Today I saw a co-worker take a link from a specific line number in our team’s github repository and place it in the comments section of a user story.

I had the awesome opportunity of taking the EE423 Speaker Design class offered at USC while I was going to school there. The class is taught by engineers from JBL, with some help from people like Tom Holman (the TH in THX guy!), who happens to be a researcher at USC. I learned a lot about speaker design, and ended up…

You shouldn’t use a spreadsheet for important work
I envy economists. Unlike computer scientists, they seem to be able to publish best-seller books with innovative research. One such book is Piketty's Capital.
