  1. I have had the same thing about 4 times in a row now. I have realized it is nothing to do with bad luck but rather with being attracted to things that are exciting and happening - the downside of that being they over-invested bubbles waiting to burst.

  2. "The demand for senior engineers with good experience under their belt is still insanely high." This may just be the short term - if (this is only an if) the fund managers give up believing that new tech giants can be born from their investments then PE ratios of tech companies will equalise with other industries and programmers will earn what architects, lawyers or accountants earn - maybe 2x-3x less. It all takes a while to filter through. I have seen this happen in another industry - but tech may be different.

  3. Take my advice - don't study more - go out there and find something to work on straight away - even if it is for free. Employers value studies about 10% of what they value work at.

  6. Are they paying you 300k, 200k or 100k? I bet it is the latter. And that is what all the wailing and gnashing of teeth is about.

  8. Web developers get a sinking feeling in their stomach when they see C# - and C++ has no garbage collection, and is known to cause seizures /jk

  9. I know I guy who is near quadriplegic after an accident - he is fine and life continues. I have never met a guy who has a big ego be fine after it is chopped in half - at least not for the first 10 years or so.

  10. FAAK - Facebook, Amazon, Apple and Kodak - 10 years from now these will be the celebrity list of failed corporations.
