Sometimes the fix cannot be implemented at the team level. It has to be implemented on a larger systems level. In other words, either the organization itself has to go bankrupt and be dismembered, or your entire team has to be dismantled

Software patents are utter garbage. We all know that. Most software patent attorneys know that. The system has evolved to keep lawyers employed. It is a way of taxing engineers to support lawyers. The plaintiffs need lawyers. The defen

QA testers are not in the same boat though. I think the post is about QA testers.

Supply and demand. The barriers to entry to be a QA tester are very low. Everyone with no art or programming skills that loves games and wants to get into the industry applies as a QA tester. If people unionize and prevent employers from

Are you joking? I travel to India frequently for business. I can assure you corruption is rampant at all levels I've had the misfortune of being in contact with (which is not very high level at all). You need to bribe everyone in Indian

Beautiful people, both male and female, work well in sales positions because they can draw you in by faking interest in you (the fake interest may be in the form of a question, familiarity, body language, etc.) A lot of people find it hard

The real question is, who are the naive suckers that actually donated to this campaign? I wish we could interview one of these donors. What goes through their head when they click the donate button? Do they just read the keywords like, "

What do you expect someone from Adobe to say about Flash? That may not have been the way he felt himself. He might have had to toe the company line.

How can someone that smart not ask for a verification photo where she is holding today's newspaper, or something like that. The guy is a physicist, can't he think of something like that?

I don't think that the code the author listed for Paul Graham's Accumulator Challenge is correct. The challenge specifically states that its for a number not an integer, and its any incrementation, not addition. I'm not very familiar with

But that's my point. People have been trying to get kids to start coding. What better way than to make the price of entry less than $300.

The weirdest thing about these Chromebooks is that they are terrible machines to code on. You would think that Google would make some sort of effort to put some free development tools on them to promote their technologies like AppEngine, D

This is one side of the story. Just because the author is a minority doesn't make this a true story. Its possible that the story is true, but I find it highly improbable in SF where juries are HIGHLY favorable towards plaintiffs in civil

Believe it or not, even learning can become addictive. I know a lot of people that have an addiction to learning new technologies, but they never actually build anything. The pleasure of learning new things is what they crave. They learn

The author is blowing the problem out of proportion. If Google uses the .blog TLD abusively or in a way that is irrelevant, users will go to another .TLD. There is no limit to the number of places users can go. The value in the mindshare

I hope Congress realizes that restricting the immigration of highly qualified tech workers has unintended consequences. If I can't hire good programmers in America I'll be tempted to open an office in India. Once I open an office in India,

Well, if you are banking on OS X as your platform for scientific computing, it seems you have chosen very poorly. I still don't understand why an organization would choose Mac Pros for workstations. That seems to me to be a class of machi
