Think more along the lines of "bad guys" vs "good guys" rather than corporate competition. Perfectly harmless systems are built everyday. But, the consumers of those systems may not always be harmless. Understanding - and eventually controlling - the inner workings of these custom systems [covertly in some circumstances] is often necessary to stop the bad guys.

teeceetime2 | 3 years ago | on: Namecheap CEO offers $10k bounty for changing someone else's domain via helpdesk

I'm way less upset by this than a large number of people in that twitter brawl. I can agree that this probably isn't the best way to go about things, but in the end, all I see is a CEO taking a firm stance of confidence behind his products - let's just hope this doesn't turn into a real bad situation for namecheap customers. Ballsy? Yeah. But pitchfork and torch worthy? Not really.

went out of my way to leave lurk mode and log in just so I could say "100% same experience for me"

teeceetime2 | 3 years ago | on: Music for Programming

If the task at hand were considered to be bowling pins at the end of a lane, and the ball rolling down the lane is me working towards completing that task, music is the lane bumpers that keep me focused and working towards the objective. Otherwise, every noise, conversation, and item on my desk would throw my focus (the bowling ball) into the gutter.

Serious question - Isn't the company opening themselves up to more litigation by ghosting? For instance, doesn't a hiring company have to have a legitimate reason for not hiring someone, otherwise they're opening themselves up to a discrimination lawsuit? "Because you gave me no reason as to why you didn't hire me, I'm now left to believe it was based it was on my ethnicity, which is illegal. So here's a lawsuit."

I'd be more inclined to give it a try if there were videos demonstrating it being used. Either on the project's website or YouTube. Otherwise, this looks like a great idea + project

An "Intro to Logic" (Pseudocode) class was required at my university before you could move on to any of the actual programming courses. It was a glorified linear programming course - think BASIC or BATCH with a bunch of jumps and goto's.

Perhaps this is only creepy for people who live in close proximity to those who implement these. I'd be lying if I said I would be perfectly okay with a next door neighbor deploying this. However, I image this being very useful & reasonable for anyone with more than an acre of land.
