I just asked Myra for a breakfast suggestion, and she told me to go to a laser hair removal specialist... don't think it's quite ready.

I'm not sure if I could agree with the "Outside the valley" comment. I live nowhere near the Valley, and myself and plenty of my co-workers are not credentialed. As a matter of fact, my current workplace is pretty much in a rural area. My last 3 jobs have had a pretty equal number of credentialed and uncredentialed employees. These companies all pay very well, and are well-known.

I completely agree. I am self taught, started learning code about 6 years ago, and I get recruiters contacting me and job offers constantly. It's gets annoying actually. A guy without a degree getting calls about 6 figure jobs on a regular basis sure sounds like he'd be in a different industry than the guy who wrote this article. When I hear developers with degrees complaining about how hard it is to find work these days I'm completely baffled. Software engineering is one of the best fields to be in today with an overabundance of jobs available. I start to wonder about developers who say they can't find work. What's really going on?

I bought this from Microcenter tonight, and installed Ubuntu 15.04. Works perfectly straight away. Love it. So deal. Much adequate.

I did a similar migration last year. Loving postgres.

I understand people's distaste for Angular, but it often really is the best solution.

Last time I used Neo4j in production with NodeJS we had only a few thousand nodes, and our heaviest query, which equated to a 2-table-join sql query, took up to 3 seconds to complete. We abandoned it and went with postgres...

I have similar experiences.

Agreed. I have only used TDD once as a front-end web developer, and I've found that I do struggle with the practicality of it. I spent half my time managing and maintaining my tests. When I did the math, It seemed that all that extra time spent was more than It would have taken to simply chase down bugs that would have arisen in a non-tdd environment. It just seems to take more time than is practical. Especially in agile startups.

Differents colors?

I got 1 wrong. Those algorithms still need work.

I'm really glad to see this. I've build a few apps with Sails.js and I LOVE it, but the documentation isn't great, and there hasn't been too many solid learning resources. This is good news.

I don't really know the market that well, but I've had trouble securing more than $85K as a full stack developer. It seems in Southern California that the max pay for that kind of position isn't much more than $100k.

My feelings are very similar to the author of this article.

I know how you feel, went through the same thing. Stress is a killer, and combined with poor health, even more lethal.
