Exploring an International Minimum Wage
01/17/2004 10:48 PMI've looked into the concept of a minimum wage, finding many
proposals. Some are based on the US minimum wage, or on an average of
national minimums. Some are just arbitrarily set without explanation.
These proposals often quintuple the salary of workers in poor
countries. Here's a more conservative proposal based on a
combination macroeconomic/commodity approach. Also, an explanation of
the economic purpose of minimum wages.

Not-for-profit versus for-profit economy
Not-for-profit versus for-profit economy
01/07/2004 04:28 PMToday's Boston Globe carries two contrasting front-page
stories. "As economy gains, outsourcing surges"
talks about how American workers at for-profit companies must compete
with 84 million Filipinos, many of whom are well-educated, speak good
English, and are delighted to work for $300/month. Things are
looking more cheerful for U.S. workers in the not-for-profit
sector. A front-page story on Boston University's
search for a new president revealed that the school decided to pay Dan
Goldin $1.8 million in exchange for... not working at all.
Considering that Mr. Goldin had yet to start his job, that's a pretty
good hourly rate. You could hire a staff of 45 Filipino
engineers for ten years with that $1.8 mil!
[Update: the Globe runs a three-article series on "the white
collar job migration". Article 2 is "US workers see hard times" and includes a quote
from a venture capitalist: "Right when you think about Employee
11, you should think about India. My view is you should not
start a company from scratch in the United States ever again.''
Article 3 is "US business students find
opportunity is global" and talks about how MBAs are
adapting. A more interesting article appears in the same issue,
November 4, "As work shifts,
internship in India the new rite of passage" and starts with "An
increasing number of US students are going to India to intern at top
information technology services firms or to participate in tours that
allow them to network with the country's corporate elite." The
American interns, most of whom are MBAs or MBA students, get paid
about $350/month (compared to their old internships of $7000/month in
the U.S.).]

they studied! This article will give some non-programmers a better

MS Programmers: So Like Us
MS Programmers: So Like Us
02/16/2004 02:46 PMIt turns out Microsoft's Windows programmers have to deal with the
same crap as the rest of the world's programmers.
Kuro5hin.org has put up a
overview of
the comments in the recently leaked Microsoft source code. (Some
of the comments are not rated G. If you use a text-to-speech reader,
cover your kids' ears. )
In the struggle to meet deadlines, I think pretty much all
programmers have put in comments they might later regret, including
swearwords and acerbic comments about other code or requirements.
Also, any conscientious coder will put in prominent comments warning
others about the trickier parts of the code. Comments like "UGLY
TERRIBLE HACK" tend to indicate good code rather than bad: in bad code
ugly terrible hacks are considered par for the course. It would
therefore be both hypocritical and meaningless to go through the
comments looking for embarrassments. But also fun, so let's
go.
The overall conclusion is rather flattering towards Microsoft: a lot
of good code, with the obligatory ugly hacks for compatibility with
other stuff. No stolen open source, either. Better go have a look
before their cease-and-desist shows up.

Do We Even Need Programmers Any More?
Do We Even Need Programmers Any More?
07/07/2004 02:47 PMInternetNews is taking a look at the latest development tool releases
from Sun and Microsoft that try to "dumb down" programming to the
point that any old idiot can create applications and
wonder
s if coders are still necessary. The obvious answer the article
reaches (and, yeah, the article includes a quote from me on this
point) is that
of course we'll still need real programmers.
People have been promising the "programmer-less programs" for ages,
and they seem to forget that designing applications isn't like
designing a webpage. There's a lot more to it than just the user
interface, and it's a different mode of thought. That said, however,
it does seem like there is a real opportunity to expand the space of
more personalized "quick and dirty" programs to solve specific needs.
If people can have tools to
build
themselves specific programs it can expand the space, not
necessarily shrink it for traditional programmers.

decade -- they helped promote the myth that programmers work for free.
In their folklore we're so selfless that we're willing to write new
software and fix bugs, without being paid to do so. Another way of
looking at it -- they get to keep all the money and programmers get
nothing."
XML Is Too Hard For Programmers
XML Is Too Hard For Programmers
03/19/2003 10:25 PMTim Bray: "The notion that there is an 'XML data model' is silly
and unsupported by real-world evidence. The definition of XML is
syntactic: the 'Infoset' is an afterthought and in any case is far
indeed from being a data model specification that a programmer could
work with. Empirical evidence: I can point to a handful of different
popular XML-in-Java APIs each of which has its own data model and each
of which works. So why would you think that there's a data model there
to build a language around?"

