I'm confused. I see the word "engineer" appear several times, but the company appears to offer MP3 recording technology and a "share" button. Where are the moving parts?

Thanks for the perspective. All of us greatly needed your two cents as guidance. Travels the world taking photos... whoop-de-doo. That's been going on for decades, and only because technology has only recently made it possible. Post again w

Leave Portland for Smug-n-Con Alley? Why on Earth would he want to do that?

Yes, many companies are guilty of it. It comes down to ego inflation. "Engineer" lends an air of prestige and esteem, but it's a title that's undeserved by most who use it in modern times. Of course, this gets severely down-voted because ma

"Engineer, engineer, engineer" Good thing you guys aren't a Canadian company, lest you be fined into non-existence. Seriously, folks, call your employees what they are. Programmers, DBAs, Sysadmins. I personally appreciate the work that Her

{Net,Free,Open}BSD... which one? All three? I'm a NetBSD user that uses a tiling window manager (i3 - not ion3, it's different). ALT+1 and ALT+2 are where I keep my urxvts, ALT+3 my web browser, etc. The switch happens instantaneously. Am I

All quotes save for one-liners are out of context. The points you make stand on their own. I don't dismiss the entire article; I appreciate thought and innovation in the space of the terminal, but I disagree with your ideas. Thanks for putt

"And we, the users, play along, pretending our machine is a video terminal presenting a grid of ASCII characters in all of 256 colours. This is ridiculous." Not everybody uses their terminal to churn out HTML pages and add 'Nyan mode' to ou

Every single time I see news about window managers, I'm surprised that i3 (i3wm.org) isn't mentioned. i3 is the supreme tiling window manager. It's mature, fast, feature-ful and it's BSD-licensed. This looks like an advert, but I'm just a p

You subverted your argument by including the term 'low-level'. Of course, that's all written freshly in C to this day. Assuming that you meant only 'non-trivial': aside from the embedded space, C and GCC still represent the first-tapped res

My suspicion is that this is not a C programmer at all. Claiming that you've "written loads of it" certainly lends the author a cloak of credibility, but I don't buy it. "This one, you really can't tell." A competent C programmer can absolu

I think that the GNU+Linux attribution is accurate and deserved. The author of this page thought it fair to use SLOC as his unit of measurement; I think that "fundamentality" is a far fairer unit. Anyone that thinks that "GNU" should be dro
