   >> 1. no one believes anyone can actually code - I experience quite the opposite. People expect others to be able to code just because they are currently employed as software developer. That's not true at all. Sooo many people ca

   I've done 99.999% of my development on a Mac. I took a coding quiz a few years ago that asked me where I could find the "ruby" executable on Windows.

   I can barely lower the tray table over my legs when the person in front in me is not reclined. When the seat is reclined, I have to start doing a contortion act to use the table.

   As a large person, I can say the aisle is definitely where I want to be. There is a good chance I'll be able to raise the arm rest on the aisle side of my seat, which gives me more room to fidget. I can also more easily get up to str

   Re: Chromecast, I found it to be buffering a lot of video. One thing that helped was buying a wired Ethernet adapter for it, and plugging it directly into my network. That made the Chromecast much more usable for me.

   Hey OP, I'm a self taught programmer and former tech recruiter. I wish I had a BSCS for the following reasons: - it would have been easier to get interviews at places I wanted to work when I had less experience - it would be easier to

   I guess the technocracy promotes free speech when it suits them & shuts it down when they fear it.

    Don't put too much faith in claims like this made by an anonymous account. Most SF-based software engineers don't make anywhere close to this. And we don't have any details about the breakdown between salary/hourly rat

    You just described my experience as a first-time CEO/founder. One thing that helped me was getting better at expressing things in terms of what I needed & why I needed them. It was extra important to make sure the person(s) with w

    It's a money loser to not accept credit cards, too. I don't like carrying cash. I'm likely to skip a cash only restaurant even if I want to eat there because I want to charge purchase & I don't have cash.

    It may not be illegal, but you don't want to have to explain working remotely to a guard/agent at the border. It you even hint that you are entering a country to work without proper authorization, you're gonna have a bad tim

    I hate the mobile Reddit site. It's slow to load, obtuse to navigate, and pushes the crappy mobile app on me. Before now, I had complained plenty, just not to Reddit.

    I initially read that as "I have been pwned by 1password", which is why clicked at all. How the brain reads things is funny sometimes. Hopefully that turns into a fruitful partnership!

    Good tip, thanks. The only reason I might like muzzle a bit more is that you don't have to remember to turn it on & off (according to the landing page, I have not yet tried it).

    I also kind of agree. If I do something for you, it's nice if you do something for me. So if I put work in to thoughtfully apply, I'm kind of expecting you to do more work than flinging a coding exercise at me. As a recruiter, I

    >> When I receive a CV from an indian person (from India), I don't know if I should expect 100% lies or what, even from qualified seniors. Be careful about going there. Discrimination is illegal & unnecessary.

    I was a recruiter for 8 years, and maybe 1 in 100 applications turned into a hire. I suspect a big factor is the barrier to entry for applying has been lowered. Just fill out a quick form and click submit, so people will apply to any job
