The company I am at now was all of those things when I started, it is none of those things now. You work at relationships, not jump ship and talk about them behind their back.
I suppose I am in the minority when I say I was in the same sort of position but stuck with it. I was hired to work on a zombie of a product, walking dead, unprofitable. The problem was there had been no direction for…
Vesper isn't either, just below this post are 3 vesper related links.
This post smacks of reactionary prejudice. Some people are different than me? Something must be wrong with them! I am better than you because I wake up before you! You have got to be kidding. If this post was written 40…
I read the original article as a PSA. It was basically saying "this thing exists and you shouldn't feel bad if you have it." I don't see where it was making excuses. If you recognize that this is a real problem, you can…
I am pretty sure I have some version of DSPS, or maybe I am just a night owl. I've tried for years to fix it, going to bed hours earlier, locking my smartphone in a drawer, setting 12 alarms 2 minutes apart, taking…
I read the original article, I didn't see the part where it said it was OK to be late for meetings. If you say you will be somewhere at a certain time, you better be there.
That's what people said about the telephone!
I was at the grocery store and the cashier motioned to my hand and showed me her ring and we had a short discussion. I felt happy that I had this bond with a person I had never met and then immediately very sad that she…
I suppose I am lucky, my immediate supervisors are both P.Eng because of the nature of what we do. I agree though, I don't think it matters much in the software field. I don't have the required amount of work experience…
There are very many "Software Engineers" that are not actually Engineers though and many job postings looking for a Software Engineer don't actually care if you actually went to an Engineering school. I think that is…
We were instructed that the ring was to be worn on the dominant hand so that it could rub on the page while writing or drafting and serve as a reminder of our obligation. We were also told that the beveled design and…
When I resize the window the day counter at the top overlaps itself. And why is it upside down in the first place?
Is it stealing if you cash checks on an account you know is overdrawn but don't say anything? They gave you the money, it is up to them to verify the balance on the account, right?
Skiing in Tribes was originally a bug, and it became an essential feature and set the franchise apart from other shooters. Exploits in speedrunning aren't often easy to do, and finding new applications for them are part…
Blackjack already has a reproducible flaw, it is called card counting. It is not illegal, but casinos frown upon it and often ban people who are suspected of card counting. I would argue that noticing and exploiting a…
Not being able to choose where things get installed killed Ninite for me. Their reasoning is "where an app is installed is an implementation detail that users shouldn't worry about." My SSD can only hold so much, and I…
It's a popsci article. I wouldn't go criticizing the scientists based on this.
How could you not see how Instagram is a thing? You can take a picture then press few buttons and now everyone you know can see your picture. If you don't see how that is popular maybe the problem isn't with Instagram.
"Under Microsoft's current guidelines, which may still be changed, the decision of whether a game will require an internet connection to work and if that is a one-time authentication or a constant connection, will be…
