rock

It works, it's rock solid, and it's easy to code.

But a loose rock or slippery foothold puts you at risk anyway.

In addition, morale is at rock bottom, with a number of people leaving on their own.

I'd be thrilled to work for a Google or Microsoft, but what would attract "rock star developers" to Fog Creek?

But the trip sounds really cool, and now that you think about it, you're pretty sure you'd enjoy rock climbing in itself.

You need a supportive and decent partner who will be your rock of stability, not someone who will drain you.

Man finds a black kind of rock that burns; discovers that you can get a lot of this rock if you dig deeper, but deep mines have water.

I was able to get about 15k qps/core using this configuration and it was rock stable, running for weeks without need of a reboot.

In the patent community, the Soverain patent was seen as rock solid and one whose shopping cart idea was deemed far from obvious.

And I'm still frustrated that I can't go faster, and I rock in my seat every time I move ahead a little as if trying to propel the car forward.

But as someone who continually talks about hiring "rock star programmers", I simply don't see a result that I'd consider "rock star" equivalent.

But, maybe I'm missing something?Edit: More than that, I don't even consider myself a rock star developer, just a normal developer who loves learning new things and getting a lot of stuff done.

Learning basic rock climbing doesn't intimidate you, but you will have to meet people who like climbing, meet enough of them and cultivate enough social connections to put together three or four people to do this hike.

Anybody can buy rocks, but nobody can buy a man vacation, so a man who demonstrates ability to take long vacations must be able to buy virtually unlimited amounts of rocks.

What if Becquerel put his photographic plate and uranium rock in a drawer, saw anomalous results, and did not report on them on fear that perhaps somehow the plates were exposed in some other manner?The point is that barring gross negligence or fraud, scientists should be encouraged to share results that perhaps are inexplicable or against current thinking.
