Actually I believe the term "software engineer" was coined by Margaret Hamilton while at NASA in the 1960s. Her Wikipedia article has some relevant quotes and references: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_(software_...

I suspect owners of smaller servers will be happier with it ;)
Absolutely.
Re:Adventurize - new Minecraft advertising service on Thursday July 11, 2013 @10:47AM (#6026331)
Hey! Developer here. Thanks for posting this. Adventurize is a new advertising platform that allows advertisers to display in-game ads to Minecraft players through a Bukkit/Tekkit plugin. It's also built with Meteor.

We're in beta for server owners now, for testing and to gauge community reaction.

Thanks for the feedback! Did you mean, post on the website, or post it on HN in another post?
We've just launched the open beta for Adventurize, which is a new advertising platform for Minecraft that allows advertisers to display ads on servers through a plugin. The website is built with MeteorJS, and is currently open for server owners only during the 1-2 month testing period.

You can read more in the official launch post: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1874092-adventurize-laun...

> I'll admit I'm a little confused, as my entry-level interviews never involved any questions about language or API trivia. If I had to write code, I could do it in any language I wanted and was comfortable with. And sometimes I wouldn't even have to write code, just discuss a problem and potential approaches. The solutions would never depend on library-specific knowledge.

Then you were lucky. A lot of interviewers can't get that far.

Unfortunately, the best RSS client I've ever found (Lightread on linux) also uses Google Reader as a backend.
