I agree the education system is completly broken more so for comp sci than anywhere. There is no need for 4 years of school. Why do you need bio and comunication. Before anyone say that grammer and english help you in a career look back at your college career did you honestly take those classes seriously. I have comp sci course I've past and haven't retain one word.

How many 40 year old software programmers could there be the area of science has only been around 40 years.

It's not the youngster who are jobless is the older software engineers who never learned to learn new concepts. The older programmer to so much time to learn everything from algorithms , to cryptography, and things that are analytical they forget about learning new technologies. Yoru comment shows why older people have difficult getting jobs. It took you a day to understand how a listview work while a good young programmer who understand technologies should be able to pick up any technology and understand it in a few weeks.

This seems like a very bad assessment of software engineering forgetting the cursial reason why older programmer have trouble finding job. The fact is that computer science is only really been a legitament profession for maybe 40-30 years. When it first was taught no one could of predicted the speed at which software engineering would become a dominate force in the world's economy nor seen how fast technology changes. So in the begginning computer science was viewed like math, physics, or any science it was taught so that you learned the basic first then you learned the newer and more innovative things. This is no longer the case. Yes most programmer will experience c/c++, some may even lean x86 and MIPS, but we now know that computer science require a constant change. It is no longer acceptable to just know c/c++ you must learn new languages all the time. Whether you decide to learn node,js, ruby, scala, or what ever cutting edge languages we are not groom to pick up languages in 2 weeks if needed to. Most great programmer are taught to teach themselves the newer technologies to stay relevant. Something I see my professor in college never really learned.

Nice graphics and the game was surprisingly fun. Reminds me of older game from kids website. The only problem I had was speeding up when I went to one tab then returned.

Radzell — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 09:04:40 +0000

I think the beauty of kickstart is that you lose you money, but in most cases you lose very little. Professional VC and backers know not every project ends up where you want. Not everyone succeeds. This way you lose a little money if it doesn't instead of a professional VC taking thousands on a flawed ide see groupon or pets.com. I doubt you would ever lose your shirt over a failed kickstart investment matter a fact backing for more than some extra money you have laying around complete defeats the purpose.

New comment by Radzell in "Dropout Generation"

Radzell — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 13:55:07 +0000

If your not a young person in this generation you know nothing about it. 70% of young people work jobs during college now and if your not rich is even worst. We are expected to just lay down and accept either a less education, less wealth, or to simply fail. 70k a year is nothing when you just racked up 50k a year in debit for 4 years. We built thing your generation most likely could think of. Is it not fair to want to go to school without working 40 hour weeks, graduate to job any job that you can use your degree, then be able to get house without having to look over your should because the previous generation started caring more about the rest of the world than it's own people.

New comment by Radzell in "Steve Jobs: Good Programmers Are Very Cheap"

Radzell — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 09:42:13 +0000

Programming skill is a diffcult thing to quantify. I personally don't think school is a good way of deciding who will be great at programming. I hired people who have had less experience who were way better programmer than my most experience guys. Personally I never had the problem of a hiring crunch because I have been willing to work with programmers with less experience on paper who turned out to just motivate themselves into success.

Thats not the same because iOS and android are both frameworks. Adding framework onto framework especially on mobile which moves so fast cause more problem than it solves because people start complain that google or apple broke there framework which shouldn't have been there in the first place.

How about you learn the native language. You will never get the most out of a platform without going native. Apps like instagram, any games, and the most exciting apps in mobile will always be native. Great programmers have the tools to build what needs to build.

Nice it's great that you used bootstrap so that if I change my bootstrap file it will change the module. Bootstrap for developer who aren't great designer has been a amazing tool. It has open my eyes to modules like this that gives my app the same feel.

Radzell — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 22:06:45 +0000

Before I even looked at the comment I could already see the back lash against this article. Hip Hop even the most simplistic is inspirational not so if you ideal life is different from those that make up the core demographic of hip hop. I for one am a entrepreneur, a start up owner, and a programmer who doesn't listen to rock or pop for the same reason some people don't listen to hip hop. Because the songs aren't relatable to me or my life. It's a good article just maybe the wrong dmemographic for it.

I agree silicon valley from what I have seen since trying to get into startups NY seems to be the more professional of the two more suit and button ups. Silicon valley is more technical geek and their startups seem to be more based technical performance. I personally being technical don't really like the NY mode but I can see why people like it.

I actually like dart and go more so than javascript. Javascript still has a leg up when it comes to libraries. If Go or Dart get a follow I would be happy to look into it.

I don't think so they just got a big pot of money through IPO now they are flexing their muscle. Google did it, apple did it, tech company of these guy size have lots of money more than they could ever use.
