I'd like to toss North Carolina out there as a great up and coming tech hub as well. Cheap living and lots of software jobs.

Am I only one who thinks it's absolutely insane to advocate stealing from someone because some people think they are too rich? That is mob rule. You don't have a right to the wealth of the 1% anymore than they have the right to yo

I think it's more that C programmers don't really consider themselves part of a C culture in the same way that python, go, ruby, php etc programmers do. C programmers usually have another interest like kernel dev, firmware dev, or

I've actually seen the opposite happening. Organizations tend to favor MSSQL even though other free options like Postgres could do the job just fine. Large enterprises I've worked with such as hospitals, auto mobile companies and

"this company never gained anything from developing and pushing .NET" I would have to disagree. .NET has become the backbone of the MSFT developer experience and has gone far beyond being just an alternative to java. It's hea

The benefits or Microsoft owning GitHub seem to keep rolling in. The visual studio integration has gotten much better already and I'm excited to see how they begin to integrate github into Azure.

This is really more an issue for public companies than private companies. Public companies tend to make decisions that favor short term gains for shareholders in the upcoming quarter. It's a give and take, they initially get a lot more

Wow, I had to keep checking the url to make sure it wasn't the onion. That's an extremely toxic company culture.

I like their software. I get an opinionated *nix under the hood and everything just works. I can text message, my calendar syncs to my iphone, and I like a lot of the macos only apps (fantastical, iterm, forklift, transmit). I've used
