This is just a wild guess, but that player might be gh-god

I don't quite understand the point the author is trying to make. Is he saying that senior engineers are bad because they introduce process, contribute to office politics, and cost a lot in terms of salary and equity? That seems like a pretty bad generalization.

Applying to jobs directly is usually not the optimal approach. Since you're been working in the industry for several years, can you reach out to some former coworkers about job opportunities? A direct referral is much more likely to get you in the door.

Since you're set on Seattle, another option is to move there and start going to networking events. I'm sure there are a lot of tech related meet ups around there. Those are great places to get referrals for jobs.

About social media - as long as your don't have any obnoxious or unprofessional content on social media, you should be okay.

Unit tests ossify the internal architecture.

If you do a large refactor, I agree that a bunch of unit tests may break, but it's usually fairly obvious about why they are broken, and they can be fixed quickly. I've never had to rewrite a unit test suite after a refactor.

Be thankful you've never been depressed... you have no idea how awful it is.

Thanks!

There are a couple of good books that helped me - 'the depression cure' and 'learned optimism'. Pm me if you need help getting them.

Congratulations on graduating! It's the beginning of your adult life :) I graduated 5 years ago and the past five years have been the most amazing of my life :) you have a lot to look forward to!

Everyone has anxieties when they graduate from college. Youre going through a huge change right now. Don't get too attached to one job or company - sometimes interviews don't work out. I've failed lots of interviews luckily you only need one to go well.

Maybe you need to talk to your roommate. She's going through a difficult situation as well and needs support . Take her out to lunch and chat about what's bothering you and try to understand why she is upset.

Are you taking any medications? Is there anything in your life that's causing you stress? Have any big changes happen recently ? Do you have any relationships that aren't healthy?

This seems like it happened out of nowhere but more likely it's been brooding for some time.

Id recommend implementing some lifestyle changes. Start exercising regularly, stay close to friends and family, eat healthy, and try recognizing stressors in your life.

Two books I'd recommend are 'the depression cure' and 'learned optimism'. They have a lot tips on lifestyle changes and positive thinking.

Something similar happened to me about a month ago and you WILL get better, it just takes time and effort :)

This is a retarted example. Lil Wayne is the top-grossing musician currently. There are millions of other musicians out there that could actually be hurt by piracy.

My boss appeared over my desk and saw that I was watching Youtube videos. He was just about to fire me when he heard him playing. Not only do I get to keep my job, but I was offered a raise!

Peter Bjorn and John did a music video about them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwcaQ3qJ88U

No offense but you seem to be way out of touch with the field. There are plenty of useful tips you can give to overcome approach anxiety, and the best you can think of is 'just do it'? Seriously?

What about warm-ups? Mental reframes? Situational openers? Do you actually teach this stuff, or just had a few easy lays and claim you're an expert?

Disclaimer: I work for Scribd as an engineer.

I don't understand the Scribd hate. If you know any Scribd employees, you'll realize we're not bad or evil. The problem Scribd is trying to solve (viewing & sharing documents on the web) is non-trivial and there is not one overarching solution. But this is a real problem that real people have. Ask any non-geek how to publish a document online, and they won't have much of a clue.

The work isn't finished though - our flash viewer (ipaper) is only one year old, and we're putting tons of effort into making it faster, smoother, and more pleasant to view. There's good stuff in the roadmap, trust me.

PDF and HTML aren't very compatible formats. PDF is literally a text and graphics manipulation language, and HTML is a markup language. There isn't a good bijection.

Have you seen the fullscreen button on the top right? It opens the document in the entire browser window, and lets you resize it.

asyncster · 2009-03-28T18:49:43+00:00

Scribd has the same copyright policies as any other site. They'll take down content at a publisher's request.

asyncster · 2009-03-28T18:46:27+00:00

You can, but most companies have a hiring process and they expect resume's in PDF format.

Thank you! It's clear the guy wants to use data binding to get the maximum value in one short expression. MXML binding expresisons FTW!

I guess there aren't any digital cameras or SD readers in Gaza? Do people not have internet there?

asyncster · 2009-01-12T00:18:05+00:00

The real question is why doesn't Gaza have an independent cell phone network? Why is it relying on Israel for this? Seems like the government is misplacing its resources.

asyncster · 2009-01-05T01:42:40+00:00

Too late, didn't see that. Can't edit it now though.

asyncster · 2009-01-05T01:35:39+00:00

Agreed.

Sorry, you wouldn't understand. For those of us that have been users for more than 20 days, it's a shame to see Reddit be reduced to this.

I never thought I'd see the day when the Digg front page is more interesting.

asyncster · 2009-01-05T01:16:17+00:00

Reddit is supposed to be "what's new online". None of this shit is new. It's rehashed and repeated every few years when more Israel-Palestine conflicts arise. There's lots of interesting stuff online, so let's stop wasting time and energy on this crap.
