Even in today’s recovering tech economy, every open engineering position at a healthy company will generate hundreds, even thousands, of emailed résumés.

From 2005! That’s 2009 – 2005 = 4 years ago!

Good to be reminded, I guess, that sometimes our memories are short and this has all happened before. And, somehow, we’re all still here.

I really have nothing bad to say about Tim Gunn. Ever. He is, quite possibly, the calmest, least egotistical, least judgmental, yet most confident personality on the TV.

Also, he could totally take the What Not to Wear team in a back-alley knife fight. Word.
