I am the 1% of student debt
Student debt is a near and dear issue to me, mainly because I have a ton of them. The New York Times posted an article the other day about people with more than 100K of student loan debt.

Good Developers...
aaronwhite:
Good developers share a lot in common with super-villains: both are highly intelligent, incredibly confident, and completely unable to estimate the chances of success.
