I have seen the situation you describe many times in the past, the bit about being expected to be a code monkey, not the COVID19 caused challenges. In many reasonable sized projects, there are several tiers. Domain experts provide the requi

5G is about faster connectivity not cheaper. Wireless mobile broadband requires massive capital outlays, so it is unlikely that prices will be coming down anytime soon. The carrier's only concern is ROI. Contrary to what their market

If you are upset after 24 hours, then there is an obvious clash with your values. In which case it might be best to stop dealing with both companies and the respective recruiters. Unethical behaviour tends to be recurring. There is no way

What I don't understand about Bill Gates is why is he prioritising African Health Systems over his own home country's? He made his billions from corporate America and the rest of the Western World and yet he doesn't feel the

It isn't easy to get a security clearance and when you get one it becomes very lucrative and rather easy to lose if you are careless enough to divulge what you shouldn't. So don't expect any answers.

It is hard to do. You can explain that what should have taken x hours, took x+y hours because of his many changes. You cannot work for such low-income. So your new rate is what is reasonable in light of the past experiences with him. If he

The "gurus" you speak of are attention seekers. For them bleating on about some aspect of COVID-19 is just part of their PR playbook. Knowledgeable scientists are the first to admit that the situation is novel and that they are to

I presume that you mean "medical" doctor. I also presume that this is a hypothetical statement. You have not completed your medical training. Would be very interesting to read about your experiences once you have become a doctor a

Probably much the same. Perhaps with so many startups it will be harder to build a team of superlatively talented engineers. However, very few products since then have had the same level of ground-breaking vision. Maybe there are very few

Learn to touch type. Don't look at the keyboard, just read what you are typing. Some touch typing tutors are good for the exercises. Just like learning the scales on a piano. I do a lot of sysadmin work so I stick with QWERTY layout be

I have been experimenting with ES6 and Chrome Browser. Having DevTools Console open and directly manipulating the environment entirely through the console. It works. What it lacks is the nice tooling of Smalltalk, but that could be impleme

In my experience, a decades ago, many sys admins never wrote programs, not even scripts to automate their work. This was more the case with IBM and similar mainframes and minis. In those environments the networking and various subsystems we

I too find it hard to talk to strangers. What works for me is to encourage people to talk more about themselves and by remembering details use that in future conversations with others. If you are a native to the town, then surely you know o
