Amtrak would have been faster getting from DC to VA Beach by car. Limping camels would be faster. I don't get the attraction of using cars.

It's Memorial Day Weekend, time to re-read "Smart and Gets Thing Done," the way #webdev's are hired in paradise. http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Gets-Things-Done-Technical-ebook/dp/B001CSLK62/ref=mt_kindle?_encoding=UTF8&me=
What do you all do when your team needs to hire a developer?
META: This subtweet is about you. But now that you know it is about you, it isn't a subtweet anymore. Is it a super tweet?
Best result of Gold Rush? Sourdough Bread. What will be the best result of #dctech? Slightly burnt popcorn. Twice microwaved burritos.
Woot! maxed out my follows. I turned off retweets on everyone and now my feed is actually quite readable and on topic.
Lady developers-- if you fit 60% of the qualifications, apply anyhow. Why? Because that is what the men are doing. http://mic.com/articles/97468/why-you-should-apply-to-that-job-you-think-you-can-t-get
@mistersql It's true. I'd apply for an C++ or F# job solely based on the fact that I can spell C++ or F#.

Why must we teach 5th graders how to code? So when we're asked "Explain your code to a hypothetical 5th grader" we can just talk normally.
Desktop census. Today, 3 physical monitors, 1 VM, 2 active RDP sessions out of a possible of 23. Three mobile screens on the desk.
Any front end .NET dev's want to work with me on my team? http://formarshgroup.theresumator.com/apply/2C43Dq/Software-Engineer.html Just imagine, admin rights on your workstation.
"If you want a vision of the future of twitter, imagine a stream of 'Wow! Check this out! (link)" scrolling down your screen -
forever."
@mistersql Don't make or click on click bait. If it doesn't say what the link is, that person doesn't respect your time.

I would try out jenkins but one more Java server app on my workstation and it will go on strike. I need like a workstation cluster.
git clone -verbose matthew-martin .
Oh man, don't run that. He'll never shut up.
Don't poach software developers. Boil them.

I'd like to follow a bug with about 10% of you. Your domain expired. Or your blog doesn't support RSS. You are actually a pet. Please fix.
Watching a video course on FeatureToggles. I've never been so excited about a wrapper around a boolean before. https://github.com/jason-roberts/FeatureToggle
Any front end engineers want to work in Silver Spring for Discover Channel? I wish I could, can't at the moment. http://www.bullhornreach.com/job/1996842_web-developer-silver-spring-md?utm_campaign=v1&shortlink=4111339&utm_content=6&utm_source=twitter.com&referer=None&utm_medium=referral
@mistersql My significant other gives Discover Channel her stamp of approval as a super place to work.

Almost no one wants to say they are an http://asp.net, c# or java developer on Twitter. If it were ruby or python, different story.
I think I followed some real estate developers by accident. And international development experts. Maybe I can teach them to code anyhow.
Twitter sort of knows where you are. It's the worst for all possible cases-if you want to be found, you can't. Want privacy? I can guess 90%
Working through the Scivener word processor tutorial. It's like Visual Studio for novels/books. A project has documents that get compiled.
How is this for a workflow: 1st draft https://Twitter.com -> 2nd http://Medium.com -> Final Scrivner https://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.php
"What an ideology does is give you reasons not to pursue your own apparent rational interest.."

Next year: bike, canoe, gyrocopter to work. Unless you're Secret Service, then you'll have to walk the last mile to the White House.
What shall I call this UI code with race conditions? Racist? Racy?
How do you all justify buying software development tooling at the office?
Did you hear about the C++ developer who was arrested for counterfeiting? He was passing notes by value. #cpp
Using Twitter more effectively as a software developer: FYI: I’m not a technical recruiter. I’m just a softwar... http://bit.ly/1EJDnkk

I wrote a post about twittering for professional development as a software developer: http://tech.wakayos.com/?p=801 How quaint and meta
So if you play lotto you probably play $50/month. If you put that into the stock market, (6.5%) you'd have $50K after 30 years.
