hiccup

Thank you for sharing this fantastic tribute

Same, saw the code and thought are we trying to generate things like we did with UML. That also promised some English to UML to Code.

We’re seeing the start of Mr. Robot

It was poor Yoric. I knew him well.

Clever girl

I feel like his t-shirt is on backwards in the video. Does that add to the geek cred?

That's for the base model. They add $1M in gear to each of these.

I guess you've never heard of Pick'Em leagues. http://games.espn.go.com/champions-league-pickem/2014/en/

With Gmail down, now I get a chance to catch up on HackerNews.

Is it awful that I didn't finish reading his post?

Dude should've brought a condom.

#0 Don't pay anything close to what the employee is worth. Underpay, furlough, slow-pay your best employees to really build that desire to see if the grass is greener elsewhere.

I talked with a man who worked in a client's company. He's 60+ years old and doing front end development in Javascript. I asked him how he managed to work in an office where the average developer age is probably 26.

Here's what he said to get his career rebooted:

1) Never think about your age

2) Use the language you want to work in. He did a lot of little project for non-profits. Great experience, but also covered the employment gaps in his resume.

3) Become an expert - answer questions on ExpertExchange (he started 8 years ago, pre StackOverlow). He became one of the top JS guys on that site

4) Put up resources on a personal site - his EE posts would link to his personal site with CSS, HTML, and JS examples. I checked it out and a lot were still applicable. Date formatting and regex's never go out of style.

5) Hustle for that first job - he literally opened the phone book and called around for work. After his expertise became better known and the market for frontend work got hot, recruiters sought him out. All those EE links to his personal site helped his Google ranking.

So go do it. Don't blame your age. Work harder.

Nice plug. Bonus for relevancy.

This is also how cheese balls are made.

Do they even have profits to accelerate on?

I didn't know what Alice.com was. Here's a blurb from a press release:

Alice.com provides eCommerce and interactive marketing services exclusively to the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry. The company’s eCommerce platform allows CPG manufacturers to create branded storefronts that make it easy for the mainstream consumer to buy all of their household goods online. Co-founders Brian Wiegand and Mark McGuire have an entrepreneurial track record that includes three previous start-up successes: Bizfilings.com (sold to Wolters-Kluwer in 2001), NameProtect.com (sold to Corporation Services Corporation in 2007), and Jellyfish.com (sold to Microsoft Corporation in 2007).

My EC2 instances are still running fortunately.

This is in the context of Icahn announcing he had a large position in Apple and had a phone call with Tim Cook. This then led to a 5% increase in share price. Basically 2 tweets worth $17 Billion in Apple's market value.
