APIthetic

Getting really sick of so-called published APIs which let third-party software developers create add-ons.

Yeah my app can integrate with any API, but WTF - LinkedIn + Twitter + CNN + Pentecostals_R_us??? By WHY? I'm APIthetic!!

code shuckin'

In large software companies, developers write code, then "check it in". This merges their stuff with everyone else's stuff... Sometimes the developer is useless, their code is bad, and breaks the build of what everyone else was doing.

That Charlie, he went code shuckin' and broke the build again!

curriculum blogae

Instead of a CV (curriculum vitae) - some employers may want to check out your web presence... your blog, your facebook, your linkedIn... They may not even care about your resume. What you need is a good curriculum blogae.

To apply for this job, your blog IS your resume (it's your curriculum blogae)
