What you do hear about people like Steve Jobs is that they sometimes inspire a feeling that what the engineers are doing is the most amazing thing in the world. That's when he wasn't ripping them a new one, of course.

Not sure which one you're referring to as weeks ago, but the [hqx](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hqx) algorithm doesn't produce as good results as Kopf Lischinski but it runs extremely fast, such that it can easily be used in real-time. Kopf Lischinski produce great results but would probably need all images/animations ...

Nothing stops a person from creating something on their own whether it be for personal use or to sell to others.

The people that get treated that way are probably your low level outsourced QA working in QA sweat factories. The higher skilled QA positions get more money and more respect. But this thread isn't about QA, it's about software engineers. They are not the same thing.

Exactly. They recognized that they had a tool that could help people learn, and they could get it to a much broader audience with a simpler UI.

That's what you said before.

It seems that you are claiming that MongoDB gives a reliability guarantee when run on multiple nodes that it cannot...

what's funny about that is i'd guess it's ridiculously easy for anyone who has taken an intro to computer science, while anyone who is self-taught with practical experience will look at that and say, "wha?"- so the article claiming that facebook doesn't care whether you have a degree is a little misleading.

An algorithm class would likely be more applicable than an intro to CS. In my algo class, those sort of write ups were a common occurance and how the majority of our labs/assignments were issued. In my intro classes, you were lucky to go beyond having to implement an array.

You're talknig about QA then not Programmers. But seriously. There are great QA people but they are paid shit, because they have very low skill thresholds. go to a local college and find people who want to test your game on break. Cheap short term labor. People WANT to test games because they think it's a way into...

I worked for a power company as an intern and they had a union for their programmers. Apparently when the company had decided to get an it department the person in charge of that kind of thing thought it sounded like a union job and made it that way. anyways, I don't think they liked being in the union.

You seem to be confusing redundancy (which affects the probability of failure) and reliability guarantees (which guarantees non-failure under certain assumptions with 100% certainty).

Some QA folks write code in order to test , say, an API. Or write test frameworks, or at various levels help the developers isolate their bugs.

No that's definitely not enough. "A real programmer he was" wasn't even close enough for me to merit clicking on the link. I'm not going to go through every other submission with "real" and "programmer" in it. I really think a keyword comparison of the whole document is a better solution.
