What is the relevance of resumes in the age of GitHub, Stack Exchange, Coursera, Udacity, blogs, etc.? If a company screens resumes like that, it probably isn't a company you want to work for. |

Isn't open source bad for developers themselves? Rails and such allow startups to be created that otherwise wouldn't have been by lowering the initial cost of development to something that can be afforded. These frameworks actually increase demand for developers by increasing the number of web companies. It is the startups that cause job growth and open source frameworks help startups. |

Isn't open source bad for developers themselves? In this case, IE6 was the best thing that ever happened to web devs. |

What are some examples of “wartiness” making a programming language more useful? That is weird, I think it's a fault of javascript in this case interpreting the string as a number then doing parseInt - more sane programming languages are fine with this (eg C#) |

What are some examples of “wartiness” making a programming language more useful?parseInt(031) --> 25 is not "wartiness" - it is the format many (most?) programming languages (especially C inspired ones) use for octal literals. |

Opposite term of indent This is what I've always called it at least. |

Opposite term of indent Tabs are more portable I thought - not all editors have "smart tabs" and it is effort pressing backspace 4 times to outdent once using spaces when only one time will suffice for tabs. |

Why did Git get so much hype? …while others don't? The thing about github is that seemingly everyone uses it; if I want to fork someone else's project they are likely on github which makes doing so (and the subsequent pull requests) simply. |

How do I create my own programming language and a compiler for it This looks fantastic - particularly the software. Is it free, I cannot see straight off from the site? EDIT: Doesn't matter, I'll get my college library to buy it :D |

Looking for unpaid interns (2) - am I crazy? +1: After doing an unpaid internship, I would seriously recommend considering playing around with open source stuff and making your own cool things that you can show off to future employers instead. And this comes from doing probably the best possible unpaid internships with super-interesting people; however, partly to my (and other interns) unpaid work they are now now enjoying success and fun after moving to San Fran - in retrospect it was really a role I should have been paid for. |
