- kaelyiesta, on 11/22/2007, -0/+36Let me be the first to say that the notion that the developer and the creator were never one and the same is just silly. Putting some managerial heads over the programmers doesn't make it any less their creation, despite who actually gets the credit.
- Snarfy, on 11/22/2007, -0/+30HTML? It's not code if there is no if statement.
- meshman, on 11/22/2007, -1/+25"One of the changes in Web 2.0..."
No such thing. Try again.
"No more are there developer and creator - they have merged in many cases."
Since when was it always the other way around? The world lives in color, not black and white. - floatingfoam, on 11/22/2007, -0/+21I Write Code: The Blog Entry
- jtbandes, on 11/22/2007, -0/+20We don't like to talk about that.
- sclark, on 11/22/2007, -1/+20And good lord let's start talking about how coders does NOT equal PC technicians.
- gr3yn3t, on 11/22/2007, -1/+16that's because it's a markup language.
- blumer, on 11/22/2007, -0/+13Pretty sure they did that once, but it was a terrible failure. It got overrun with unwanted advertising, harmful viruses, and egomaniacs. You can read about its disastrous outcome here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet
- D3koy, on 11/22/2007, -0/+6Yeah...we're way more evolved than that...

- mmazing, on 11/22/2007, -0/+4"I had the nickname "The Translator" for about 12 yrs."
I worked with douchebags like this for 8 years, glad to be away from them. I like the dark :P - jeff303, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3You're better off just caving in and making a Facebook app for it
- R2Bacca, on 11/22/2007, -2/+5Every article on this page is written by Allen Stern. Why bother putting your name on the article if you are the only person who writes the articles? Are you trying to disguise your blog as a more legitimate news source? Your grammar is horrendous and the design of your page is awful. Lame. Just Lame.
- fflush, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3someone should make a social network for programmers. i wish i knew where the python programmers in socal were ;(
- Terr01, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3... Uh, what?
Besides, everyone knows the real heroes were at PARC. :) - Chongo, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3Well then, lets talk about transparent PNG's... wait, lets not
- Hattrick, on 11/22/2007, -0/+3Amen to that. Case in point: one of the managers that gets credit for the work my team does stopped in one day and asked me to show him programming. After a brief pause in an attempt to validate that the request was serious, I pointed at some Java code I was working on. Point being, very seldom do you get developers moving into the management ranks, much less managers who can speak intelligently about the development work going on in their project.
The sitting in the dark thing is funny as well. The first thing I do when i move into a new office is disconnect the fluorescent lights.The hallway where the developers are in my company is full of dark offices.
I am sure it isn't just me but I am always thinking about personal opportunities any time I am developing something for work. The gears start turning and I will think about how to separate what I am working on from the idea I have to make sure my company won't be able to claim it. - Urza_the_Tyrant, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2IRC.
- fluxion, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2i writez teh codes plz
- LeeSoong, on 11/22/2007, -2/+4Tattoo on arm:
"Code To Live ~ Live to Code" - fflush, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2oh no no no no. that's the whole point of wanting a _website_, so I could filter out the weirdos and meet other intellectual people.
- chess64, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2oh hai. i writes teh codez too. i can b in moovment?
- amunimanghi, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2I'm stupid, wrong article.
- macoafi, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1How many times a day are you asked "why don't you turn on the lights?" I tend to sit in the dark on the computer too. Computers project their own light, anyway. My mom is always very confused by it. She doesn't understand how I can just walk into a room and not turn the lights on automatically. I don't see why she considers them necessary...
- kyleb, on 11/24/2007, -0/+1nate's followed the somewhat humorous interview up with an actual writeup: http://blog.bricabox.com/thread/62
- slazer, on 11/22/2007, -0/+1At my work, I do both. Plus networks. Not trying to be a Bragger here.
Just that I'm a Sayas. - macoafi, on 11/23/2007, -0/+1An assignment in my computer architectures class this year was to write C with no branching (loops, conditionals, switch, etc). That royally sucked. Assembly felt much easier after that.
- whuddafugger, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2"Bill Gates, meet Steve Jobs." End of story. Why waste all this space with some no-name company and some no-name developers? "The Translator." Bwahahaha. Yeah, right. None better than the aforementioned.
- nofactor, on 12/02/2007, -0/+0Hey man, ALL social networks have actually been made by coders.
Regarding Python, I think that you need to "import this"
The Zen of Python, by Tim Peters
Beautiful is better than ugly.
Explicit is better than implicit.
Simple is better than complex.
Complex is better than complicated.
Flat is better than nested.
Sparse is better than dense.
Readability counts.
Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
Namespaces are one honking great idea — let's do more of those! - luuneetoon, on 11/22/2007, -1/+1The description sounds like an E! True Hollywood Story, without the hot chicks.
- amunimanghi, on 11/22/2007, -2/+2It's running vista, of course it uses a lot of memory.
