codr··on How to Interpret Ridiculous Web Design Job Posts
+1

Every job I've gotten has that line, or something similar.. and yet there are people there that can barely communicate, much less work well with others.

codr··on Apple starts 2014 with 41.6% US smartphone share, Samsung at 26.7%; BlackBery...
Marketshare is one thing.. but the more interesting number is the percentage of dollars spent by consumers on each platform.

(I believe Apple also takes the crown there, by an even longer shot)

codr··on PowerPointless: Digital slideshows are the scourge of higher education
An interesting point - but I wish the article wasn't a friggin' Powerpoint presentation itself.

I assume that is somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but still.. is it really necessary?

codr··on I want to get into startups, but I don’t know where to start
> "In English the male pronoun is the generic"

Indeed.. and that's the problem.

The times, they are a changin!

codr··on TDD is Behavior Specification
Which seems useless to me.. it's still the same idea, the same thing.
codr··on Apple's Mistake (2009)
> "Over a year ago iOS and Android phone apps were dead even in revenues. [1]"

From the Forbes article:

"A year ago, that lead shrunk to iPhone users being 50% more valuable – and right now, if the app is designed specifically for Android and some segmentation is considered, the revenue generation potential is the same."

That's a big if, and a qualifier to boot.. I don't think what that article is saying (potential for revenue can be the same in some cases) is the same as "dead even in revenues".

codr··on There is no gender gap in tech salaries
Looks like there's a 6.6% salary gap?

"When controlled for all factors other than gender, the earnings difference between men and women is about 6.6%, something most people don’t know."

codr··on Show HN: Meet Geisha
+1 I was gonna say the same.
codr··on Google's robots.txt
Apple allows robots access to everything! http://www.apple.com/robots.txt
codr··on Leaving Google
This seems to be more about telecommuting than about Google.
codr··on Paper – stories from Facebook on the App Store
For me it was just hard to find.. had to look for "Related" apps under the main FB app.
codr··on Microsoft please clean your store of junk
How does MSFT define "quality" though?
codr··on Mystery signal from a helicopter
this is rad.
