appendix_a | 14 years ago | on: How to teach my 8 years old son programming

trusko,

i think a graphical programming 'language' would be best for introducing the core concepts without getting bogged down by syntax.

have you found something yet? i'm interested to know.

appendix_a | 15 years ago | on: Loren wants to work at Airbnb

my chrome browser froze upon "inspect element" - perhaps that is intentional of the author to prevent me from seeing how he made those cute clouds move.

However, M1573RMU74710N makes a good point - engineers are tested on their code.

M1573RMU74710N just gave Loren the answers to the interview questions "how would you optimize this site?"

appendix_a | 15 years ago | on: Poll: Is linkedin only for consultants and the unemployed?

seems like the comments validate OP's point on Linkedin being big recruiting mechanism. Does it add anything more than being a Monster 2.0? I'd like to think so. It's a good global address book of my contacts.

However, the interface is quite bad. Linkedin could be so much more than it is right now.
