Aaron Swartz: How I Hire Programmers
There are three questions you have when you’re hiring a programmer (or anyone, for that matter): Are they smart? Can they get stuff done? Can you work with them?

Nobody wants to read your shit (2009)
My first real job was in advertising. I worked as a copywriter for an agency called Benton & Bowles in New York City. An artist or entrepreneur's first job inevitably bends the twig. It shapes who you'll become. If your freshman outing is in journalism, your brain gets tattooed (in a good way) with…

Ansible open-sources Ansible Tower with AWX
Ever since Red Hat acquired Ansible, I and many others have anticipated whether or when Ansible Tower would be open sourced.
