There is no shortage of ways to advance your career, or your earnings potential. Racking up a bunch of certifications is one of them. But be careful it doesn’t have the opposite effect. My cert in Windows 3.1 doesn't seem to be a problem

C'mon, get with the times, Windows for Workgroups is all the rage now!
The difficult we do right away...

Would you believe I have that one as well? Dang, but I used to take a lot of those silly tests.

Don't you mean Windows for Warehouses? I hear that version 10 was recently released.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I used to work with someone many years ago who had loads of Microsoft certifications, including ones he never used in his day job as a programmer. He collected them. His rationale was that they showed motivation and willingness to learn and progress. Up to a point this is true. However, he lacked real world knowledge in many of the areas in which he was qualified. So whilst on paper he may appear qualified, the reality was that he didn't really understand them as his knowledge was entirely based on theory from a book.

An interesting by-product of the DevOps movement is the blurring and blending of roles across the application lifecycle as a result of these condensed timeframes and pressure to deliver new functionality, particularly in the area of testing and quality. Circular definition is circular

Some of the holes the interns found were very dangerous and could allow a clever attacker to gain a control of the apps. Yeah, but how much were the interns charged for access to those bugs?

Facebook is launching a new initiative called "2G Tuesdays" that will give all employees an opportunity to see what using the app with an incredibly slow connection feels like and help close the "empathy gap" between Silicon Valley and emerging markets. I wish this upon every web (and network) programmer

I love this - especially for web developers who assume that everyone views web sites at 4K resolution

If, like me, you find yourself getting older and still can’t resist the desire to keep coding and building things, then read on. "The fundamental things apply, as time goes by"

Number Six: Remember that the younger the developer you're interacting with, the more likely they are driven by ego more so that idealism. This isn't a bad thing, rather part of the learning process, but one must talk differently when reviewing code or pointing out weaknesses in order to compensate for the ego barrier you've long since overcome. Something a forty year old peer would consider a good suggestion, a youngster might take as a challenge, a threat or an insult.
At least for me, I found life much easier after adopting this rule. I've been offered the management track many times, but I like tinkering with code, new code, strange code, any code, and as I age but young developers are still young developers, I've had to adapt by remembering the ego-maniac I used to be.
