I say the same as I never really turned up to University, however I knew I wanted to be a programmer afterwards and people wouldn't speak to me without that Degree...

On a positive note: those Nukes are probably what has stood between many state v state wars which may have taken place over the past 60 years had the assured destruction not been there.

Ahhh not me! Every time I inform someone about this grammatical difference I get a warm smug feeling inside.

Please don't. If I follow one of those groups it's because I have an interest in that particular movie/film/book/sport/whatever. If your posts are no longer relevant I will unfollow you.

Seeing a city like that was so refreshing, it must be nice to live somewhere your attention isn't constantly pulled here and there, and where a sense of want is re-enforced every time you lift your head.

I can't see anything without signing up? How as a user should I know whether it's worth signing up for ? Or indeed what I am signing up for. A simple 'About' or 'Features' section is much needed IMHO.

Aside from this, once you're in it looks awesome. Like someone added all the great features that a project manager would want added to trello!

Yeah this would be a much better metric. I'm a "senior" developer who only has 3 years experience.

Look up RSD Tyler on YouTube. On the surface it can seem deeply insincere and shallow but I believe some of techniques taught they can be applied in all areas of life when interacting with people.

Web Dev here. I don't think the stack is broken.

Always go for the highest they offer. E.g. If you apply for a job 25,000 - 35,000 go for 35k. My thinking behind this is that it shows you're confident in your ability. Remember a lot of companies are big enough to incur an extra 5k of salary in order to get the very best candidate.

I'd say the above becomes more true the bigger the company gets... Small companies <10 employees this theory could well breakdown.
