Things you wish you'd learned about programming in college? | timr: Don't waste your expensive and valuable college time on software engineering tools, source control, and other mundane crap that any monkey can learn quickly.

How to consistently generate traffic and new customers for Ramamia? | apsurd: Why not do both?I'm hustling to get my new app out and I plan to use a kind of "hybrid" system. Perhaps it has a name but the premise is just that you have to attach VALUE to whatever it is you are giving away. If you price something as "FREE" and then give it away, then the user does not feel like he's really ... |
Which are some of the most expensive off-the-shelf sw products? | RK: One of my relatives works in the petroleum exploration industry as a consultant.

Things you wish you'd learned about programming in college? | wowus: Experience is the best teacher. Just build programs! The more you build, the better you'll be. Note how I said build, not write.

Things you wish you'd learned about programming in college? | DanielBMarkham: The whole purpose of learning about technology is to make technology do something for people.

Is it acceptable not to pay interns? | maconic: One thing is for sure: unpaid internships are probably illegal nine times out of ten. Employers are legally required to pay interns at least minimum wage if they fit the definition of an employee.

Many people seem to think compilers are just programs like g... |
Github or your own git server? | how_gauche: I'd never use Github if money was on the line, it's down all the time and source code is core competency stuff, you do it in-house. Gitosis + gitweb aren't that difficult to set up.There's also "Gitorious" but I tried to use it once and spent two days unsuccessfully trying to get it to work. |
Github or your own git server? | cmelbye: I'm using GitHub. It may occasionally be down, but they have a really innovative new server architecture, and once they've ironed out the problems (which I believe they've almost done), it should be as stable as a rock. Plus, it's git so you have a full clone of the repository that you can work with even while... |

Advice for seed-stage startup funding firm in India | shabda: APart from the money what makes you a good investor? |
Is it acceptable not to pay interns? | dkersten: Besides the legal issues, you get what you pay for. Really, if I was doing work (especially if I can see it making someone else a pile of money) and I wasn't being paid for it, I wouldn't be motivated to put any effort into it and you'd probably find it cheaper to just pay someone instead. |
Things you wish you'd learned about programming in college? | teeja: Make up (or find) as much gnarly, twisted data as needed to throw at your code to convince yourself that it will respond gracefully no matter what comes along. (Then if you can, get someone else to.) If it can't - or you can't test all conceivable ways it can fail - then you need to either rethink your design o... |

Achieving high security and privacy by daily re-imaging of your system | charlesmarshall: how about a more random one... use version control on the disk and do a clean checkout on boot.. big overhead to store the repo and probably not too fast to checkout .. but on the plus side you can include specific files as time goes on ... so the next service pack can be added to your repo when it com... |
Achieving high security and privacy by daily re-imaging of your system | bhousel: Option #4 has been working very well for me over the past year. I'm a huge fan of VMWare now.VMWare also lets you take snapshots of your VMs, so that if anything goes wrong, you can revert to an older version. |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | jasonlbaptiste: Not at all. If I could choose between either an entrepreneur with an entrepreneurship major or a CS major, the CS major would win hands down every time. It seems a lot of CS/CIS majors prepare you for "coding jobs" in fortune 500 IT, which is a real shame. The degree is what you make of it. |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | bhousel: What's a "stereotypical coding job"? I didn't know such a thing existed..Working in a 3 person startup in a loft is very different from Fortune 100 IT dept, different still from writing code in a research lab, or freelancing, or out in the "field" in remote places, or programming lathes and CNCs on a machine... |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | BigZaphod: Maybe. But your major doesn't have to define who you are or will become - it's just a thing. |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | david927: Dijkstra said, "Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." It's more than that though.

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | rw: You are not in trade school. Take control of your life :-)Most things in CS are able to be studied both empirically and theoretically. For example, Scott Aaronson is a CS theorist at MIT who has admitted to doing just a little BASIC programming in school. I took no computer science courses, but now I code full-time... |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | mikek: In my experience, the best managers / product designers of programmers know how to program. This helps them tremendously in understanding how to set goals and expectations. It is very difficult for non-coders to know what is a very difficult task (e.g. data deduplication) vs. what is an easy feature to add. |

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | maukdaddy: I was once at the same place you are with regard to CS, albeit at Virginia Tech (go Hokies!).

CS major who doesn't want to code.

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | nzmsv: Honestly, switching majors isn't that big of a deal. It is better if you figure this out now, rather than after you've worked in the industry for 5 years. Some people see it as a "failure". This is wrong. You are just figuring out what you like, and what you are best at.I'd imagine a lot of your credits would tr... |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | sofal: I don't think the corporate-slave orientation is limited to CS students. If you're into entrepreneurship, you'll probably feel out of place in any technology-related major, especially if you only look for job prospects at campus job fairs. |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | jhancock: Here's a few thoughts for you:1 - I know of no major whose job outside of college resembles what you study.2 - I went to Georgia Tech, '87-'92. Yep, a long time, as I was a co-op student and had several entrepreneurial jaunts along the way. I chose EE as a major as I specifically did not want to study CS si... |

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | nkohari: Yes, you are in the wrong major.

