Proven fact that money doesn't make people happy anyways. But you won't believe that.
Well, maybe I should say, money makes you happy the moment you get it then you just begin living your life at a more expensive level and you spend that money in an attempt to make yourself happier but really you are not happier than you were.
With enough money, however, you can distract yourself heavily so that you forget that you are unhappy.
It makes life easier, sure. But that doesn't make people happier.
You have to be happy before you get the money, because the money won't do it.
That's why there are so many people who stumble into riches or are born into them and they are still miserable sods.
However, the lack of money can lead to unhappiness, but it does not have to.
Happiness is internal.

I love this one-two combo:
- Hire someone who's worked for Google or Apple--if you get a chance.
- Painting all coders with a broad brush is risky.
I'm also puzzled how hiring someone from Google or Apple will make me happy. Most likely, it will just annoy me since I'll have to listen to lectures all day about how Google or Apple are perfect.

I know a real mean elephanting sunshine with lots of money.

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

The results of a study released today by IT management firm Landesk, however, paint a more peaceful picture of the relationship between line-of-business and IT. "You like me, right now, you like me!"

Why would Bloomberg Business devote a whole issue—38,000 words—to the subject of writing computer code and managing computer coders? Because that’s the future. "But I was into it before it was cool."
Gotta go find some tight jeans and a jack shirt now, or whatever the current "ironic" kids are wearing.

Quote: You’ve learned that the only appropriate reward for people who write JavaScript is more JavaScript.
Is this like "the beatings will continue until morale improves"?
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?

Many of you have asked about what we do with all of the feedback that we receive in the Windows Insider Program, and how we’re able to use it all to inform product decisions with your input. With this post, I’m excited to share some behind the scenes info with you on how your input is used to help “co-develop” Windows. Somewhere between "as little as possible" and "maybe this will shut them up"

Yeah, I told them over and over not to get rid of the start menu on Windows 8... but did they listen?

Angel spent the last dozen years in the .NET ecosystem. He even helped to build it during his time working at Microsoft and Nokia. One down, several million remain

Exactly why I went looking for a full time job 10 years ago instead of consulting. Technologies are like picking stocks; sometimes they go up and sometimes they go down, but they never stay up forever. The last thing I wanted to do is continue to guess and waste time picking the wrong technologies and chasing that magic technology that would bring me riches.

2 points.
1. Angel leaves .Net environment, who cares
2. Not everybody should be Android Dev.

Besides, do you realize what that means? Now .NET development is where Angels fear to tread!

Justin Angel confuses percentages with hard numbers. Because of mobile device development, more development jobs overall exist. C# now holds a smaller percentage of software development jobs, but its demand hasn't gone down.
Also, of the "obsolete" technologies he listed, only Silverlight is truly losing support. Furthermore, all ecosystems over time receive new frameworks, libraries, and API's to adjust to newer trends in software development (not just the .NET ecosystem); you can't criticize .NET for coming out with new API's all the time without also criticizing all development platforms.
And the Java/Android ecosystem he moved to has its own problems (and its own host of doomsday prophets, too).
