Considering that the current healthcare bill in Congress is nothing more than a tax break repeal to pave the way for more tax breaks for the wealthy, the Democrats will quite certainly fix that once they get back in power.
According to Slashdot, anyone making $100K+ per year or less in Silicon Valley is poor. Otherwise, no one would give me grief for making $50K+ per year.
You're always promising you'll be a centokilonaire real soon now as soon as you figure out to run nmap.
Then get off your 400 pound ass, get rid of the attitude, and do it.
I'm 350 pounds. I take public transit to work everyday from San Jose to Palo Alto. I rubbed shoulders with the homeless, the minimum wage workers who clean toilets, and the Indian workers who complain about heating their condos with 20-foot-tall ceilings. Last night I took the train home because the express bus was full and the driver wouldn't let ride standing up. There were more homeless tents along the river than there was along the freeway.

How many times have Apple demonstrated that "first mover advantage" is a fallacy by showing up late to the party, introducing a new product that's not radically different from earlier products, and raking in buckets of cash?
All the people who make $100K or less and live in Silicon Valley. Not everyone who live here is a newly minted millionaire, billionaire or zillionaire. But they're easy to forget when driving your luxury cars, living in your McMasion, and shopping at Whole Foods.
Are you really retarded enough to suggest that Silicon Valley is not one of the hottest tech markets in the world?
The vacancy rate for my 50-year-old apartment complex and the surrounding apartment complexes are at 50%. The last time that happened was after the dot com bust and the Great Recession. Looks like Silicon Valley is cooling down.
[...] you're still making 50k with 20+ years of experience [...]
One would think being rejected from a group of people for that long - someone would get the hint.
It haven't always been like that. What started things this year was when an asshat accused me of threatening to shoot him for six weeks straight and I kept pushing back. That's how you deal with bullies in real life, as they're cowards and don't like assertive people getting into their face.

TDD is about automating away the "virtual ditch diggers" of QA - you don't need a thousand monkeys staring at and pounding away on the software when your code has high unit & functional coverage, and automated acceptance suites.
I've never done white box testing, so I would never know. However, that doesn't excused programmers from not writing their own unit tests.
You should be thanking your lucky stars that your company didn't use TDD when you were there - you would have surely been the first one out the fucking door in the resulting downsizing of QA.

My late father was the same way. He just buys another Dell box and gave the old one to me. I would reformat the hard drive to use it as a file server. That changed when FreeNAS switched over to ZFS and kept crashing the Dell box. I had to rebuild the file server from scratch as ZFS had higher hardware requirements.

QA testers don't get bonuses to keep them objective during testing cycle and not drink the marketing Kool-Aid. It's not my fault that the marketing, producers and developers don't know how to schedule. I just add two months to their schedule estimates to account for the inevitable delays that comes from developing a video game on a unrealistic schedule. Only one developer got a game done on time, but they were the only one to submit a 256-page design doc (most are not thick enough to wipe with).
You sound like a petty, small-minded, intellectual weakling. How's that feel, friend?
You're assuming that I'll take your comment personally. I don't. Because posting on Slashdot is all fun and games for me.
And have your formed a plan of action around the feedback?

Go try writing similar software yourself, and see how you fare, before you start proclaiming yourself superior to them because you found some bugs.
You sound like the programmers I dealt with as a lead video game tester. All piss and vinegar because their title got delayed in QA for a crash bug that only happened 7% of the time (if I caught it, Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony will catch it too), and their milestone bonuses go bye-bye when the schedule slipped. Since I never got bonuses as a tester, I'm not sympathetic to a programmer who had wait longer to go buy a Ducati motorcycle.
Test-driven development. You should try it. I would have written fewer bug reports as a video game tester and lead tester video game tester at Accolade/Infogrames/Atari (same company, different owners, multiple personality disorder), and as a tester for Fujitsu and Sony.
Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: requirements are turned into very specific test cases, then the software is improved to pass the new tests, only. This is opposed to software development that allows software to be added that is not proven to meet requirements.

I'm studying for my InfoSec certifications and my next job will be in the $100K+ range.
What does that have to do with being a "centokilonaire"?
Startups that Wall Street will value at $1B+.
Considering what Silicon Valley is doing instead, is hunting "whales", I am not sure that is much better.
I didn't think Twitter was still relevant.
Considering that the current healthcare bill in Congress is nothing more than a tax break repeal to pave the way for more tax breaks for the wealthy, the Democrats will quite certainly fix that once they get back in power.
But no you're not one of those poor people.

Correct. For the kind of work that I do.

Read the first sentence you wrote.
Anti-virus.
Then read the second one.
Anti-spyware.
You now have my permission to feel stupid.
For what reason?

You seem to spend all your business hours on slashdot writing comments and having your employer pay for it.
As both an employee and entrepreneur, there's only one metric that matters: Do I get my numbers in each and every day? Yes, I do.
I am sure this is what your whole life has been - sticking out of the crowd, in a bad way.
No. I'm the guy who doesn't stand out in the crowd, surrounded by bigger and louder people.
What topic was everyone discussing here again?
Feedback I get from Slashdot. Thank you for your feedback. ;)
