Please just no. Part of the charm of the guitar is that its this kind of organic piece of wood and metal that you have to learn to master to make sound good. A lot of the different character and style of different players comes from their different technique and how they learned to play which I think would be lost if you could just easily make perfect notes by basically pressing a button. I guess this is the same reason why I prefer listening to instruments like guitar, piano (real piano, not electronic) and saxophone and synth/electronic music I find all sounds similar and lacks individual character.
Also use pivotal tracker. I find it much better than JIRA due to its simplicity.
You can use a RNN to generate code, but not for any particular purpose. It would be syntactically correct nonsense.
Full integration tests (I.e. click a button in the UI, check that something was updated in the database) with Fluentlenium in Java and unit tests for directives/controllers/services (Angular) using Jasmine.
Software developer working at a fortune 500 financial company. 30 mins stand up every day, 1 hour retro every week and maybe 1 or 2 hours a week of impromptu meetings on top of that.
I haven't tried it yet (still running 7) but I use the git bash shell all the time. Can anyone chime in on what the bash in Windows 10 gives you that git bash doesnt? Not that I've really fully explored but git bash seems to have a lot of the common utilities (it has grep and vim).
I find gitx is pretty good.
I didn't go to a big name university. I did a 3 year college diploma that had coop. I had a job lined up before I even finished school and a few months later had 2 competing offers (one from a company I coop'd at). I think the key thing that helped me was being able to put work experience on my resume from doing coop.
Also I put a lot of effort into making my resume the best I could. Don't neglect this. It is the #1 most important thing you need to do when searching for a job.
You mentioned your intern experience being at 'lower tier' comonies. Are you maybe being too picky in where you are applying?
Seems to just be the nature of it. Every single project I have ever worked on was delivered late.

Seeing some recent posts of salaries for people at Google etc in what seems to be mostly California the numbers seem very high to me. I know cost of living can have a large effect on salary and I'm curious what developers are making up here in Canada, specifically the Toronto area. I am I suppose what you would call a senior developer (still only my 1st real job out of school, but have been...
Depends on the industry I suppose. I work in the financial industry and I have used linear algebra quite a bit and graph theory as well. I would say linear algebra in pretty important as it is also used heavily in graphics/games.
An HTML5 canvas UI framework. Not really serious, just wanted to finally learn to do OO javascript properly and see where it goes.
$65k + bonuses comes to about $75k. C# developer in Toronto.
One I haven't seen mentioned yet is
http://www.evault.com. Industrial grade and very feature rich. Can't really compare to other products as I haven't really used any myself, I just used to work there.

I'm seriously considering buying a Macbook Pro Retina 15" and plan on spending a lot of time in Windows, specifically with Visual Studio. I am a little concerned over threads where people have complained about "fuzzyness" when running Windows under non native resolution and scaling issues when using native (2880x1800) resolution with DPI scaling. Is there anybody who currently runs this setup...
After looking at the Thinkpad W540 the specs and price are pretty close compared to the MBP, but I think I'm gonna go with the Mac. It looks a lot nicer, is lighter, has longer battery life, has plus I get to play with the Mac OS which I have never used before.
+1 On the Thinkpads, never really looked at them before. I like how you can customize the specs a lot.

Given the recent post on the best Linux laptop I figured we could expand the discussion to laptops for Windows as well. I'm really leaning towards a Macbook, all other laptops just seem inferior in terms of hardware, but is it really the best option for running Windows?
A lot of reading blogs, articles, etc. online, and a lot of time spent in your spare time working on projects. Also working on things that are new and challenging to you. Also if you come across something you don't understand while reading and article or working on a project don't just skip over it, spend the time to really understand the concept.
