I would like to show my project Generated Pixels. In my spare time I like to write scripts and algorithms that create pixel art. I've now created real artworks that your can acquire for your office or home. I wrote algorithms that crea

What archetype can we attribute to someone categorising their colleagues into some pseudoscientific archetype? This is an extremely toxic way of dealing with other people and should be avoided. People are much more than a stereotype.

Cool product, but way above my bootstrapped SaaS budget.

We use a variant of Gitflow without a develop branch and without release branches. Gitflow has 2 major problems: - develop branch that will always become a mess over time - release branches are never completely accepted. It is much easier t

A lot of websites these days are "build to last", but that is almost always a sales argument with very weak evidence. It just sells well to the client because they think they buy something for the future. And every agency or freel

Working part-time has become very accepted here in the Netherlands. And that is not only women but more and more men started working part-time now. Especially 32 or 36 hours is very popular.

I worked in the same IT company for many years now and wile it's true that many people have experienced burnout and had time off. It really depends on the situation if they come back or not. In the Netherlands they have to offer a perm

I've estimated dozens of projects over the years and in my experience the more you split it up the more the total estimate is going to be. You can even use this a tool to get more budget/time allocated to your project. Break it u

Don't forget the sanity check at the end. If other people also add a lot safety hours then you will end up with an inflated estimation that is hard to sell.

I was in elementary school with one of the suspects. He was always a troubled kid. Very sad how that turned out.

In the Netherlands, it is also not allowed to bike next to highways or auto ways. Separate bicycle lanes have been made to navigate in different routes.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015) user here. I love this MacBook. It's the best laptop I have ever owned. My girlfriend has a recent MacBook Pro and it's just worse. The keyboard sucks, it's thin but feels metalic&#x2

Plus the stakes are high in the military. If encryption fails, missions may be compromised and people die.

I think this whole x hours per week system is completely flawed. If I can deliver the same amount of value in 20 hours, why would I have to work for 20 more hours and all profits go to my boss and nothing to me?

I live in the Netherlands and in our scout group, we regularly do nighttime droppings in which the children between the ages of 11-15 have to find their way back not knowing where they were dropped. We also sent them out sailing by themselv

Pretty cool that it can be used in so many places. More than shit, thing or similar words. It reminds of te Smurf language where they can use "smurf" and variants of it as a general name for a person, replace verbs and adjectives.

Weird title. It has nothing to do with e-mail. It is the MDM that is the problem.

Yeah, but what if you shove some other language/problem in front of them? Will they still be 10x more effective than another developer? I don't think so. My point is that you can become very good in a specific area so much that yo

I think the 10x developers are a myth if you compare the whole output versus another developer whole output. But it is very common that a developer can fix a problem or build something 10x or even 100 times faster than others. Simply becaus

In our agency a lot of our backend developers have moved their work on the business logic side of the frontend with React, managing state and routes, interacting with API's. While the traditional frontend developers work more on the vi

The dream of owning a house, owning a car, owning land is disappearing with more and more lease contracts, investors scooping up everything with large sums of money. Our society is fastly moving towards a feudal system. It will not take lon

Because I installed it myself and nobody else touched it. If you suspect your employer to secretly keep logs of your internet traffic to one-day claim your IP rights you seriously need to search for a new employer.

I don't know if you mean logging of traffic on the company network or all network traffic on the laptop itself. The latter is definitely not happening here.

I appreciate your concern, but in this case, there is really nothing going on this laptop that I am not aware of. Company e-mail is archived somewhere in Google but I obviously don't use my company e-mail for personal use. I am a bit s

Young people are more idealistic about how the world should be but less realistic on how the world really is. Over time life experience and responsibilities like work, family and a mortgage will creep up on you and slowly swing you to the s

I find that first advice a bit paranoid. What country are you from where it is normal that a company is logging and spying on its employers? I have a company laptop but there is no logging whatsoever. Outside office hours I use this laptop

Uber represents the new kind of company where all the risk is pushed to the employee, while all the profits are pulled to the company. Making all your employees supposedly outside contractors facilitates a race to the bottom between these c

Why is this weird? You can buy water in glass bottles, plastic bottles and paper containers around the world. Why not in a can with a cool logo/slogan?
