I think they're talking about level 4 (by Dante's reckoning).

Sounds like Lampshade's Razor

Ear one day, gone the next.

You're welcome. October will mark 16 years for me, and I'm happy as a clam!

Congratulations! The years get better and better. :)

Veteran Mentor Network[^]

TL;DR - Network if you want. It's up to you. Like many other areas in life, you'll have to put some time into it in order to gain any benefit. Benefits aren't guaranteed, of course, but you're guaranteed to get nothing out of LinkedIn if you don't put anything into it. I get contacted by recruiters often, but it's easy to tell the garbage from the real jobs. One benefit I have is that I live in an area with limited senior-level development talent, so many of us know each other, and know the companies. Every now and again, a new company enters the area, and they spend time looking at LinkedIn. This lead to one job that I had, and it was a good job. I only left that place due to a change in leadership; leaving was my vote of no confidence. That said, LinkedIn is more than just your profile. I'm part of a military veterans group on that site, and that's afforded me several opportunities to talk to people I wouldn't have otherwise come across. I enjoy using LinkedIn, but I also understand it's not for everybody, and I don't look down upon people who don't use the site.

This heap is spread all over the place!

I can see we're divided on the issue, and I take this as a sine. As such, I had to look up Euler's number to see if he could help Laplace transform this mess in time before we go off on tangents.

When their returns are void. Sometimes they just need to switch it up a bit.

Even from your friends?

You could also sell some apples and androids, or even some new windows. All of the New Technology offers an array of options.

I agree with what's already been posted. Make sure you explain the *why* of your decisions instead of the *how*. Many developers will explain how something works but they leave out the reason that they chose that solution in the first place. For example: - Explain why you chose a commercial solution over an open-source solution (or vice-versa) - Explain any failed attempts at complicated code before arriving at the current solution - If it's not obvious, explain the problem you were trying to solve with certain pieces of code Chances are the next developer will be able to work through your code and understand *how* things work, but typically documentation is the only way to explain *why*.

I Quake just thinking about it.

Let's mammal it over.

That's hilarious! I was going to comment with something along the lines of: "This is your car. This is your car on Instagram? Any questions?" But there's no way any graphics I find would match the IG comment. Thanks for the smile. :)

Thank you for the replies everyone. Yes, I will give these songs a listen, for better or worse. ;P

We have thoughts of the day, we have jokes of the days, we may even have daze of the day (allergy sufferers understand). Why not have a song of the day? Respond with what you're listening to currently. :) Nightwish - Deep Silent Complete
