This! When I was in my mid 20ties I was writing code in C almost non-stop, they replaced me with 7 people and a scrum master. Apparently, cheaper than giving me 12% raise I demanded (around 2015).

Of course. And group therapies are great! Especially, if you are trying to get a rid of addiction or get over some thing from your past. But group therapy make a little sense for a person that is in a different stage of his/her life. I

What I actually find is that teams that don't have jira or pr reviews have something else. They have the most senior people engaged and watching what is going on. Instead of being asleep at the wheel and requiring you to follow the pro

In 2023, I promise myself to play a hard ball with anyone requiring my presence on periodical meetings. I love to meet people, but not agenda-less people.

Successful companies do not operate on common sense kind of framework. That's an art available only to peons.

2 years ago, I have joined company that required me to use MacOS. Seeing all the cool kids of 2014-2016 use MacOS, I have been optimistic and kinda looking forward to learn new things. Boy, what a surprise. Today, I try to spend all 8 hours

Well, HR as any other power structure is to protect status quo. They will sack anyone if they see it necessary to protect the status quo. But more importantly, HR will create mindless policies to show you how powerful they are. As border fo

I don't think I have any links. It is just something I am noticing after 13 some years in big tech. And unfortunately, I don't think I can "describe it in detail" as that's what the ego wants. That's the whole

Ruby! What a gem. Seriously, I am super excited about this new release and I will try to deploy it to my prod during Christmas. Name any other tech that is 27 years old, that you feel excited about.
