Yes, the growth in the webspace can be partly attributable to programming being more stable, more accessible to beginners. Do you think the hard part of any programming/engineering project is learning a new language?
Good read: this story has nothing to do with programming but everything to do with overcoming the loss of extrinsic rewards and putting yourself somewhere where your mindset and personality fits best
We have to ask ourselves: where is the money? Our rights aren't being lost to a sprawling military-police state just because there's a Big-Brother wannabe conspiring to destroy the constitution. Police departments grow the same way our project departments grow in engineering companies: by managers arguing for bigger budgets and spending more, sometimes wastefully, to justify bigger budgets come next fiscal year.
These hyped-up (sometimes roided-up) SWAT teams do what they do to justify their existence....no manager wants to preside over a shrinking department. It takes a lot of thinking and long-term policy making to reduce this perverse yet basic economic incentive
The U.S. and Russia are still large strategic and economic partners. There's other political balls being juggled around, like the ongoing conflict in Syria. It's not necessarily "leverage"
Neat! I hope physics classes today are getting more into using such web interactive modeling. Or, that the new wave of interactive books are leveraging this kind of ability.
According to his homepage, his books have been downloaded 500,000 times. Don't know if those are all paying charges but he also sells online tutorials.
i'm not sure if the audience is supposed to be clients or if it's supposed to be informational to prospective devs, but it's not a very welcoming/informational page to someone who isn't familiar with your service.
You're obviously not overweight but you're pretty light for that height, so I wonder if someone with a lower center of gravity would suffer fewer back issues? What if you used a laptop that you could move from standing desk to couch from time to time? Like after every 40 minutes?
I know they say that the chats aren't screengrabs, but why even make it look like they were? Text (and avatar) is just fine. Also, are these from a source different than the one BI had posted a year or so back ago?
I looked at the title and thought "good riddance", assuming it meant mediocre maintenence-only programmers were being replaced by automated-programming/systems, just as low-level lawyers can be replaced with document scanner/databases.
But systems programming seems to be an essential role that uptime-concerned operations will always want on retainer...
Am I being nitpicky in pointing out that this probably shoulda been done not using giant background images? I guess if it's not a web design company it's not a big deal...but it would raise a flag for me as a designer
