Careers After Tech?
theinfobox asks: "Is anyone else burned out on tech jobs? Or, has anyone tired of the never ending hunt for tech position? I know a lot of people who have and they are now looking at other career fields. I am almost at that point myself. What career fields are you considering after leaving the tech industry?"
It is a good thing you qualified that with per "clock cycle".
You know I would have stepped up to bat to point out that you have made sacrifices for mac that Apple is collecting.
I've collected a few more benchmarks if you care for another go.
If voting were effective, it would be illegal by now.
Oh, like the RC5 cracking that showed 800MHz powerPCs almost twice as fast as 2.8GHz x86s?
No, I'm not interested in discussing this with you. This is the kind of "I think I know what I'm talking about" pseudo-techie junk I was ranting against.
AS to collecting sacrifices, if you're referring to the quoe stuffed in my bio (for handy access) there is a critical distinction: I did business with Apple out of free choice, after rationally evaluating all the options. I did not do it out of some sense of collective obligation. (IF you weren't referring to it, then I don't know what you're talking about. I got the best deal out there, and I'm surprised that people will get emotionally invested in bad money decisions.)
Yeah, and you guys panned the ipod too: http://apple.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/23
So you're saying that you can't have a life and be a programmer at the same time? Do you really think that's true, and how long do you think you can continue to hold two full time jobs (as you put it)?

This is what he said, that's how the hell I can say that:
"I usually get home from work, check my e-mail, hang out with the family for a couple of hours and then later (after everyone is in bed) I get back on the computer. I usually only get 5 hours sleep a night. "
"My wife doesn't understand why I come home from work and immediately jump on a computer and then spend another couple of hours (outside of work) on it."
"Its a full time job - outside of your full time job - to stay proficient in this industry."
p.s. you're a moron. Come back & I'll smack you around some more.

Someone who posts an email address in the clear is the lowest form of scum.
you attack my skills - nevermind that you've never been able to back up your positions with facts- and then post my email address in the clear?
When I find yours, I'll be sure to route all my spam your way, pussy.