XML Keeps Programmers Regular
XML Keeps Programmers Regular
03/19/2003 10:24 PM...using regular expressions, that is. In response to
Tim
Bray's dirty little habit of parsing XML with regular expressions,
Jon Udell
writes:
If the XML gods are resorting to Perl and Python hackery to shred
documents, are we just spinning our wheels? I don't think so. But this
is, perhaps, an unusual case.
...
I can, however, make excellent use of the text stream underlying XML
abstractions. So, which way to regard a document becomes a kind of
Necker cube puzzle. The bad news: it's confusing. The good news: it's
useful.
When the suggestion of XMLizing Blosxom templates came up a week or so
ago, I (calmly) dared the proponent to install any number of Perl XML
modules under Mac OS X. After all this time, it's still horrid stuff.
And then there are those who, at the mercy of their ISPs, don't even
have the choice of installing an XML parser.
That said, XML parsing has become a regular part of the modern
programmer's nutritious breakfast. There're mouthfuls of RSS to
consume, the Google Web API to Google, and the breadth and depth of
the Amazon to explore. What's a happy parser-less hacker to do?
I just co-authored a
book, 1/4 of which relied heavily on the availability of not
only an XML parser, but a SOAP stack. Faced with the reality that
more than a handful of readers wouldn't have either at their disposal,
I wrote a hack sure to turn the stomach of any XML purist while
turning many a hacker frown upside-down...
"NoXML, Another SOAP::Lite
Alternative" for the Google Web API.
XML jockeys might well want to avert their eyes for this one. What is
herein suggested is something just so preposterous that it just might
prove useful -- and indeed it does. NoXML is a drop-in alternative to
SOAP::Lite. As its name suggests, this home-brewed module doesn't make
use of an XML parser of any kind, relying instead on some dead-simple
regular expressions and other bits of programmatic magic.
Elegant? Depends on your definition. Pure? As the driven beach
sand. Work? You betcha!
Programmers Are Idiots
Programmers Are Idiots
08/02/2004 01:32 PMSo I'm out here in Boston (home of the Free Speech Zone) at a seminar on distributed enterprise
application development. The instructor is Pinku
Surana, who certainly seems to know his stuff. I found this interesting article in his blog, where he argues that
programmers are idiots, and I have to say he makes a pretty good
case.
I occasionally teach IT programmers. I've taught over 100
people now and I can honestly say I've met maybe 5 good programmers.
The rest are dangerously incompetent. In fact, they are so profoundly
ignorant of computer science and programming that they actually
believe they are fairly good. This is the perverse effect of
ignorance: because they don't know what they don't know, they think
they know everything. Brookes' Mythical Man Month described the
uberprogrammers who are mysteriously 10x more productive than the
average. I would go further and say the uberprogrammers aren't really
so uber; rather, the average is abysmal.
He goes on to say that if non-IT companies want effective software,
they should ditch their programmers and demand flexible software from
vendors.
I agree with him on the first point. We, as programmers, are not
nearly as good as we think we are. I think it probably stems from the
fact that even a novice programmer knows more about computers than
nearly everyone he knows, and they all praise him for being "so smart"
when he fixes their printer or gets rid of their virus problem. My
mechanic is "so smart" about replacing my car's water pump. Noone
really praises him for it because cars have been around a long time
and there's not much magic to them. I don't think I'd have my mechanic
build me a new car from scratch, though.
I disagree with Pinku on the idea that you can solve your software
problems by demanding configurable and interoperable software from
vendors. It's a great idea in theory, but when you start dealing with
vendors in reality, it quickly breaks down. We already demand these
things from vendors, and they either don't deliver, or don't deliver
as expected. Most programmers dislike vendor solutions because they're
crappy in some way and hard to integrate with. That's because the
vendor's programmers are idiots, too. The vendor's programmers spend a
lot of time griping about how the customers write crappy architectures
that are hard to integrate with their "well-written" solution. So,
which is more dangerous, the idiot you know or the one you
don't?

01/16/2004 10:56 AMProgrammers are the foot soldiers in the technology wars: the closer
you get to the big-money decisions in the corner office, the less

But there are a lot of programmers and they make a lot of everyday

of technology success?...
Google: The Last Best Place for
Programmers
Google: The Last Best Place for
Programmers
06/05/2005 11:56 PMThe engineering staff at Google threw a big party for Silicon
Valley nerds last Thursday night, complete with band and Cinco de
Mayo-themed food and drink. The last time I visited was so long
ago that Segways were still cool (Google still has a few but today
they gather dust in a corner). Google has grown up to employ
over 3000 people and occupies a campus built for Silicon Graphics
(SGI; kids: this was a Unix workstation company that bloomed in the
late 1980s and faded as Sun grew). The center is built around a
volleyball court and an endless pool, complete with lifeguard until 9
pm. The company provides all of the fun things that profitable
companies can provide, e.g., haircuts, massages, day care for kids,
free meals, etc.
Larry Page, one of the founders, gave an inspiring talk about what
a great time this is to be an engineer. He recalled how at one
point Google had five employees and two million customers.
Outside of Internet applications it is tough to imagine where that
would be possible. Page also talked about the enjoyment of
launching something, getting feedback from users, and refining the
service on the fly. The Google speakers made a persuasive case
that there is no better place to be a programmer. No startup
company is going to have a 5000-machine cluster available to launch a
new service or a guaranteed first day audience of 100 million
people. Financially it might also make much more sense to work
at Google as opposed to a startup. For teams of engineers who
create a lot of value for Google the company is able to hand out
$millions or tens of $millions in bonuses, to be shared among a group
of 5-10 programmers. That is admittedly a small percentage of
the new advertising reveue that Google earns from a new service but it
is in absolute terms more than someone is likely to make creating the
same service at a startup, where hardly anyone is likely to find out
about it and use it.
One of the anecdotes that Page related was about an experienced
Silicon Valley executive who told him, several years ago, "in the long
run, every company is led by either marketing or sales; you just have
to choose which it is going to be in Google's case." This
prophecy does indeed seem to be true for the big tech companies.
Microsoft never does anything because an engineer thinks it is fun or
cool; they wait for the marketing department to notice a new product
from a competitor and then go to work. Oracle seems to be led by
their sales organization. They add features if customers are
telling the sales people "this is what I need to make it worth buying
the next release." Google remains an engineering-led
company. They launch Google Maps with satellite imagery because
they can.
As I wandered through the party and through the offices I kept
noticing more and more familiar faces and the names of former students
whom I remembered as among the smartest and nicest. They will,
of course, need all of those smart people if they are to deliver on
their long-term goals. Doing search right will eventually
require machine understanding of natural language, i.e., full
artificial intelligence.
