is a highly vocal group (of young men, most likely) that are hell-bent on breaking Internet communities and even corporeal communities with their grotesqueries. And when they're challenged, they howl &quo

I've thought that Office Suite software has basically been a "baked" product since about 2007. I doubt 99% of MS Word users are going to need a feature that isn't already in the software. I mean, if that's what yo
