Take a nice long walk to the store while it's sunny. About a 2-mile round trip. Pressure to have a "vigorous" workout is stupid. Sun + a nice walk will help you feel great. Slow down and enjoy the moment.
When you own your own currency, you don't need creditors. You can lend to yourself, and are thus not subject to forced austerity and blackmail. You simply increase the inflation rate when the economy is down, which Greece cannot do and Germany refuses to allow. Which is why Greece is in this position.
LOOOOL. Let's treat a DB/performance analysis, by someone who previously chose Mongo, as credible. It's well-established that Mongo is a clown boat, so intentionally choosing it gives you no standing to analyze other storage engines on a social medium.
Wrong. Google, Apple, FB. They're all solvent as fuck. The VC blame is cute but if that bubble burst, those giants would inhale the wreckage in a heartbeat. This isn't a bubble. If VC momentum slowed or if wage growth slowed, that'd just mean that smaller places can finally hire people. A plateau is all you can expect to see, and that's just wishful thinking.
REST puritans are intolerable. Solve the problem and move on with life. REST is a guideline, if you diverge [due to reality's potholes] then document it. You're done. Literally no big deal.
This is great! I've always wanted to hire Ruby developers who disdain JavaScript, and other impure "others", to maintain my website.
Why let not knowing what you're doing hold you back? Just because you don't understand how the frontend works shouldn't stop you. Or inspire you to learn new things.
Also be aware, there is something called "Objective-C++" which is a superset of C++.
The syntax is not "weird" unless you just don't know the language. Acclimation is part of the learning process.
In my opinion, the syntax/language is pretty great. I enjoy ObjC greatly. My main beef with it is that it's less than portable. ObjFW attempts to solve this, and is a phenomenal framework already.
