Everything on Wikipedia is interesting to someone... what I'm interested in the most right now is what the purpose of this "experiment" was and how it ended up infiltrating the front page.

Instructions unclear: post the link to comments or as a new link?

I think you mean that it can be difficult for most companies to find qualified candidates, for example software developers. I've heard many people complain that they can't find good coders, or any coders at all in some cases.

Yes exactly - I got a little extreme on the 140 character cut off, but that is the idea. Everyone wants to hire great people, but the only surefire way to find them is to have worked with them in the past. I want to crowdsource this information to find out who the A Players really are. (Hint: they didn't all go to Harvard, integrate by parts, or explain why manhole covers are round.)

I tried an empty string with no luck (had to enable the form button first).

EDIT: Not sure what you meant anyway, I don't see a pg on the top 100 list...

Wouldn't it be easier to change what time you go to work than to change the clocks?

I for one think the entire world should switch to one time zone...

This could just as easily be a result of being "raised" on international chat rooms. If they're really smart then they would purposefully mask their identity by using words and sentence structure uncommon in their usual communications.

What is so mystifying about this?

Doing this:

"cat << EOL

line one

line two

EOL"

Would be the same as this:

"cat < file"

That is if 'file' contained this:

"line one

line two"

This doesn't work with the echo command because it does not use stdin like cat does.

I couldn't get past this sentence: "If it costs you more to get a customer then you can possible make from them, your business is going to fail."

Seriously learn some English man.

The worst part about this is you're arguing that programmers should learn business directly after stating that you argue about business managers not needing to learn programming... Seriously where is your logic sir?

Maybe you can write an article about why you think business managers do not need to learn programming (something I would agree with as a programmer), and make sure you have it edited before posting.

I have a "motivation" playlist on Spotify, the songs either have lyrics which are either motivating or non-existent. I find while coding or writing that lyrics can get in the way too so I have some playlists which are focused on purely lyric-free songs...
