50% svého majetku

Dva slavní spisovatelé Kurt Vonnegut a Joseph Heller se jednou sešli na párty pořádané kterýmsi manažerem velkého zajišťovacího fondu v jeho honosném sídle na Long Islandu. V jednu chvíli se Vonnegut rozhlédl po všem, co je obklopovalo, a zeptal se Hellera: "Joe, neštve tě, že tenhle chlapík vydělává za den víc, než tobě vynesl prodej tvojí Hlavy-22 po celém světě?". Heller se na chvíli zamyslel a odpověděl: "Vlastně ani ne, mám něco, co on nemá." "Jak můžeš mít něco, co nemá on?", ptal se Vonnegut. "Vím, co znamená dost", pravil Heller.

No matter what you think people should think, there is always the literal message, your intended message, and the received message. Each is influenced by context, expectations, and knowledge on both sides.

identify interesting companies to work for

I don't find any companies interesting. They're just companies. They make things, move things, process things, sell things-bleh, no thank you.

You shouldn't just my life based on this blithe little story. It was meant to make you smirk, because things suck in our economy right now, and at some point we have to stop blaming the victims and start banding together to survive. I choose to make people think, and laugh, and realize their humanity-I am a teacher. I teach. I don't need to work for a company to do that.

A decade of experience makes you a teenager

2010-06-23T17:01:01Z

The programming equivalent happens around us all the time too. Junior programmers with five to ten years of experience under their belts (still n00bs in their own way) attempt to build giant systems and eventually find themselves stuck on the cliff waiting for a helicopter bailout, telling themselves "my next system rewrite will be better!" Or they fall off the cliff - i.e., the project gets canceled, people get laid off, maybe the company goes under.

Yes, I've gone through that phase too. And let's face it: even seasoned programmers need a little optimism and a little bravery in order tackle real challenges. Even as an experienced programmer, you should expect to fail at projects occasionally or you're probably not trying hard enough. Once again, this is all perfectly normal.

That being said, as a hiring manager or company owner you should keep in mind that "5 to 10 years of experience" on a resume does not translate to "experienced"; it means "crazy invincible-feeling teenager with a 50/50 shot at writing a pile of crap that he or she and his or her team can't handle, and they'll eventually, possibly repeatedly, try to rewrite it all." It's just how things are: programmers can't escape being teenagers at some point.
