Human lifespan hasn't increased very much. Life expectancy at birth has increased significantly due to reductions in childhood disease and accidental death, but life expectancy at 50 and 60 have barely moved over the last 100 years. Pe

My experience hiring lots of engineers is that people with comp-sci or other stem degrees are on average much more successful at software engineering. Yes, there are great self-taught and code-schooled engineers, but on average they are les

My take is that WHAT you do and WHERE you do it are much less important than WHO you do it with. Building strong family, friend, and romantic relationships is all that matters.

My advice to 25 year old me would be to spend more time on relationships: romantic, friends, and professional, and less time on other BS.

Some thoughts: 1. Talk to a therapist about your stress/anxiety issues. This can totally kill an interview even if you're qualified, and is probably a bigger issue than your perceived lack of skill. Xanax or other anxiety drugs ca

I love some foreign authors like Murakami, but I always wonder what I'm losing in the translation and how much is the translator impacting the writing.

I worked for a moderately successful startup that got acquired and I had both options and grants. All vested options and existing shares were paid out as cash. Unvested options and grants were then paid out as a cash bonus on the vest dates

If there is one thing I've learned, it's this. It goes past money too, the same applies for open source software libraries, language choice, and even "design patterns" that developers use. Also applies to people. Your hi

It was a stupid idea, although remnants can be seen in html5 with elements like address and , nav, and section. Turns out that keeping presentation and data separate is much, much easier. Hopefully HTML 6 will get rid of everything except f

Start-ups suck. I guess they're ok if you're really motivated, and I spent some time doing that, but I much prefer easy corporate 9-5. Sure I'm not changing the world, but I get paid a fat paycheck and get plenty of time off

I usually start by reading either the docs (if they are good quality) or a book (if the official docs aren't great) and then I code something trivial after that. If I'm using it for work I will likely be reading and trying to unde

What is "PL"? I find it kinda funny that you compare to Python as the way you want webdev to be, since Python and JS are very similar in my mind, aside from minor syntax differences and JS keeping more warts from it's early d
