Most people will have worked on laptops that have the software installed that allows them to completely brick the device. It just makes me wonder what they'll be doing with 1000+ laptops and other devices. Do they expect people to send

Well, sure. I think they were going with the wave of success and simply didn't stop. I've seen companies grow very self-indulgent because of their success many times over. The fun bit is that in the USA, you can (almost everywhere

20+ Years of experience, most chairs are budget, most screens are budget Dell, most keyboards came packaged with the Dell offer. It's unimpressive 9 times out of 10. In the rare case you do find a good setup you tend to also see people

Ah, you got me. At least I'm not dependent on other people seeing my material things in real life nearly as much as my hypersocial managers ;)

It's about a whole list of things and many shades of gray between them: control, social needs, the need to be seen, crappy home life, unprepared for a home office, etc. My managers at work (I'm a software engineer) tend to not hav

I started out web-development in 2001 (recently worked for Apple as a senior front-end engineer), and to me the 4 eras of JavaScript are: 1. Form alerts and confirms 2. Ajax, jQuery, and plugins 3. Frameworks, from Handlebars to JSX 4. Revo

The day job interviews for programmers ask "write me a language formatter, you have 3 hours" I'll probably end up in jail. Those things are way beyond my skillset and I'm glad smarter people than me exist. If you're

Finally. I had a custom CSS plugin setup to do exactly this. Took me 3 minutes to figure out.

It feels like a huge step backward in terms of all of that. It's what Flash used to be, except less blatant security risks I guess.

And I completely disagree with the complaint and his examples. Too saturated makes things look unrealistic and plastic. I prefer scenes that make me think "holy shit, this looks like real life" instead of "yawn, another movie

For stand-alone components? Sure, that's good practice. But if you have a `section` with a `h3` inside of it, there's nothing wrong with using `margin-bottom: 1rem;` for that `h3` element. It's the best practice because it le

The problems he's tackling weren't problems, and his solutions are a bombardment of utility class names in your HTML, rendering it extremely and unnecessarily verbose. It makes the HTML less intuitive to read, too. A `<div clas

Did not get rejected, and I loved working at Apple despite the red tape. The only reason I no longer work there is because I moved to a different continent :)

Yeah, it's a filter we actually got from management at one company. They were looking for specifically agreeable type of developers. It was a consultancy and they needed to put 5 more developers on one of their big clients, and the cli

My experience with problems that can't be solved with a Google search is limited. I tend to use existing technologies and I stick with an architecture that has been around for long enough to have proper support online. Still, sometimes

~250 Candidates? Sure mate, I'd be surprised if at the end of your application process 5 of them remain and are still available. Companies are having a very hard time finding software engineers. For the first time in the history of the

I'm not a badass, I am just laying out a baseline: I know what I'm talking about. That's all. And no, many companies don't have 1k applicants that are qualified. They have 5000 applicants in the SF area, 4900 of them are

Absolute nonsense. In a field where very experienced people are in high demand, they'll bend over backward to offer you the job. I have references and a long history of employment. I'm not "negging" them (also, grow up),

If math was a programming language, all mathematicians would be fired for terrible naming conventions and horrible misuse of syntax freedom. Honestly, most math formulas can be turned into something that looks like C/C++/C#/J

Yeah, most restaurant owners, regardless of the number of Michelin stars to their name, aren't rich at all. Nor are their top class chefs. You'd make more money working in IT and your hours are far less stressful. If you want to m

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Shit, for adding an array of objects with numbers just use a simple map/reduce instead of confusing future developers with your fancy curry. Whenever I run into a curry, I can usually

Treating the symptoms, no matter how clever, isn't going to cure the disease. But it might give us enough time to actually get to the cure. I always wondered how large a satellite we would need at the ideal spot between the earth and t

The government isn't preventing anything, it's a free market. The only thing that needs to change is to prevent companies from buying houses meant to be sold for ownership who then rent them out instead. That is working against th
