My thought exactly. Also, if companies stop requiring 4 years of experience in a technology that came out 3 years ago in their job description that would also help. Instead, let people transfer from similar technologies and let them learn i

Do you have any resources on how to secure Mifare Classic against cloning? I thought it's inherently insecure.

The problem you can't really compare them, as you can't compare a bicycle, a bus, and a car. Sometimes you need one sometimes you need another. I used Airbnb a lot in the early days. My bookings were all over the place. Sometimes

This is the first time I heard of it. When I search for it I only find the Wikipedia article and 99 links to how to convert it to pdf. The problem with this is that from an average person perspective it doesn't have the pros. There is

PDF is great what it meant to be, a digital printed paper, with its pros (It will look exactly the same anywhere) and cons (Can't easily extract data from it or modify it). Currently, there is no viable alternative if you want the pros

Once I had great Google Fu. I could find really niche topics. Currently, it's completely useless for that. If it's not something that many people want to find, you cant find it.

If you sell a $1 product for $10 you can refund 8 of them and still double your money. Yes, for cheap Chinese made stuff the reputation is far more valuable than the products themselves

Kubernetes solves a huge variety of problems, as well as introduce new ones. Kubernetes is great if you need a scalable infrastructure, but currently, every mom and pop shop wants to ride the Kubernetes train. The main problem comes when so

Take-home test is my preferred method, but - only after I had a face to face (can be on skype, but not on phone) interview with a hiring manager/engineer, so I know I really want to work for that company. Job ads usually not very usefu

That hit me where it hurts most. I sometimes forget how to declare a class or how to initialize it, because when I working just click to another file and look it up. I had an interview a few days ago where I came out as a complete moran. I

With UW I can have 3 columns the main thing in the center. With 2 monitors you have a gap in the center or you have to put the thing on the side and turn your head (neck pain)

My problem I can do this when I'm alone or when it's a real pair coding. During an interview when stress and adrenaline kick in. I'll make a silly mistake and after that, because I'm judged by the other person my brain l

I would do it for one or two companies. If you can be hired by the first company of your choice, you don't really need it. What about providing a proper job description? Without it your company is a "maybe", till I talk to an

I usually just work from my living room. You don't necessarily need a dedicated home office. Also, because you don't need to commute you can move farther from the city center or even to another cheaper city/town. So you can g

People always forget that software engineering is a relatively new thing and still rapidly evolving. If you look at buildings a couple of hundred years ago(not the still standing, but the average) or the golden age of flying ~1950 it was mo

Same here. Sometimes I forgot how to define a class method. Is it def? Is it func? I can write Rubyish, Goish, Pythonish or PHPish pseudocode, but the syntax will be only 90% correct. I remember distinguishing features(like Ruby blocks), bu

Doing interviews (as an interviewer) greatly reduced my impostor syndrome as a junior software engineer. When a guy interviewed with 10+ years of "experience" couldn't write a for loop was eye opening. I work really bad under

Funny, but I don't talk about the same manufacturer. Think like the cloud providers: #1 Buy a server from Dell #2 launch an AWS EC2 instance.
