Is the hacker ethic harming developers? We don't think so, but maybe the idea resonates a little bit? On Monday Neil McAllister posed the question "is the hacker ethic harming American developers?" Slashdot picked it up and Tim forwarded it to the Radar list...


Updating my post from early June, the U.S. online job market still hasn't shown signs of recovering from steady declines that began in September of last year. Compared to the same period last year, there were 50% less job postings in June 2009.
