Comment Do older programmers even need help? (Score 5, Insightful) 435

Most programmers I know can pick up a new tech in about two weeks and be average at it automatically then gain mastery of it over time. There's no need to have a tutorial because there are plenty out there already.
Personally, I do so much hands on coding and software engineering that I forget the terminology they used in college. I know how to do the stuff, but I forget the definitions they used. Its kinda embarassing in an interview to not know what they're talking about because I forgot the word they use for something super basic. There's webpages for this too. Not to discourage you, but older programmers can train themselves in just a few days if they want to.
Its not like older programmers today haven't been exposed to OO or something game changing. I'd even imagine older coders can pick up new techs faster than kids out of college just because of a lifetime of experience.

Only probs is that while everyone knew about solar roofs, one jerk patented it insuring no one would make them. Basically at this point, anything is better than regular shingles even if it doesn't make electricity. If you can find a legal way of doing solar roofs, that saves the customer every 35 years they need to replace.

Comment Whats so wrong with piracy? (Score 0) 112

I don't see anything wrong with piracy. I feel the Internet should be a giant library of information not controlled by IP hoarders. New stuff can be made on passion, crowdfunded, or other alternative money making approaches. I even wrote a book about God which God approved of by answering a prayer via instant message Read about a miracle And the first article in the book says piracy is okay!

Comment God loves you. (Score -1, Offtopic) 539

Whether or not you believe in him, God loves you. Even if you hate him, God loves you.

Jesus doesn't just tell believers to help the poor, but he also tells them not to brag on it. If you ask me, that is possibly an awful public relations move. How will people know of the good being done in God's name? God knows what he's doing though.

Be good and loving always because Jesus died for our sins. He died for us, the least we could do is live for him.

Gopher was okay, but I guess someone had the idea to add images and html was there within months it seemed. I like the internet we have now apart from the massive spying and viruses. Games are more advanced, and if you like older games, you can still play them. Wanna listen to some Bob Marley? Youtube is there.
