Living life and enjoying it; a.k.a. "presence"; is not available to everyone. Most people, including workers in Silicon Valley such as engineers, literally get used and farmed. You happen to be of rockstar talent level and your ride will be more pleasant than most. Don't feel guilty - but don't get upset either when we mock you.
A downvote without a reply is a form of impotence. It says: I don't like what you said, but I don't have the verbal dexterity to articulate my position in a cogent & cohesive way.
Whatever you say, Marie Antoinette. You're the exception to the rule and can perhaps create a new kind of corporate culture (though I sincerely doubt it.. if you do, you'll owe it to society to write a management textbook. Or - you will act like most people do - and hoard the information for personal benefit, until one of your underlings reverse engineers it and publicizes because you're just not paying her what she's worth. Case in point: Michael O Church). Most great work is stymied by politics, because the great creative thinkers and engineers haven't been groomed and trained in politics/management. So due to their social flaws, their projects fail, and they're stymied.
Michael O Church is crowdsourcing political support, and he believes the crowd will throw out the hegemony. Well, Michael O Church just might be on to something.
at EOD write "how you are going to quickly jump back into code". This introduces a business process to enforce a cognitive best practice that leads to much faster "stack load" times.
Can one of our resident cryptography geniuses (e.g. cperciva, tptacek) weigh in on how Peer2PeerCoin (PPCoin) does/doesn't address Bitcoin 51% vulnerability?
Groupon is no longer the same company it was 4 years ago; you might be biased by being anchored to a $20 IPO price, which you should actually blame on the investment "banksters"; thousands of merchants are grateful for the relationships they have with the company and continue to maintain those relationships; at least one YCombinator company has been purchased by Groupon. Calling it a "scummy greater fool play" is not appropriate in light of these facts.
