For me, keeping it simple - I just maintain a routine. My lunch time is for exercise and I don't compromise on that. I figure out where 1 mile is and do my best. When I was 25, it was 7 minutes at 40 I'm happy to crack 10 and then

I did some front end work as a primarily back end guy - I've found that doing some nodejs has helped my core javascript altogether. You have to let go of your ideas about classical languages - but consider ES6, at least you get the cla

this is a good idea, creative commons so it's ok to scrape I think... I'm interested in using nodejs to replace bash scripting, I loathe doing any kind of logic in bash and I just want to excise it. No maven or gradle for build to

What can you show to prove you can program? Basically, you have to prove that you're a better bet than somebody local. So, build something on your own and leave it open source, then find postings that use those technologies and apply.

I would probably buy a house in the outskirts of seattle or denver for maybe 250K - tons of houses around 3beds, minimum 1500 square feet, if you expand the search. Then, start a private repo doing an MVP based on my open source project, th

I think you've highlighted the answer there - that working with shared memory is easy to mess up and that immutability and message passing both provide some attractive aspects. The thing is, not every problem is solvable (and to a much

no that's concurrency done right, used wrong. What do you want, immutable structures or event loop?

I tend to agree with your points here - if you end up in a conversation with that guy, I would also add: 1 Java does get concurrency right and the trade-off made in going to a single threaded nodejs process will appear (as I have bitterly l

I think it's time for this meme about engineering being a young man's game to die. There are plenty of events in the olympics with good competitors in their 30s and early 40s. The point being that we certainly haven't aged ou

well it's representative of my experience, so that is why I shared it ;) The hidden node here is that I took my first programming job in 1996 when I was 16 and I've been continuously programming since (also, I first learned on an

Using a single language on the front and back is a very nice plus, especially with ecmascript 6 support. My current job is doing that and it makes it much easier to break off features without having to get the server guy (me) involved. I pe
