This seems like it'd be better as a wiki page than a Discussion post.
They also have quite high salaries.
Wikis aren't great for discussion or Q&A. The list of resources could go there though.
I put the links from the article here: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Programming_resources
Next step: copy in XiXi's stuff.
Consideration: Many more people regularly check the discussion feed than look at the wiki page.
A workaround could be having the actual discussion post in the wiki, but announcing it here.
Individual programming questions might be asked in the regular open threads, but list of resources and commentaries are the sort of curated thing which should be in an open wiki page. (Posts are really bad for that since they are so 'owned'; when was the last time XiXi updated the previous CS/programming textbook post http://lesswrong.com/lw/cpz/computer_science_and_programming_links_and/ ?)
Would it be possible to made standard posts free for editing? (Ironically I don't have the programming knowledge to know)
I suspect not. Such a thing is basically a wiki, then...
I think it would be best as a sticky, in some sort of "more permanent/ongoing" threads category. Do we have something like that on the wiki?
Well, every wiki page is a permanent/ongoing sort of thing?
There is a special threads page.