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | krobertson: Does your college have an MIS focus? When I was in college, you'd chose a few focus areas for some of your electives.

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | Kliment: Being in a coding job is one thing, enjoying writing code and building things is another. I can fully understand not wanting to be the stereotypical code monkey who sits in a dark room and outputs code. So the real question is, do you dislike the subject matter or the imagined career. If the former, then you h... |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | mindstab: I'd say no. I've been continually disappointed in the coding part of the university education.

The worst part, I love it, coding and all.So I think you have two options coming out of your major in ... |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | rit: A few thoughts come to mind here for me.First ... So don't take a stereotypical coding job; whatever your definition of that may be.

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | ErrantX: No. Despite what people are saying there are a bazillion such jobs for a smart, non-coder, person to grab hold of.Ultimately "the wrong major" comes down to the course content.

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | DenisM: The most profitable ventures are always at a junction of two tings. In your case a junction of someone who can code on one hand and who can see the point of another coder and negotiate to the agreement on the other hand is very valuable in any large company. Product development in large companies always require... |

I think you're "selling yourself" wrong... |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | mdragon: I think CS is too heavy for most programming jobs, much less for non-coding technology jobs. You'd probably be much better served having a business major or some sort of technology commercialization or even some sort of technical (or not ) writing, or psychology or math degree. CS is about reading papers othe... |

CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | icco: I'm not sure if I want to say you are in the wrong major, but I think there is a current disconnect between what people learn in high school and what people learn in college.High-schools need to start informing students that what ever their major is in college, it doesn't necessarily affect what they will do out ... |
CS major who doesn't want to code. Am I in the wrong major? | Elepsis: At some point around the third year of my CS degree at Georgia Tech I went through a similar realization (I wonder if it's something about the curriculum): I understood that while I was smart, competent, and able to get through the curriculum with good grades, I was never going to be a "rock star" programmer. ... |

How important is it for a site to have its own custom search? | tjpick: it is important for a site to provide users, who are already there, an easy way to search. It complements navigation. Doesn't really matter if it's custom or backed by something like google.Some random standalone search specifically built against another site is not that useful, but is a sign that the built in ... |

Are there any on-demand Django deployment and management solutions? | cmelbye: Google App Engine is a scalable low-cost Platform as a Service run on Google's infrastructure. You get to use their toys (Datastore based on BigTable, large network of servers and datacenters, etc), but it will not "just work" with most Django/Python web applications. For example, you have to use their API to ... |
Things you wish you'd learned about programming in college? | bricestacey: This will obviously vary depending on how much the school focusing on CS or CE, but I'd stress mastering the basics of several programming languages in different domains (e.g. C, Java, PHP, Python, Lisp). There is a lot to be taken from each of these, even if you think they suck on their own.I don't think ... |

Clojure as a first progamming language? | fp: I think Clojure is not a simple language. The reason is, that you have to learn about 1) Lisp, 2) Clojure's approach to concurrency (immutable data structures + reference types) and 3) the JVM. These are all fairly complex systems on their own. The combination of them is what makes Clojure interesting, and, in my o... |
Clojure as a first progamming language? | mechanical_fish: I feel there’s a chance an experienced programmer has a certain connection with his/her "native" programming languageSure, you will tend know more about the language that you have worked with the most, which in turn tends to be the one you prefer. But that need have nothing to do with the language you ... |
Clojure as a first progamming language? | JimmyL: If you want to learn a language from the perspective of getting something done (in the startup webapp sphere), go for Python/Django or Ruby/Rails - they both have mature, well-established communities with plenty of documentation and available libraries.Clojure seems quite cool, but it's a relatively new languag... |
Not raising expectations of the customer is not a defeatist attitude? | charlesmarshall: The old axiom "Failing to plan is planning to fail" comes to mind.I wouldn't say sell yourself short but always be realistic. For example if its a deadline you want to give for a project will take 2 weeks, build in some space for running over (a % based on complicity and client) and give that.In your c... |
Not raising expectations of the customer is not a defeatist attitude? | Kliment: The best thing you can do is satisfy all user expectations, including the ones they do not know they have. People love being positively surprised. So the proposition is this: By the model of your partner, you create expectations for users, and then satisfy them. This essentially means people get excited about ... |
Not raising expectations of the customer is not a defeatist attitude? | stonemetal: Expectations should be just right. Low expectations is lost business. If I don't think You can solve my problem or not solve it well, why do business with you? Elevated expectations are lost repeat business. If you promise steak but deliver hamburger, why would I come back? |
