Hah. But then there's the whole php and scaling thing. Who the fuck wants to do that, that's a sysadmin job.

Maybe I'm out of touch but... it sounds like they're really underpaying for this position. 45-65k a year for FLAWLESS CODE DELIVERED AT LIGHTNING SPEED TO RENDER HIGHLY DYNAMIC CONTENT INCREDIBLY FAST UNDER EXTREEEEME LOAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dunno.

OOP in PHP looks like poop. From a butt. It's all "Hey, we need to tack on OOP to our language!"

"You are passionate about delivering the minimum viable product"

That could have been phrased better.

$45K for a programmer level 1.

$65K for a programmer level 3. (basically before you are a project manager and start making $100,000 a year)

Plus they're in Canada, so cost of living isn't retarded like it is in the US plus healthcare. That's about right, or rather, on the low-medium end. I'd be shooting for 65k+ if I were applying though.

I'm not praising it as the perfect solution to every single problem, but goddamn do I like doing stuff in Ruby.

Still better than obj-c.

Hey let's assimilate another language into C to make it super confusing, different, and trendy!

I don't know if I ate out a box of dirt last night or something but when I brushed my teeth this morning it was like coffee-colored. That was crazy. My teeth feel hella clean though.

It's like everything in Obj-C is named doStuffWithOtherStuffAndACherryOnTop.

PHP is basically a disaster for anything that isn't simple server-side scripts, bridging the gap between database and website. And even then, it's not great at that and has a lot of inherent security issues.

It's mostly the smalltalk syntax.

Nope, can't go with C-style syntax, let's make our own! Brackets for everyone!

I think it's quirky and fun, but difficult to follow if you're not a native english speaker and difficult to build on if you're not particularly creative.

Echo

I would however like to do a small project in Obj-C just to see if I can get over how chatty it is.

And I do love the whole MVC model between the code and the app UI when doing Cocoa stuff.

Now do my work. Do all copper ATPase deficiencies result in Wilson's Disease? I'm thinking no, because you can be a partial carrier and not have the disease.

@surrealitycheck

That paper is hilariously named.

Taking my biochem lab exam today. It is a dry lab and I hope I pass it. It is a very weird exam style.

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
