I don't know specifically about the Bay Area, but everywhere else in the world having a bunch of short stints on your CV would be a bad thing. It also doesn't take many 5 - 15% pay bumps before you have maxed out what anyone is wi

Do 21 year old people at the start of their career really take home $100K in SF? Thats crazy. How much would a 30 year old with a masters in CS get?

This part apparently: "Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports ... If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic." But forgive me, I am, unlike you, not the type of person who finds a story about a Ho

Good. I wish all the people developing crappy and useless apps, flooding the place, would get banned. You publish 10 different apps where the only thing that changes is the youtube channel, and claim you were beta testing? I hope Apple and

Hibernate is free. jOOQ not so much. Hibernate can work with noSQL databases, jOOQ not so much. Also, there are alternatives to jOOQ such as QueryDSL (free btw).
