Breaking the 1000ms Time to Glass Mobile Barrier
An excelent talk by Google’s Ilya Grigorik.
Here are the slides from the talk
Programmer Swizec Teller and author of the (now) famous blog post “Why programmers work at night” has started a project on Leanpub to publish a book about programmers.
Quoting from the author:
[...] In December 2011 I wrote down a bunch of assumptions about Why programmers work at night (link) in a blogpost. I wrote it because I got tired of being called a lazy slob for waking up at 11am every day.
After 4000 tweets, 10000 likes and many emails I didn’t feel alone anymore.
The most surprising feedback were emails along the lines of “Oh man! I finally understand my husband, thanks so much for writing this!”. And it is because of those that I have finally decided to write a short ebook.
In the book I’m going to:
- Show fellow night-time programmers (and others!) that they are not alone
- Give practical tips on living with your friendly neighborhood programmer
- Support my original hypotheses by interviewing cool programmers
- Explore the modern trend of super early wakeruppers who approach the night time from the other end
So if you’re a programmer that feels missunderstood on your late nights of happy coding, maybe this book will be an ideal gift for your roomies, girlfriend, boyfriend, parents or even for your boss.
