Discipline and Punish
The software craftsmanship movement seems to be completely divorced from reality. For one, I can't for the life of me work out why they would list "The Creative Habit by Twyla Tharp" as a reading. That book was…
good time to job hop
hopefully you can be honest about it -- if you are discriminated against because of this then that company is not a good fit for you anyway. I personally would be honest about why you took the break including calling it…
Hi. Yes, that sounds pretty normal for someone your age. My advice would be stay fit and healthy (eat, sleep, exercise properly) and think about smaller goals that you can realistically achieve rather than dwelling on…
in my experience, it's more effective to lay out a strip of ant poison on some cellotape rather than in the bait traps. More surface area so more ants can carry the poison away faster, and less deaths occur in the…
you seem to be arguing that the necessity for controls to counteract systemic racism are evidence that the racism does not exist. That's a total contradiction. You're also holding up the trades as the potential high…
I don't understand the down votes happening here. This is clearly an ingrained facet of Western politics and society. Why else would minority groups be over represented in prisons and below the poverty line, generally…
No. We emphasise the actions of white men as being more important those of other groups. We write out of history the acts and perspectives and contributions that other groups have made and somehow manage to convince…
I would pay anything for my kids to sleep through the night.
yeah the article is a bit fluffy. And I probably didn't answer your specific question very well (ie given that you can find the same themes elsewhere, why read Le Guin) I just think Le Guin works are still worth reading…
No. It's not gibberish, but you need to read more broadly because that paragraph itself doesn't explain. Read some of the surrounding text. Le Guin sort of writes social/political commentary through the vehicle of…
I strongly recommend that people think about workplace diversity when considering job offers. Explicitly ask about during recruitment phases and think seriously about passing on roles where the teams are dominated by…
that's the difference between solitude and loneliness. Sometimes you need solitude.
good luck getting your kids to do what you want, when you want. It'd be easier to sell or concrete over your lawn.
yeah. What kind of nut-bag edits config files using a text editor.
Yes. It appears to be some random, obscure, snake-oil like project. These are a dime a dozen. You can't use them all, and in most cases you are just as well off using none.
advice to anyone entering the workforce: form an honest opinion of what your skills can fetch at market by researching salaries, work on your negotiating skills, have a backup plan so you are confident to walk away if…
I don't think it's about being able to read text written in rows, although if you can't see that kids aren't particularly good at that initially, then you mustn't have spent much time with kids. (Hint, they learn to…
A senior recommended this to me when I was a junior. My attitude at the time was that things would take as long as they would take and I wasn't sure how long that would be because I had never done it before. Obviously…
The reason I'm still a developer in an office is that it pays a shitload of Enterprise(TM) dollars into my bank account. I can work my guts out from 8.30 to 5, get a fuck load of code written at someone else's expense,…
Cereal is a sugar delivery vehicle, but juice is good as gold. Right.
33 y.o. Dad of 3, and a far better engineer since having kids. Since becoming a Dad, I learnt the value of time, I learnt how to get stuff finished when I have a chance to, I learnt empathy and tolerance, I learnt to…
Way you go then.
She's a dog. Tie her up.
