Just read this morning that Jonathan Ive, Apple's senior vice president of industrial design, has been named a Knight Commander of the British Empire in the U.K.'s 2012 New Year Honours list, an honor he has described as "absolutely thrilling." http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/12/30/apple_design_c....

Progress is on the way

do you think that managing or dealing with people (these irrational talking machines) is harder and scarier than coding?

I did 10 years ago when I was 18 or 19. Now that I've forced myself to be social (by pushing myself outside my comfort zone), it's not scary anymore. I actually enjoy it.

However, one of the reasons I got into programming in the first place (at 13) is because I was shy and found happiness there.

I view marketing as a sort of programming, but instead of having a nice project at the end, you have some cash.

TMZ is an intellectual disneyland for those folks.

Done :)
