Dude you need a break from unit testing. Also stipulate doesn't mean what you think it means. Lastly I'll never accept "painful conclusions" on "good faith" because of "incomplete information."

That site has as much credibility as Brian Williams. I'll take a drubbing for this but her story has zero proof and is completely one-sided.

Using your logic then she should've taken the money.

What did she accomplish then? If naming him burns bridges does telling this story help?

His first video doesn't seem to exploit any glitches. His second video is clearly exploiting game glitches.

I'm just under thirty and feel the same way. Microsoft has garnered a lot of good will from young devs through programs like MSDN and DreamSpark. I remember being in school and hearing everyone talk about their MSDN accounts and being able play around with dev tools like VS and SQL Server. I also love working with C# on .NET.

I agree. Microsoft wasted great opportunities by trying to copy Google. I really think they've fixed that however. Microsoft seems to have its own identity as of late.

The same argument could be mad about Google and search. I don't think Microsoft will ever come out with something as big as Windows. Nor do I believe Apple will top the iPhone. For the next great profit generating product I'd bet on existing companies that aren't bogged down by legacy products. Maybe Facebook with Oculus or Amazon with AWS?

I really wish I could go to at least one site related to something I'm interested in be it sports, tech or gaming and not have to listen to this feminist propaganda.

An Aol merger or SoftBank buyout seem like the most likely scenarios. Microsoft might also be interested.

Truly amazing quarter.

Yes which sounds stupid until you realize they didn't own "Alibaba stock itself," Yahoo did. Yahoo could've used that money as it wished but activist investors held Mayer's job as ransom, and she just payed in full.

This demonstrates incredible weakness by Mayer. Giving away Yahoo's future in order to save her own skin.

This should mark the end of Yahoo. I expect to see a merger or buyout soon after this closes.

Initially I thought this would work great for development but then I thought of all the different colors in my IDE. Regardless I think this is an interesting idea to reduce eyestrain when looking at code, even if imperfect.

Surprised nobody has responded to you. Good job, I really enjoyed seeing your work.

Dead on. So many companies have modeled themselves after IBM that this type of bureaucracy is pervasive in most large tech companies that aren't Google, Facebook, etc. Nobody wants to rock the boat. Nobody wants to jeopardize the gravy-train. If something is blatantly stupid and you aren't directly responsible for it look the other way. Hell even if you are responsible but as long as it isn't too visible you're encouraged to keep quiet. What if you're given the go ahead to fix it but your team can't do it? What if corporate doesn't like the mistake to begin with? What if you're tasked to fix it but not allocated any time or resources? Nah, just keep your mouth shut.

Honestly I too would hate "that guy." This isn't his fault though it's corporate's fault. Just know this is how things work in tech.

I can't wait to get out of software development.

I'm just a couple of years removed from uni and I'm already planning my exit. My first corporate job was a huge eye-opener. This type of stuff left and right with zero career advancement and complete disdain from corporate.

I'm not even thirty and I plan on retiring and starting my own business (tech or other) by the time I'm 40. The only good thing about tech is that I can actually find a job and that the pay is above average giving me the opportunity to take the money and run!

It's a complete shame too because I enjoy solving problems through code. I love learning about new technologies. But everywhere I look software developers are completely screwed, absolute wasteland of an industry.

I've thought about it. I've seen these papers they legally have to post for a period of time basically saying they can't find an American worker for the job and have applied for a guest worker visa. It doesn't have a number to call however. If you want to say that's not the case you have to ask for the full application from reception which I'm not going to do.

They also only post the announcement for a couple of days instead of the weeks listed. The idea that they can't hire Americans is BS because I've been part of the interview process with great devs who I never see again because the company wouldn't pay a fair salary.

Training is a big problem in tech. When I graduated college two years ago I couldn't find an entry level job anywhere. Every company wanted at least 1 year of experience. I finally found a place that would give me a shot but also massively underpaid me. Two years later and I am a dev lead on a major project and they are begging me to stay (although they refuse to give me more money). I'm actually getting calls from big valley companies that turned down my new grad app like nothing.

Why don't tech companies (or any company really) invest in their workers and help them attain new skills and career advancement?

I am currently looking at jobs in NYC. With 2 years of experience I am fielding offers between 60k-80k in a cheap state to live in. Two comments above you make great points: (1) Developers should be making more than what they are and (2) Why should startups be entitled to cheap labor?

That being said my point is if I had the 5+ years of experience you probably are looking for and was moving to NYC I would expect to be making 150k+. Which if that is what you are offering, great. But if it's not then you can find the talent you are looking for, you just can't afford it.

I work for a company that employs a lot of foreign workers. They don't do it because of a "skills shortage," they do it because they don't want to pay higher salaries. Every American programmer they hire is underpaid and the rest refuse to exchange their highly skilled labor for working class wages.

Stopped reading after I knew this wasn't going to be addressed. I get that the author might not want to divulge specific medical information but the whole point of this idea is dependent on not being able to use your hands. I think it is a very important part of the story if you want me to listen to the rest.

Cool game. Please add an option to turn off the buzzing when your phone is on vibrate (should be default really).

Exactly my thoughts. There are so many dev tools out there but I can never figure out what they actually do by reading the info on their landing pages. All I get is a bunch of buzzwords and empty promises.

Really cool. Great layout and interesting articles. I'd post this on r/gaming and see if it gets some traction.

Really cool. I like the element of chance because you don't know what's in the box!
