At the very least you should inform the company about the upcoming conflict of interests on the horizon. Let them know you won't be able to start work on that project until you've both figured out your legal ground. As…
Something I also wanted to say. Consider changing your scenery. It might give a boost to your morale and supply you with new and better ideas. Perhaps find a job on another continent for a change.
I was there some years ago. I realized that the root cause of the problem was focusing on the wrong things (at least they were wrong for me). Tools are just that - they are tools. Granted, there are many of them, new…
It may soon be time for extraterrestrial emigration. This planet is done.
I'm sorry you're going through that kind of feelings, they're pretty heavy to live with on a daily basis. A month under that stress counts almost as a year. I've always liked France and its culture, and I speak French…
From what I heard French are obliged to surrender encryption keys at the request of authorities or go to jail for a few years for denying their request. The only thing that may be left is to pack your things and go.
(Russian here). I so much understand you brother (or sister). We've got an even harder wave of prohibitive laws and the local IT industry has been brought to its knees. Companies have been leaving, people have been…
>> shuffle at the company completely rendering myself and a couple of others redundant >> I have a good relationship with the company. Do you see how these two facts don't match up? The company used you. They most…
Never left them in the first place. Great products actually. Also lots of hardware available, everything is upgradeable. Not like MBP with soldered RAM, soldered SSD, weak ventilation system, no LAN and just 2 USB…
No, the disk is fine. I just wish that VM cost $20, perhaps $25, but not $57 which it costs now (I've corrected my original post, it was not $67 but $57 as I remembered wrongly). I wish to publish a relatively simple…
VCs are overrated. They can take your company and throw you out if they don't like you. I have actually witnessed that happen. Stay clear of them if you don't want to lose your business. Talent of SV is also overrated.…
Drop the prices for Azure VMs to the reasonable level similar to that of the other hosting companies. Right now the first tolerable configuration A1 costs $57 and this can be had for $15 elsewhere. Please also make your…
I'd be more curious to see a salary range analysis. It would quickly turn up that of hundreds of Germany startups perhaps a ten or so pay some reasonable money while the rest stick with the 40-50K range and set for…
It's not about the numbers. It's about people. Right now not a single individual can be trusted not to misuse somebody's personal details, through malice or negligence, and not create a severe risk for the owner. Being…
He said nothing of the kind. He said he was "an aspiring programmer". That type can find a good place in Europe as well. It's not the place that makes you successful, it's your efforts. Getting into the US alone won't…
You may want to consider Europe too. Many countries will give you their citizenship in just 5 years. No dependence on the employer, change them at your will. You also get free education for your children, relatively…
Agreed. The mere idea of having to globally expose your personal details is idiotic. Or at least it belongs to a more civilized society we're not seeing a glimpse of yet.
So if one wanted to knock over a competitor's business, it would only take to arrange for the owner to be unavailable for a couple of weeks, send this email, wait for the deadline, grab the domain. Profit. What happens…
The way most companies conduct interviews is one sure way to never hire the best talent anyway, even if they actually wanted it. So they end up with mediocre people, those who have memorized all the right answers to…
Actually, hiring new colleagues is part of the job. Developers MUST participate in it somehow, otherwise you get a team composed from totally random people who have nothing in common. You don't want to work in such a…
Companies use recruiters mostly because they feel they have no skills to perform hiring themselves, when they have no HR staff etc. Most of them are unaware that recruiters actually make quality hiring nearly…
>> recruiters have the network? They do not. Their "network" comes from scraping resumes from Monster and similar sites. They store this database of resumes and addresses then send out a wave of emails for every next…
I was trying to highlight the fact that if you intend on improving your Russian by hanging out on Russian community sites, you're going to be learning broken language and will be doing yourself a disservice in that…
Not quite giving you any tips, but a word of warning. Avoid learning Russian through Russian-language community sites based on user-submitted content such as comments, posts etc. For the last couple of decades we've…
It basically amounts to two alternatives: 1) they make it intentional for whatever purpose - stop scrappers, prevent search engine indexing, pull in ads etc. 2) they make it out of incompetence - probably somebody with…
