Harry Truman ran a menswear store well into his late 30s

So lame. Reminds me of the weird Ukrainian backers posting videos of every house fire within 500 miles of Moscow and hinting that something nefarious happened.

There's conflict in America?!?!? Must be the Commies making trouble!

orangeplus | 10 years ago | on: Why You Should Hire Computer Science Majors

I've hired both CS folks and non CS folks for, predominately, web development in Java, PHP, Python with accompanying skills in devops and sql. In my experience, I haven't seen it as a positive or a negative, I've had both CS and non-CS fall on their faces and seen both excel. These days the things I am looking for are experience and a well used GitHub account.
