Because, after ten years, he will get out and become a model citizen. Right? If you don't deal with the root of the problem, the monster you create will be your undoing. If the feds keep doing this, it won't be pretty. They are creating a lot of monsters.

Re:Vulnerabilities in dozens of Military and Pentagon websites on Sunday February 03, 2013 @12:59AM (#5158824)
I hesitated a while before clicking on that link. At my previous job, I was responsible for maintaining a ".gov" site and this post got me thinking. Is there a code of conduct or a professional response that is expected of a web developer who sees a post like this on pastebin? Are we supposed to just ignore it? Maybe click the link to make sure we are not on the list? Not click on the link? I know I would have been thankful if someone had given me a heads up if my site was on that list.
Re:Ask HN: How to get a job as an iOS Developer? on Monday August 13, 2012 @01:27AM (#4374673)
I'm in the exact same boat. About 15 years of web development experience, and I feel the exact same way about iOS development. Challenging, fun and new. My wife and I have a couple of apps in the App Store, but nothing too intense. Would love to hear some advice from others who started off with web development and moved to iOS development full time.
Looks fantastic! Balances education, accomplishments and ease of use perfectly. Well done.
