Behold my favorite picture of this awesome TechStars summer

During my search for my first “real” computer science job during my senior year of college, I compared a lot of factors for various jobs including city, company, project, salary, and benefits. The salary stuff was fun to think about (especially after four years of being a poor college student) and I was looking to [...]
Miško Hevery has written up a nice collection of tips on writing testable code on his blog. Some of the tips are a bit hard to understand and apply, but it sounds like he will be going into many of them in more detail in the weeks to come (or you can use this list [...]

Thanks to talents of the one and only Andrew Hyde, devver.net now looks awesome. The text I supplied is far from perfect and we still need to integrate the blog, but it’s a huge improvement. Thanks Andrew - you rule.
