Last I checked, DC people were moving into my old place because the rent was cheaper. I had a friend who shared a room with 5 people, and paid 1k himeself to share a bathroom and kitchen. I had a 2 floor window, and NY style loft for 1.4k at my last place, and a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment all for myself for 1.4k at my current place.
I did the DC grind for a while, but the people get on my nerves.
No need to deny the cultural DC/Baltimore divide--we all know its there. Last I checked the politicians (republicans anyways) were the ones looking to get on with the sodomy in the bathrooms anyways...
Nope. Baltimore. We are looking for a mid-level candidate. 80k is a lot of money in Baltimore. Not for senior people, though no one really wants to pay a developer 150k. Even still, I have only seen a couple 150k candidates that I'd be willing to hiring (actually, only one).
It's called top grading. Hire people infrequently (aka only hire the best), and fire often (aka fire those hire mistakes pronto). Top grading is one of those buzz words, but if you have a large enough team it will build a lean and mean team of kick ass people. Kick ass people means none of those people who you wonder what they are doing, because they are in fact not doing anything.
You say that... but read the article, and watch the video. That was fucking hilarious. One guy tried to cut tape with the shim from his collared shirt.
Coincidentally, the Amazon cloud was down most of this weekend as their datacenter in West Virginia was impacted by this storm on the east coast. The datacenter I work in (also on the east coast) was not down. I've seen the amazon cloud go down quite a bit over the years. This is another thing you have to consider when picking your host.
Yes, but what you get is the ability to run Native code, which is _alway_ better according to the original poster. I think this conversation was lost on you. I recommend reading up on some n-tier application design. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multitier_architecture

I am not in that man-trap. See my other post.

I have the same experience, though most people are offering similar salaries to what I have.

When is the last time you tried to hire a highly skilled IT professional? I think you must not be familiar with the turf.
Yea come work for us, we tend to do 5-10% annual salary bumps for the people who carry their own weight and then some...
I've been having trouble finding a solid backend linux programmer for 80k for about 3 months now.
Games are the only reason I use Windows at home.
...and clearly it all converts to USB.
Yea but the Manzier wasn't patented until the late 90s.
Or they need to make more intelligent people that wear collared shirts...

Just get a scramble suit from scanner darkly.
They don't have girlfriends, they have hoes.
Display and disk. Over the next couple years large solid state disks for home computers will become increasingly more affordable.
Because you are human, and you care about other humans. Otherwise you are a narcissist and on the fast track to corporate success.
And that's when I found FIX MY PC, the greatest website in the world. #1 recommended by the FBI and hackers a like!
Or better - all requests to lemonparty.org.
NOT work safe, in case you were wondering. That was awkward.
It's called a train. Live near one.
DotA 2 has a Linux client I think. I've seen a couple others around (possibly guildwars? That's stretching the brains recall though.).

I can see it now--what future archeologists are saying about us:
"We found his bones clutching an iPhone. He must have been one of these Scenesters we have culturally read about."
Who actually sampled http://www.last.fm/music/Edwin+Birdsong heavily for the song...
And you want to run Facebook in offline mode because...?
