If America was heading toward Communism, I would certainly notice.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, it heads back to the same feudalism that it tried to skip, not unlike Russia that was thrown into development of modern Capitalism that it also tried to skip.
Explanation for mentally deficient people: my whole point is that companies are expendable units of legal fiction and people who work there are actually important for society's continuing functioning.
Because every American citizen has a Gawd-given right to run over pedestrians anonymously. Unless those pedestrians are a group of iPhone-carrying hipsters.
Learning to find and remove all of the bugs takes a lifetime.
Learning how not to make bugs takes more than a lifetime, but some programmers can approach this condition closely enough. This is why they are valuable.
Sounds like something a mom would tell her kid after he shown her a drawing of purple cow with seven legs, twice the size of a barn and a big red "F" written in the corner by an agent of oppressive society that insists on following overarching theories.
I thought, it was obvious that the people listed are examples of top management (in case of Rick Belluzzo, top management of multiple companies) with no merit whatsoever.
My education is superior to one available at Stanford, but it does not automatically guarantee winning VCs' funding lottery or entrance into the good old boys network.
Providing potential foreign aggressors with information about secret weapon development programs *IS* treason, regardless of the UN opinion about legality of such programs. In itself, nuclear weapons development is not a war crime.
Fuck you. This isn't about hurt feelings, it's about sexual assault; reaching up a woman's skirt and grabbing her crotch is a criminal offense, and deserves prison time.
And there is a well-established procedure that is supposed to be used in response to such actions -- namely, screaming loudly "Get away from me, you pervert!!!" What any woman familiar with social norms would do if any of this actually happened.
There is nothing beautiful about Constitutional amendment that includes a right to lie with impunity and a right to have weapons useless for any purpose but killing small animals from a porch.
If you run some code or someone calls your library and it crashes, or locks, or otherwise is in an unknown state, you *have* to run it through a debugger to figure out whats going on.
Only if your code is shit, and you can't debug it with debugging output. And even if your code is shit, debugger is useless if the problem is triggered by timing.
Some idiots like to add "printf bloat"
It's very difficult to create a bloat by adding something that isn't compiled once debugging is done.
to their code to create some shit pointless log, which is one step removed from a debugger (hence, used by idiots or people who lack proper debugging tools).
Debugging logs, when they are needed, can run without affecting the timing of the program, can be produced when the code in question is called literally billions of times, and can include postprocessing of the data being logged. A former VB programmer single-stepping through a program would not be able to press "Step" button in a time an instrumented program (this is how this is called) will finish running and collect statistics on the piece of code in question.
Its obvious you have no clue what you're talking about and have never ever worked on any complex code base larger than a million lines of code.
Don't forget to tell that to Linus, who has exactly the same opinion about this, and seems to be doing just as fine without mentally deficient monkeys single-stepping virtual memory subsystem for him.
We (atheists) see "doing God's work" as something fanatical religious people do to spread their superstitions for the benefit of their religious organizations.

I see. Once stock market and real estate pyramid schemes failed, you are going to ride on a fat pyramid scheme until that fails too.
1. Establish a fat-based pyramid scheme.
2. ????
3. Americans are no longer fat!

I can't decide who deserves more contempt, financial companies of astroturfers like you.
Yess!!! Because it's the companies that make things, and not people who work there!
Morons. All of you.
NFC isn't a good answer for everything

Really, for consumer devices it's the next better idea after printing both sides of your credit card on a T-shirt.

That's "development", dammit!

Yeah, they can hire Carly Fiorina, Rick Belluzzo and Stephen Elop when he will be done with Nokia.
If high level management isn't important, where is your Facebook?
VCs did not give me a shitload of money to build a company that has no chance to survive for more than a few years.

their clients
Who??
Do they have any purpose other than to show some three universally reviled attributes and put a group of criticized people in the middle?

For Microsoft programmers it is.
I know, what can turn Microsoft into a decent company, but it involves mass murder.
See my previous comment.
