    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    The very few that does, reality is that in any company the majority of the developers suck, only 1 or 2 that has the productivity to cover rest of them. Doesn't matter if its Google or Apple or your local software shop, it's very hard to find good developers. I belong to one just like that...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    By the time you had that 5000 hour, most likely the technology that you are learning is way behind the curve already.

    What did you wish you were told when you were younger

    Read any of Ayn Rand's books, the earlier you accept her visions of the world, the better it is for you. Even though you won't agree with all of her visions, you can still apply most of what's in the book to the world that we are living in today, and most importantly, you can use what's in those...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    True, building software itself is a creative process, much like doing art or creative writing, but in a different sense. The only thing that developers follow from apps to apps maybe the design patterns each eco system uses, but other than that, a thousand different developers can come up with a...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Because when most people here said they are learning to "code", they simply mean learning the syntax of the language, little did they know that building an app is more like building a car or house from scratch, it requires so much more than just knowing the language, sometimes it takes years of...

    How do I SURVIVE a Recession?

    INVESTING 
    Depend on what you look at. This recovery is fueled with easy money and the only sector that has real gains are the tech sector, other than that everyone is struggling. But then if you really dive deep into how bad the problem was back in 2008, then you'd be like thank god we didn't have to see...

    Read 1 book 10 times or 10 books one time?

    10 books one time, because you always want to expand your version further. According to the 80/20 rule the best bet you have is that you are only going to be absorbing 20% of what you read anyways, so you might as well read as much as you can and spread out your knowledge spectrum.

    No, Robots are not taking your job.

    HOT! 
    Despite what you might heard or see, we do not have that much smart developers around. For a company of that small of a size everyone needs to be the 1% of the coders alive today, chances are slim. Software development is a messy process, not as simple as you'd think. And if you ever worked as a...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    But develop a software of what you want is so much more than just coding, if you ever worked in a software shop you should know this, coding is maybe only 30% of the work needed to come out with a decent software product. The one man app writer success stories that you see are all the best of...

    No, Robots are not taking your job.

    HOT! 
    You need capitalism first, then once technology reaches a certain point that's when you switch to the other side. But we are still far away from that, steady changes is what we need. Evolution not revolution.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I guess for people who is reading this thread, if there is one thing you can learn, is how important it is to think for yourselves, no matter how young you are! Matter of fact, the younger you start doing that, the better it is!

    We just had a major flood in Houston. What can I do?

    You help out a local in need for free, in exchange of telling this story in public, maybe get some media exposure. This will get you set up nicely for your business next time, because people love to hear a story, they don't want to be sold a service. Because flood might not happen often, but the...

    Absolutely man! I actually went to school for a half business degree, half IT, so I know what you talking about in terms of marketing, I watch Bloomberg TV while eating my breakfast every morning, it is always in my mind that I need to follow what the free market is doing out there, as I...

    Go To College, Why Not?

    College is worth it only if someone else is paying for it, doesn't have to be full. I got my college though the GI bill, and will get my masters now that the company I work for does subside for a master's degree. However it is not required for you to make it out there, but you do have to put...
