Does this get around the shitty reverse-proxies mobile providers set up that kill websocket connections?

I can't answer this yet. I'd be curious to hear

Zuck has never struck me as a particularly motivating individual, but I only know his tv personality side..

How about the simplest answer –Students don't always know, regardless of topic, whether or not it's a good fit for them and they change majors?

Experts Exchange was the first thing that came to my mind as well..

Could you let on what you did to get a large following? It's been really hard for me personally. Thanks!

This is great, can't wait to start replacing old code! No more complicated multi-line monster requests+callbacks.

I'm a partner at a small but mature think-tank and business consulting company in Boston. We are an idea company at heart and have a strong track record in growing technology based joint ventures. In this case I would personally put the right people in the right seats to really get things rolling. If you'd like the business to evolve while you're working on devbootcamp, give me a ping at le@cirrosystems.com. I would love to chat more.

Know what.. I need to get some sleep because that message was really generic. We just have lots of great projects that shouldn't be in the public eye at the moment. Well, let me know!

I think you mean computer programming here, which I completely agree with. Computer science is an entirely different beast.

It's one thing to learn how to lay bricks, but another to learn how to architect a skyscraper.

Architects can also focus on design, which reduces the need for a rigorous engineering training. An architect doesn't have to be a construction engineer.

For example, Tadao Ando started as a truck driver and became one of the world's most celebrated architects with no formal training: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tadao_Ando

The software world is missing a job title that would approximate the role of a design-oriented architect. There are plenty of software architects, but this is usually a misleading title because they design infrastructure rather than public-facing spaces. The software architect is more like a "software municipal engineer".

It's called Information Architect.

I'd clarify it as, programming as an engineering field, but not programming as a science. So yeah, essentially the same thing.

Interestingly enough, at North Carolina State University, Computer Science is part of the College of Engineering, and the coursework largely follows the same path as their other engineering programs (complete with the standard E 101 course at the beginning and a senior design project at the end), albeit more theoretically focused than most.

Right. The University of Michigan does the same thing. But there was discussion on the first day about how computers aren't grouped into science or engineering, because the broadness of compsci provides opportunity in both fields.

Vision might be an example of what I'm trying to explain, moving from researching how to get a computer to see, to something that is practically being used for face recognition and license plate recognition. At the same time there is still more research on vision to be done, especially when paired with robotics.
