I started the Wheel of Time series and am currently through book 3 and I am loving it.

While I agree they do get lost quickly, there is an "ask" link in the header. I check there every so often, but maybe I am in the minority.

If you want a bunch of recruiters to contact you. Put your resume on job boards like monster.com, indeed, careerbuilder, etc. It might not be the best way to get a job (as others have mentioned), but I guarantee recruiters will contact you.

I don't like the look quite as much in Sublime 3 and the ColdFusion plugin doesn't seem to work (obviously not going to be a problem for most people). Otherwise I haven't seen any issues. But I also haven't noticed much

One thing you can do is contact the organizations and ask for some documents about what they are doing with the money and other data. All organizations waste money or use it ways you might not like. But I think you have to do some research.

I believe the saying is, "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors." But seriously I do still have problems naming things. And when working with other developers w

Yeah I find it hard to believe that Amazon isn't #1.

It's never too early if you really hate it. You just don't want to get in the habit of leaving companies after working there less than a year. A lot of companies get turned off by that. The advice I got from multiple people was to

I entered not knowing what I wanted to do at all and ended up with a history major, which hasn't really been all that useful to me. I discovered too late that I loved programming for me to switch majors to cs. Now I am not saying that

>But many people are vastly overpaying for this benefit. Exactly. I don't have any issues with getting a degree. I think it is very beneficial both financially in the long term and emotionally. But you shouldn't overpay for it.

I see what you are saying and there are definitely certain fields where it makes sense to take on more debt than the $10k-$20k I suggested. I think another factor to take into account is financial maturity. Some people are better situated t

A Bachelor's degree doesn't really do that much for you these days. It's become like a high school diploma was 30 years ago (which almost no one paid for). I keep trying to advocate that people not go so far in debt for a col

In Chisinau (the capital), where I spent roughly a year, I would say that you hear Russian even a little more than Romanian (although there are definitely more Romanian speakers and people really like it when you try to speak Romanian). I w

I think a better question is "How do you make something people will use?" People want a lot of things that they won't necessarily use. Look at all the apps on your phone that at some point you "wanted," but now are

I became fluent in Russian after 2-3 months of living in Moldova. I had a crash course in Russian beforehand, but couldn't say a whole lot more than basic phrases before I got to Moldova and couldn't understand much either. Obviou

$15 million seems excessive. But that's the American dream.

Pretty cool. I couldn't really think of many questions, but I think it is a good idea. I wish Codey would respond with some funny answers to my nonsense though.

I pretty much follow news sites and comedians. I ignore the news links mostly and laugh at some (but not all) of the comedians' jokes. I am generally on for less than 45 seconds.

I grew up mostly with Windows with some Linux sprinkled in during college. I could never understand why people would pay so much for Apple computers. That being said I bought a Mac Book Pro for work about a year and a half ago and I love it

Kind of off topic, but iTunes is just the worst. Every time I use it I just become so angry.

Ruby on Rails is always a good choice. Ruby is a pretty readable language and has a pretty good community (so solutions to your issues will be more abundant than with some other languages/frameworks). Also not that hard to get started

That was seriously my first thought when I saw this news article this morning. I could not believe it. I thought I was reading a new parody site.
