This is the correct answer.
Did you read the article? The article was primarily about noise pollution.

The Panda is also a bumbling unskilled male who fails upwards while being supported by a female who put in years of work to build real expertise (Tigress).

There are lots of PM jobs where an engineering background would be really helpful.

Shameless plug: we have a bunch posted at datadog.com/careers. Take a gander.

NYC's airport transit isn't as good as other cities (Tokyo, Toronto, etc) but nobody who lives in New York would make that trip by car at that time. They'd fly from LGA or JFK or take the car.

Code that obscures network access is not good. How do you handle errors, retries, reconnects, timeouts, etc?

It's not worth it :)

"Toronto is already home to a number of successful venture-backed businesses, such as Shopify, KIK, ..."

Fact check time. Shopify's headquarters is in Ottawa. Kik is in Waterloo.

Zing.

Louis CK is from Mass and lives in Manhattan, so his Brooklyn tour is probably not what you're looking for.

Re:Typing.io: Typing Practice for Programmers on Saturday December 14, 2013 @03:03PM (#6906898)
Touch typing is like cursive writing. I want to be able to do it, but I probably never will, and I think that's ok.
Batteries included is a fine philosophy when starting a language to encourage early adoption, but at this point, I don't think it's worth adding new libraries to the stdlib. Here's why:

- It's very easy to find and install third party modules

- Once a library is added to stdlib, the API is essentially frozen. This means we can end up stuck with less than ideal APIs (shutil/os, urllib2/urrlib, etc) or Guido & co are stuck in a time consuming PEP/deprecate/delete loop for even minor API improvements.

- libraries outside of the stdlib are free to evolve. users of those libraries who don't want to stay on the bleeding edge are free to stay on old versions.
