Since moving to the Bay Area in 2001 I have been working at Pixar. Prior to that I lived in China and was the Chief Software Architect at AsiaInfo, the company that built China's internet. I studied computer science and worked in Texas for many years.
I've worked at two startups... the first was bought by BEA, and the second was AsiaInfo, which has now grown to 7,000 employees.

Why big companies use Perforce? Perforce doesn't have salesmen and doesn't do the wine and dine thing. They go strictly by their published price list at perforce.com/perforce/price.html |

How can I improve my communication skills? @Steve314, don't be too hasty to judge the book without reading it. It's been around for 75 years now, and it probably wouldn't have such staying power if there weren't something to it. I read it, and it really helped me to communicate my ideas and constructively deal with conflicts. You mentioned elsewhere you were diagnosed with Aspergers... you might be able to benefit from the book yourself, it will give you some ideas for bridging the communication gap that people with Aspergers (sp?) often have. But you're right, bad salesmen often try to use these techniques but fail. |

Is there a universal date format that anyone in the world can understand? This is great. I usually use YYYYMMDD for logfiles, etc. Now I can say I'm just being ISO-8601 compliant! |
