Well, we already got examples with companies implementing the "take as much PTO as you like" benefit, the counterintuitive result is that employees tend to take as much or less days off than what they had before in fixed amount, w

So, you think the French networking infrastructure builds and maintains itself? Companies tend to only build infrastructures in very populated areas where it will quickly turn to profit. French government and collectivities have to incentiv

That's exactly what they are currently doing. Current tax law applies to profits, so they shift them to ireland.

It is almost already the case. However, there is a loophole. To avoid crashing starting businesses, the current tax is on profits, not on revenues. What big internet companies like Google and Apple do is splitting their companies in several

This lacks data. We'd need to know the efficiency, life expectancy and energy production cost of the cells in order to know if this is really interesting. If you need more energy to produce the cells than the amount they'll prov

I tried hyper v2 recently, took some time to fiddle with plugins and config everything to my liking. It was usable, though missing the ability to launch different shells in different tabs (I'm a windows user, so being able to have a gi

Clickbaity title but I think the article makes a good point and we should invest time and thinking into expanding the capabilities of our fw instead of iterating over things that have been done to death.

Google used to own the most used RSS feed subscription service. They shut it down. So, not Google.

Agreed that it looks more like an investment plan than a loan, especially with the funds being unlocked gradually upon completion of assignments and courses attendance. My point was that if you strip out the marketing "good intentions&

I see. It makes sense, I'm curious to see how it will evolve.

So, basically, your company is part school, part loan agency. The loan business is offering to students a loan which covers scholarship in the school + 10k, and then bets on the job market for interests at 2 years terms. This way to put it

The thing is, considering the current state of web development, "front-end/back-end/full stack" labels just don't hold up. Knowing cache strategies, all the subtleties of consuming full blown services, orchestrating

There are things mixed up here, and it's my fault for bringing two different things in the mix. In the case of the advice given to OP to give their phone number because recruiters won't use their contact email, it's situation

" As a recruiter I am far too busy to be bothered emailing people who provide only an email address as their primary mechanism of contact. 999/1000 resumes include a phone number." I find this one especially funny, being cons

The question is tricky, because it suggests that getting things done and having quality code somewhat differ. For me it doesn't. In my company, code of poor quality is just not done. To get code in master branch you must have made a de

Everything depends on your experience, but in my opinion, companies that would only hire based on tech stack aren't worth working for anyway. And marketing yourself on your stack is a bad idea. Ask yourself, what kind of problems are y

Too bad the differences in translation styles make it really easy to spot which is which without even having to really read. :/ And I'm not even a native English speaker.

Well, maybe, I don't know, my only data points are personal experience and testimonies, which are not really the best building blocks for fully informed opinions. However, I'd argue that this depends a lot on what you value in lif

Depends on what you call decent and how far from the center you go. I'm currently outside of Paris, having 15 minutes on foot plus 15 minutes on train plus 15 minutes in Subway to go to work. I share a large two bedrooms flat (73 squa

Hum, I don't know how the system works in the US, but in France a lot of money is taken from the salary to cover for health insurance, unemployment insurance and retirement plan. Plus we have 5 weeks paid vacation automatically include

I'm not convinced. The existence of "complex" features in a language aren't an issue IMO as long are they're not shown right away. You almost always present to beginners variables, functions, conditions, loops, basi

Yes I am! Nothing serious though, mostly explorations of some tech stacks and tools that I don't have the courage to try out in the evening after work. But in the end I may boot up something non-trivial to wrap all up, if a find an int

Playing the devil's advocate a bit and getting into K's shoes, I could argue that: "those front-end devs that were 'forcefully' assigned to me didn't climb the learning curve fast enough and have wasted a lot o

From what I read, OP did speak up at the beginning to say that backend was late, but never directly put K's methods as the center issue, to avoid 'pointing fingers'. Even when transferred team members complained, before leavi

From what I've read, I'd say that you seem a bit too soft for a team lead. That's something you can improve though, but it looks like it's a bit late for this project. A team lead's role's spread across sever

Yeah, thought that was a great idea and was happy that the law was voted... and two days after, Assembly voted an article cancelling this one, pushed by the government. A big lobbyism at work and a "Europe won't like it and will
