Some thoughts on how software engineering could be improved industry wide. I'd love some feedback.
Just got offered a full time gig in Mountain View the mid 90s in terms of yearly salary. I'm pulling a little over 100 in NYC as a contractor. The gig in CA, is something I'd like to do on a personal level so it has a bit more weight to it than just money.Curious what your guys opinion of that salary is. The cost of living is vastly different in computation from my own. So, an assessment of...
I'd down mod myself if I could.
It's an interesting question though.

Also Guinness makes their employment archives available to descendents of past workers, which is pretty neat:
=/ Arm units are definitely cool. Look at the maple leaf, and other Arm 3 based units. Very very cheap stuff. Very very powerful.
Arm is definitely seizing control of the embedded device market, and linux with it.
That being said, this is very much a solution services business. You will need more than core talent. A lot more.
Ford however, was one of the few who "took sides". They didn't just support the Nazis for economic reasons ( which is pretty damned horrific ), they actually hindered allied production purposefully.
Also, he got lucky. He built one of the first car companies and he did a good job at first. End result is he ended up being one of the big 3. Every industry has em. He was in the right place at the right time. From then on he had a large enough enterprise that it could run itself, all he had to do was sit back and not get too involved. Which he couldn't do. He nearly bankrupted the company and embarked on a bunch of inglorious economic escapades resulting in him being kicked out of the Ford.
I mean... jesus, who the hell taught you people history? How can you possibly look up to this guy FOR ANYTHING. He was a bull headed arrogant deceitful bastard who tried very hard to quite literally destroy his own country and his people.
