As is QA.
The smart phone and mobile market exploded, which is a different economy. Now, recruiter looks at his percentages and sees something. Some recruiters might want to reevaluate why we still feed people like them.
FWIW, the Austin Post article cited sounds quite different:
“[Employers] want people who are coding outside of work or committing to open source projects. Saying you’re ‘updating your skills’ means you’re working towards the goal of making money. That may be your goal, but employers don’t want to hear that. They want to hear you’re coding all the time because you love what you do.”

At Box, we’re very interested in the quality of our code, which is why we’re constantly evaluating our processes to figure out how we can do better. We even have a team of Code Reliability Engineers (CREs) that help others write better code and provide training both internally and externally. Recently, we’ve turned a critical eye towards code reviews and have been implementing a new process called code workshops. Code reviews are often terrible experiences. This idea may make them better.

In NoSQL: Past, Present, Future Eric Brewer has a particularly fine section on explaining the often hard to understand ideas of BASE (Basically Available, Soft State, Eventually Consistent), ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability), CAP (Consistency Availability, Partition Tolerance), in terms of a pernicious long standing myth about the sanctity of consistency in banking. Myth: Money is important, so banks must use transactions to keep money safe and consistent, right? When availability is more important than consistency.

Clearly this is the policy of every government in the world.

Google Glass isn’t available yet. Even so, the technopanic it’s inspiring is rising to full swivet. But I say there’s no need to panic. We’ll figure it out, just as we have with many technologies — from camera to cameraphone — that came before. Remembering the "witch instrument" and "Kodak fiends" of a previous tech revolution.

Computer science is an interesting discipline. Often, I find myself inadequately trying to communicate why I find it so fascinating. I think I get the closest when describing computer science things that ‘blow my mind’. This post is... basically just a list of computer science things I think are cool. Neat stuff, from logic gates to unfathomable programs.

Any guesses why netninny is blocking this? Normally it gives an excuse about why it decided to make me wait until I got home to read an article but this one just came up access denied.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I was going to suggest maybe because it's a Canadian company, but... er...
No idea why you'd get a warning. I don't see anything obviously objectionable. It's a Unity3D consultancy.

Consultancy for an engine used to write games, playing games in the office; not much of a difference there.  Especially since some my coworkers have used off the shelf 3d game engines for VR type applications.
