The More You Know

I had a conversation with Joe one morning while responding to an article that I found via Reddit.com via instant messenger. I was showing him my response to the article to see what he thought of my response. As always I made a spelling/grammar error and Joe helped by pointing it out.

Andrew Martinez: The article points out a good topic of conversation, but it does short-side a larger topic at hand (How to get a development job). I say take the article for what its worth and give the author a little slack for stepping on toes and writing from a narrow slant.

People who explode on the social seen of developers are just like any other spotlighted people: It sure is easy to focus on them because they are the people making noise. The issue is that we can not all be in the spotlight. There just isn’t enough fame.
