Hey Sam! A question about your career path. Can you think of a specific point in time when you made the decision to focus more on the business side of things and less on writing code? If so, can you describe why you made that decision?

Oh man, that interview question gives one hacker the freaks. After reading it, my biological reaction was like: wow, I've got stuff to learn before becoming proficient in Computer Science as a college dropout.
Thanks for pointing that out (: The blogpost explains how in learning C after years with PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and Objective-C one discovers little things about CS that weren't visible before while working on a higher abstraction level.
Oh, there are a lot of serious problems with iOS. After 3 years on the platform, you start to see that restriction-based badness all over the place. But one shouldn't forget that Apple has built an incredible product with one of the most secure OSs in the world and offers one of the best UI SDKs available. Those facts alone make me want to cut Apple some slack from being such assholes when allowing users to make more low-level decisions.
It's an interesting claim to say that iOS has aged poorly. I tend to agree that the use of skeumorphic design does make the standard apps look a bit out-of-date, but is that really a problem? How many powerusers are really bothered by this? If you don't like the Podcast app, just get Downcast. If you don't like Calendar, just get Fantastical. And using your claim that skeumorphism helps smartphone newcomers adopt the platform more easily, isn't the current situation a sort of a win-win for the iOS ecosystem? Newcomers get an easy entry and more versatile users can enjoy the great results of third-party developers.
Those are good points and I agree with everything you said. And even though anecdotes are informative, they may not be enough to make big important claims about how people should manage their mental energy.
Even though a lot of smart people agree that we can only get a few hours of real concentration a day, not many of them link to scientific papers that support this claim. I would agree that the claim "feels right". But in absence of a real experiment, how valuable is this insight really? Maybe useful to keep the idea in the back of one's head, but seems far from a definitive answer.
Sorry to point this out, but you sound more like a recruiter than a designer. I'm sure people would answer your questions if you would ask them a little bit less bluntly.
My answers to your questions are:
1. I showcase the projects I've been working on
2. I don't describe the projects, just point a link to them, they should describe themselves (README, code comments, etc.)
3. Someone very skilled to make them good money with little hassle
It works surprisingly good. Tried it out for my hometown "Suceava", a small forgotten city from northern Romania. The information one gets is really useful and seems to be mostly accurate.
