Indeed, this can feel fulfilling in its own way, though one should be careful not to get too smug, lest he or she limit his or her options too severely.

This is kind of a tough one, and very much touches upon the Dunning-Kruger effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning-K…). As someone else mentioned in their comment, as an interviewee part of your job is to sell yourself, and some people will sell themselves short.

Yeah, I get that... as I said, I see his point. I guess I am coming from a different angle, primarily the angle where a lot of employers are sadly only interested in hiring "great" or "master" developers/designers, and when they want that AND list it as a single job rather than two jobs, that's unicorn country.

While I kind of see where David's coming from, I still agree with those who say that looking for a great designer and developer in one person is a unicorn hunt. Yes, there are people out there who are great at both, but that number is colossally dwarfed by the number of people out there who are either great (or…

The role of JavaScript libraries is to make your life easier, not…

ZOMG. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MO—wait...PS3. I don't have a PS3, but I have a Vita.

It'd sure be nice if these companies would realize that a large part of the reason WHY the Vita is doing "relatively poorly" here is because relatively few companies will put the effort in to release great games on it, which, guess what, leaves people with little reason to buy the system. It does poorly specifically…

Maybe this is a dumb question, but what's the threshold considered for "job hopping"? Maybe it varies per field, but in my field (frontend developer) I think I'd almost rather see someone who has been a few places (or at least varied positions) in the last 10 years rather than someone who has just spent the whole…
