I met a recent CS graduate the other day with strong design skills - not just visually, but in process. Was obviously worlds apart.

That "designer who codes" article is bunk, but design and code *are* core skills. If you understand the principles of both, you're ahead.

Then, we'll live in segregated communities, so we don't have to deal with the people who have to use the infrastructure we've discarded.

We'll start by setting ourselves apart with great healthcare and high-performing schools with state-of-the-art facilities.

Befuddled by all the green stuff for St Patrick's Day. Allegedly something to do with leprechauns, but green = shamrock = holy trinity, no?

I guess it's hiring season. Tempted to get a list of recruiter emails and invite them to apply for random positions in irrelevant companies.

@thinkupinsights A+ on this one - we're good friends. But "chat each other up" means something a little more friendly in the UK! @mapkyca

Awesome open mic.

Awesome open mic.

I like it when these are a safe space. Pictures: someone randomly belly dancing to creepy electronic bient music. A+.

Maybe one day I'll bring my Ross-like beats.
