    Steve Jones - Editor (1/29/2009)


    The charitable act was a suggestion and I think it's a great one.

    Me too. It's always nice to be involved with a business that gives back....

    Congratulations SSC team and contributors!

    You have passed the mark where you have to push the flywheel yourself and your business can push it on its own. Enjoy the exponential...

    2. Don't involve end users in usability issues. They'll have strong opinions, but they're not experts, and so you'll never get out of that infinite loop. Develop an expertise...

  • RE: Risk and Assumptions

  • RE: Surface Possibilities

    As a non-gui programmer, all I really need is a command line prompt - and maybe a few consoles/windows to flip between. I am not personally very fun and/or interactive,...

  • RE: Open Source Pay

    I think that full disclosure is nicer for employees. They can use the salary ranges as grounds for complaint.
