Creimer is too fucking stupid to post AC, but it wouldn't matter, because creimer's troll stories are specific enough that he would be recognizable immediately.
This is why I submit articles to Slashdot as AC because I get crap from asshats like this all the time.
He's not creative enough of an asshole troll to write any variety into his stories.
I don't think you ever read any of my published short stories.
Repeating itself is what creimer does best. It's such a shame since creimer was made obsolete by the invention of the tape recorder. He doesn't let his lack of skills stop him, though; he's got the gift of the gab, you see. A hundred years ago, creimer would have been somebody!
I suggest you never listen to Guy Kawasaki. He's been repeating the main body of his speech about developing a dog food app since the dot com bust. His delivery of the speech never gets old.
As a system admin with 20+ years of experience, I never understood this fixation on wanting to be a software architect. That's like a pitcher in baseball wanting to be a quarterback in football.
I can't wait to see the looks on the 25 year olds when 18-20 year olds start declaring that the 25-ers are "too old" to be in the business.
I spent six years as a video game tester from my mid- to late-30's. Most youngsters hired out of high school don't believe me when I told them that I played the Atari 2600 in the early 1980's since no console existed before they were born. I introduce them to "grandpa," who did have grandkids and built arcade machines in the early 1980's. I then introduced them to "armourer," who was an armourer in the Army and tested pen-and-paper games in the 1970's. Their heads usually explode at that point.
Re-read my comment. That quote is from the article itself, not the person (me!) who submitted the article to Slashdot. I know tech writers with master degrees who can write worse than that.
I don't think the Cisco certification cost ~$60K back then. The CCIE will always be expensive with the physical hardware exam going for $1,500 each and most people taking it three or four times to pass. Not many certifications that will get you a job starting at $250K.
By Slashdot logic that makes you one of the unskilled scum driving down wages in the industry.
Wages for virtual ditch digging is going up in Silicon Valley. Top rate was $25 per hour. I've seen positions going for $40 per hour. Most millennials don't want to drive more than 30 minutes away from San Francisco (i.e., Menlo Park, Palo Alto or Mountain View). Southern Silicon Valley is 45 to 90 minutes away from San Francisco.
So you're boasting having 800+ recruiter connections on LinkedIn.
That's 800+ recruiter connections from a 20+ years. When I do an active job search, I typically communicate with 32 recruiters and track 20 to 50 positions per day.
Isn't that like having a 20 page resume? Too much noise. I'd think twice about hiring you.
A recruiter was having trouble to figure what a company wanted in a candidate because the hire manager kept turning them all down. She asked me to go in for an interview to figure out what the hiring manager wanted. I went in with my two-page resume with last three positions in detail and ten years of positions in bullet points. Hiring manager complained about that resume which have gotten me jobs before and after the interview. I reported back that the company was in pre-IPO mode, so anyone being hired then would get stock options, and the hiring manager wanted a computer scientist at a help desk pay rate. I didn't get the position because I was too "corporate" for a startup.
C was made in the 70's and not standardised till 1989.
Not quite. I got a complier textbook I'm working my way through that was published in 1991. The C source code presented in the book is not ANSI C (C89)-compliant. While that source code might have worked on a Borland C compiler, I have modify the code to compile with GCC with the ANSI flag
I know someone without a degree wrote that summary.
I submitted that article as an AC. I don't have a high school diploma but I have two associate degrees (General Education and Computer Programming). The section of the summary you quoted was from the article. You can't blame for the content or the editor adding more from the article than fair use allows.
[...] it's how much the companies have to pay them vs untrained workers.
I work in IT support (think virtual ditch diggers). I have no high school diploma and two associate degrees (General Ed and Computer Programming). Except for two years after the Great Recession, I never had problems looking for work. I'm connected to 800+ recruiters through LinkedIn and get 20 emails or phone calls per day from recruiters. As a W2 contractor assigned to projects, I'm typically paid more than people with four-year degrees doing the same work.
The Roman Empire had the same problem. People from all over the known world came tramping through. Everything was perfectly fine until the Barbarians came. It went to hell after that.
Geez, Slashdot, you dumped the entire article into the summary. Fair use requires only a small portion of the original content. When I submitted this story as AC, I put in the first two paragraphs (89 words) for the summary. The revised summary has 337 words. Whatever happened to 120 words or less?
I certainly hope so if they're programming for living. Except for an occasional script at work, I don't program for a living. Understanding programming concepts helped me solve difficult problems in IT support.
We worked at a major company. This is my one experience.
Doesn't surprised me. I worked with an Asian coworker who claimed that he can be racist because he's not white. A walking HR nightmare in the making. Different strokes for different folks.
Trump has played more than 306 rounds in two months? So 5 rounds a day, that is a lot of gold alright.
As I pointed to someone else, the original article I read wasn't precise. Trump plays golf at twice the rate as Obama (every five days vs. every nine days). If Trump plays every five days for a year, the cost of security (~$120M) will exceed the cost of security for eight years of Obama's golf games (~$90M).

Those without college degrees require extra verbage to understand the point.
The educated needs extra verbiage. The uneducated just need a picture of a penis to understand.

Actually it was the Huns that pushed into the Goths and drove them to Rome.
I didn't think that the Barbarians were that diversified.

Perhaps they write like you.
Your comment need to be more positive. The AC strung two sentences' together. Not bad for a millennial.

My friend would then say, "Is that so? What about the burakumin?"
Ouch!
Steve Jobs handing out free samples on a Saturday afternoon.... I can't picture it.
It's also more difficult to wiretap a golf course.
Are you kidding?!

And, yes, they code way better than you do.

ha that's laughable . Obama was as left as it gets. son was everyone that voted for him.
I'm serious. Clinton and Obama coopted the Republican agenda, claimed it as their and implemented those policies. The Republicans are out of ideas.
We worked at a major company. This is my one experience.

The way you use nerd, it's derogatory.
I stated that my coworkers and I are not ultimate nerds. We're just regular people with too many things going on. How is that derogatory?
