> Higher salaries mean less profit. It’s just how the game works. Software is sold at massive markup. No sane tech company is complaining about profits at the moment. Sure they'd pay less but if they bump our salaries they're s

This isn't a way that software is typically made. The contract will most likely be done and dev are not normally involved and it'll be written after the process of the software being made. I don't think in 16 years I've

Well it has kept me employee for quite some time now so that's something to celebrate. The opposite side to that it I think every commercial .Net system I've ever worked with / on has been an absolute mess. Not sure if it&#x2

Cutting corners assumes not doing things that are necessary. What I've found is that systems in the cloud are often unnecessarily resilient in areas which they do not need to be. The example of S3 is apt as often ephemeral files are ke

Ok 30 days do you have a link for that?

Wouldn't that cut off a vast swath of the internet from France though ? Some of the main big providers of internet services use US based data centres. I'm meaning: * Amazon * Google * Facebook * Netflix * Microsoft * Twitter * Ube

If this is actually true I think it has far reaching implications. I have many questions about this approach but lets take it slow for the French example: * Is there a list of these "things" if not how is anyone to know? * Who is

Ok so what's the actual minimum you've said two weeks here but where is this actually defined ?

Is that the case for any data that is passed into the USA then rather than just GA? So if I hosted my servers in any of the AWS US regions that too would be illegal if they have any personal data in them. In this case personal data is a ran

by Dave3of5 5y ago
Don't quite understand this at all. Can we cut through the clickbait and see what's wrong here. If my website askes users for their permission to use GA and they click yes then is that still illegal here? I see this as yes it&#x27

Yeah it's history repeating. I've said it before on here and I'll say it again I don't think running on AWS will ever be cheaper than DIY. It's kind of a fallacy and a sales tactic by AWS to tell you how the elastic

Yip, exactly! If anything it's a waste of energy right. A "greener" solution is the simpler architecture :D

He was very upset when I questioned the requirement. To give him the benefit of the doubt maybe it was an artificial question and the real question is how do you make a large scale "cloud native" system say something like Netflix

I interviewed with a company that was like this. Their Engineering Manager took me through a systems design quiz. The problem was simple: * 100k users updating their gas / electricity meter readings every second My first question was w

Good luck on whatever you do. You shouldn't feel the need to explain yourself but if it made you feel better then that's ok too. Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken.

I've always felt this for my entire working career which is about 20 years now (16 dev and 4 retail). Sick workers productivity was close to 0 in almost all instances. For Retail that meant they were not on the checkouts but out on the

Yip pretty much the same for me. I done one hacker rank on my last round of interviews and it absolutely killed my confidence. It was 5 questions automatically timed to 15 minutes. So in terms of completing it you really need to have seen t

Ted talks seemed like a form of Hero worship. Everyone loves a Hero and to stand up and yap on about something for an hour like you are changing the world you'll get someone to rally behind you, even if you are Elizabeth Holmes. Hopefu

Whoops fixed that typo lol. As I've said with others i'll put in more actual screenshots rather than those stock images.

I'll look at adding actual screenshots from the product, thanks for the feedback. I will reduce the animations as well.

Sounds like you are wanting top tier talent. In this case I agree then recruiters and job boards are not by themselves going to get you top tier talent. My suggestion is to look at compensation / benefits package. If you have a great b

I suspect you mean that figure for a London Salary. Up here in the cold North there are few people who make that sort of money. I've worked at a company where the director(s) didn't make £80k.

Yeah I agree I'm similar to you in that I'm a parent with 2 kids 16 years exp and these leetcode tests kick my butt. The companies making you do this though likely don't want someone like me. They want someone young who will
