We give off all kinds of signals in our behaviour, from how we dress to how we breathe to how we show up. A lot of the signals are cold, aloof, passive aggressive, disgruntled, dismissive, insincere, immodest, fake, insecure, uncultured, ig

I live in Japan and at first everyone was against it, now everyone is for it and a whole new industry is cropping up. HP is early to the market with their solutions and Fujitsu must also be sensing the opportunity. The reason the tides are

There are three main kinds of cultures: 1) superstar centered 2) technology centered 3) community centered Of these most companies adhere to 1) or 2) and a lot of the suggestions in this thread reflect that Nobody has really tried 3) that I

Calling a manager a boss already puts you one foot into employee mentality. The only boss is the investor. That's the team, the client's clients and the client in that order. Not everybody even knows this.

Have you ever heard of "the culture code?" it's a pretty good outline of what truly matters, and that's extreme belonging. We give out all sorts of signals and most in the tech industry are ambiguous, toxic and unciviliz

I've worked in a similar communications behemoth that was very closely related to the company in question. I have first hand experience with toxic, entitled, self-dealing management culture, poor-me devs, steady stream of clueless inte

Too big to fail is a complete myth. It's more likely the other way round.

The original comment was just the first sentence, I felt like it spoke for itself but apparently the hive was of a different opinion. I utterly hate this place it's like a stalinist gulag.

Total bullshit. The hoodie went out with the tonsure in the middle ages. How about rope belts, are they making a comeback too? Ok. I'll concede the hoodie has some utility for beach culture but in the office? C'mon.

Let me be the only leperous pariah in this thread to mention that the same rationale can be applied to the way we dress, as a culture of design professionals and engineers. Because UI trends can come in and out of fashion but hoodies and T&

That's definitely one way of looking at it but when you're a bank with projects in the tens of millions hinging on EmberJS, you'd think you'd be more sensitive to the plight of EmberJS development? I mean the open source

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. -- Ok all drama aside I can't help feeling like LISP is the best language you could have in this context because it's verbose, unamb

I seriously can't believe how short sighted people can be. That's bad business. I worked at a big bank too, you'd think they would understand about investment? No. They simply leeched off open source in the same way.

Murphy's eighth law is contrary to every success metric. People tend to say "..but we're doing well!" and that's supposed to be a bad sign.

Edit! With reference to the above comment I don't mean that these companies themselves would blacklist anyone but rather that their competitors would not hire anyone who worked there on principle to avoid that sort of association. Like

It's one of those things which are just understood but you can't very well rely on having worked for a competitor to land a job at another company Here is one article: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology

The argument has little do do with software in actual fact. What it boils down to in long-term strategy and investment. Building things well so they may serve you for years and years is a form of investment in the long term. There is a busi

It reminds me of back in the 68k Mac days you you could set your screen to 256 colors or thousands of colors or thousands of greys, where you had to choose a tradeoff of resolution and the greyscale mode was primarily for desktop publishing
