Front end specialist (Web), looking for senior-to-architect level engineering or combined architect-PM roles. 14+ years experience in software development, last 5-6 years focused exclusively on rich UX. JS debugging virtuoso, old school AJAXer (predating jQuery), keen interest in making software usable.
Prefers small companies over large, especially if they’re [made up of] small teams of smart people. If that sounds like your company, let’s talk.
That's correct specifically because in the absence of the ability to judge competence (the original research by Dunning and Kruger showed that those low in competence overestimated the competence of others as well as their own), confidence becomes the stand-in. So over time if you don't start with the most competent people in positions of leadership, and maybe even if you do, you end up with the most confident (and probably least competent) people in them over several refresh cycles.

Front-end testing consultant; I’ll help you get started with unit-testing your JS code, and running functional and integration tests on your UI, if you’re new to writing browser code (e.g. you were a Rails shop but you are transitioning your app to being based on Angular/React/Ember and REST services). The package includes infrastructure for your dev and build environments and training for your developers.
Other services offered:
* Service workers for your Web or mobile app
* Advanced CSS3: bevels/flexboxes/animations/gradients/etc

1. Make something users want
2. ??????
3. Profit!
Also, for S&G, this is the dot-bomb business model.
1. Put something useless on the Web
2. ??????
3. Cash out before the investors get wise.
4. (optional) Repeat.If you want to do really long essays (greater than 15 pages, say), I really recommend something based on parsing a markup language (TeX/LaTeX/troff/lout) because they're then easier to compartmentalize into multiple files and the numbering of sections and figures is automatic.
I'd like to see a regular search engine interface (tokens, strings of tokens, and an exception operator) with the ability to make any token in it a regex by surrounding it with a specific marker, like bang or slash.
In the same vein, most of the country never had a housing crunch like the Bay Area and metro Boston, but home building has been consistently outstripping the economy. Population grows at 0.9% annually, or about 2.7 million people per year; From 2000-2006, the net increase in housing units was 9.0% over the whole span, or 1.4% per year. In 2006 alone there were 1.8 million family units created, and over 2 million in 2005. With 2.3 or 2.4 people per household on average, there should only be 1.2 million new homes per year.
Unless household size is rapidly shrinking, there just aren't enough families to fill the houses being produced.
It does bring up a key point, though. The contacts that you make there are going to be generally government affiliated, which is fine if that's the kind of interest you're going for. Personally, even though I left a lot of friends behind around BWI, I have no desire to go back.
Maybe a more encompassing way of stating the saw would be "while a good developer can create what is required, a smart developer will use what is provided"
In Web design
here is a thing
to keep in mind
don't make things
hard to find
Burma-ShaveIf you're going to start a company, do it now instead of such time when the cost of health care has redoubled.
By contrast, I think one thing that DBMSs could make steps towards obviating is explicit optimizations. Instead, there should be support in the language for telling the DBMS what's important when you do your DDL, then let it figure out indexing, reclamation, replication, and batch scheduling. I see this as being a similar optimization to GC -- the runtime performance will initially be in doubt, but it will ultimately enable the creation of complex systems with far less human effort.
Notice that I said "known bugs from the beta period." If you haven't had a beta period, you're having one now -- you're not at 1.0. I align with the traditional camp that considers beta software to be on a feature freeze. They may not work right yet, but they're implemented.
