It is usually a false choice. Unions don't stop layoffs but they can help to negotiate the terms of the layoffs and ensure that everyone is respected during the process.

Is it true that developers are rabidly anti-union? I feel like this may be changing. I think the discussion is very relevant to the npm layoffs.

This is unconscionable. We must unite against employers who think they can treat workers like interchangeable resources. I think we should start organizing a solidarity strike.

I pay for mine but not because I care about the certs. I have a better completion rate when I pay for the course (80% v 10%). I know it is purely a mental thing but it works for me and is worth the money I pay.

Interesting. I applied to DO about ten weeks ago. I had an initial phone screen, and they sent me a code challenge. I completed and turned in the challenge. Then I heard nothing for two weeks. I reached out to my contact there, and she got

This attitude, that I see frequently on HN, isn't very helpful. I taught myself to write code in a little under three months and immediately got a job as a Jr. Dev. I knew nothing about data structures or algorithms but I could write a

I hate ADP with a burning passion (as a user of them across three different companies now) but their points are totally reasonable. Zenefits looks like a petulant child and seems to have made no good faith effort to integrate with ADP prope

I've been consistently removing people from my facebook and twitter feed who disagree with me. Not because I don't want to hear their opinions, but because when I voice mine in response they are generally offended (I was usually j

Without documentation the government can just deny everything the whistleblower says and spend their time discrediting them. The only reason anyone is taking Tye's disclosure seriously is because of the documents Snowden provided.

Is there any recourse for the engineers who weren't directly affected by the collusion but were affected by the indirect effect on the market as a whole?

Is there any report on what services were compromised?

I should have been more specific. I was referring to the text messages. In what light is anything he texted her acceptable? Are you implying that they may be fabricated?

Is there another side that would make any of these actions acceptable? I can't think of any.

This seems entirely unfair. She publicly and viscously attacked him for not running his company (which paid her) in a way that best suited his interests. When he responds with "You hurt my feelings when you did X" he is piling on
