A Personal Vow for Challenging Times

Steve Farber

I’ve always found it inspiring when couples renew their vows to each other. It’s their way of saying, after all we’ve been through together, you and I, we carve out this moment to remind each other of our mutual love, devotion and commitment. And to re-affirm that they still mean it. But I don’t often (ever?) hear of people renewing vows to themselves.

More Web Events in Los Angeles

SoCal CTO

I’ve updated my earlier post on Networking Events Los Angeles with some great suggestions from Lorin Cha who I just met through LinkedIn. Here were the new ones: LeanLA Startup Circle Meetup I’ve gone to a couple of these. Often the presentations are pretty basic because of a fair number of newbies in the audience.

A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing. - Alan J Perlis When you model a domain you map the artifacts from the problem domain to the solution domain. The problem domain artifacts are the same irrespective of your solution domain. But the mapping process depends on your medium of modeling, the target platform, the programming language and the paradigms that it offers.

Construction sites aren’t just exclusively general laborers, there are usually a host of other complex jobs and professions.
