The problem is opportunity has fled this generation of students. We have boomer managers with non-relevant degrees posting entry level jobs expecting 4 year degrees and five years of highly specialized relevant work experience.

Of the ten software companies I have worked at, I found that the best ones are run by people who write software.

>The truth in no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works.

Sure called that wrong.

If you are only changing the value of what an API returns, that is not a mock. It is a stub.

Why not write one?

I wonder if some of us are turning tech startups into the high school we never had.

Make sure to compare the price. EngineYard can be quite expensive.

I love learning, especially how to write succinct clean code. Clojure, like ruby, scratches that itch and is fun to work in. It feels written with the intent of making programmers lives easier through mastery.

Do you have any open source projects for others to learn from?

Used backbone a few times, always turns into a train wreck.

> China will really rise to world prominence when its common people enjoy free and fair elections, a free press, and good educational opportunity all over the country...

Why?

It's just style. I currently prefer mustache, but used to prefer something much more similar to angular (PURE templates). One is not any better than the other, just takes some getting used to.

TravisCI used to use backbone. Didn't know they switched away.

The hero is negligent in their duties and intentionally leave an app is a poor state to promote their importance. Are you sure you are the hero?

No need to be pedantic. The choice is more that just trivial display in and IDE.

For example,

Four space tabs are like a splinter in my mind.

A day is a drop in the bucket if it earns you 20-30% more salary.

The point is that the code is quickly piling up technical debt.

Besides just four files containing ~10k lines of code?

Just beware what you are getting into with Angular.

https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/src/ng/com...

https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/test/ng/co...

https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/src/ng/roo...

https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/test/ng/ro...

Developers keep pushing the envelope to make tools easier to use and people keep coming up with increasingly complex requirements.

Neither side is ever content.

Opening a PR to discuss a new feature before it is built.

Google search for Tencent brings up this article. Not sure if I even found their real site.

>They may have a bad year on their investments and claim losses, which can offset their capital gains.

They hired an account and learned how to hide the majority of their income?

This link works. http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/26/pf/taxes/high-income-taxpaye...

>I have worked with a few hundred programmers and I can only name 3 that where competent before 30.

Are you sure you are not committing the same ageist judgement here?

Why not judge everyone on a per person basis rather than generalizing in the first place. That is the real problem.

I've used Kafka, ActiveMQ, MSMQ and Tibco on long running projects.

An ESB can be incredibly powerful when you give a small developer team access to it and wait to see what they dig out of the data. We pulled realtime data about sales that no one had access to and it was enlightening for everyone.

When non-programmers use something like tibco, the results are abysmal. Slow overly complicated highly coupled mess that only one person will understand, the creator. When most people say ESB, this is what they mean and it is a tax on the company.

I think you could extend this observation even further. Business culture has a habit of sh*ting on new knowledge as being useless because businessmen often lack these knowledge yet still manage to succeed. An example of this is the general disdain for innovative approaches.

They fail to realize that the reason they're succeeding is not because traditional business know-how is useful but rather because crony capitalism allows you to succeed without innovation. However this advantage disappears once a market disrupter appears. We are currently in a golden age of innovation, but that won't last forever.

Another way to think about chance of getting caught. How many undergrads have you observed reporting their peers for cheating? How many do you think would do that in India.

This is one of those impacts of immigration that would be interesting to discuss. Given a society is defined by it's people. The introduction of a sub set that has a lower corruption tolerance, this must lower the overall tolerance.
