I think product-izing open source projects is a long shot, but: I would go the SAAS route, the way WordPress.com does it. Self-serve DIY hosting and enterprise clients (the kind of stuff you'd have account managers for). There also is

I think this illustrates a mentality of undervaluing programmers. I think it underestimates how hard and intensive the job is. I think prospective co-founders do this exact thing to programmers . Why would someone go the extra mile, to wor

Here's why I advise extreme caution when partnering up if you're a programmer: If you have a co-founder or co-hacker that goes postal, off on their own, acting shady, behaving badly, for whatever reason, you're lost at sea.

Reading code is best. Downloading and building the code locally and running it (debugging snags along the way) is a helpful skill. Like this: Ever use tmux? What if the system your building tmux against doesn't have queue.h (found in F

This is why I say it hurts businesses too. If they're interviewing people and giving them trivia questions, they fundamentally don't understand the job. We keep docs open all day. That's what browser tabs are for. Even seemin

I disagree with the other comments. If you interviewed 30 times and are an expert in the field, you probably made up for the variants at this point. The culture today systematically lacks respect for seniority. You don't give non-stand
