Seriously, this. Non-profits are a great way to build your portfolio and do good in the world. The one thing I would do differently if I could is take some business classes. It can be really helpful in meetings to know not only what's technically possible, but also what's best for the business.

This is tagged weareborg. We are borg who are mainlining warez and will add the Jonas Brothers' catchy distinctiveness to our own.

(There's a cyborg/Michael Jackson plastic-surgery obsession joke somewhere in here, but I'll leave it to cleverer posters to hash out.)

All my best coding takes place in the middle of the night. It's quiet and everybody else is too busy sleeping to distract me.

Unfortunately, the times when I'm really tearing it up are usually the same times that I have to be awake and alert in 3 hours or less.

You realize there's a good 300 miles of California north of the bay area, right?

the US, and since they're still in the horse and buggy era when it comes to measuring systems and since they outnumber us ten to one
