I'd be interested in a satisfaction by industry - or better, a combination of industry and field.

I think it was Dan Abramov (the creator of Redux and quite a few other things in the React ecosystem) said to start with React only ; then, when your application gets complex enough to need other things (Router, Redux, etc.), you'll k

But they don't need to know your current compensation, they only need to know what you require if you take a new job.

If the bank doesn't have a disclosure/bounty program, you can easily end up getting yourself arrested.

I wonder if those games didn't make money, or just didn't make enough money. I'm thinking AoEs and Flight Sim.

>The thing is that: using offshore tax havens isn't corruption. It's legal. It may or not be legal, I'm pretty sure a lot of the people in the list are using for Tax Evasion.

When you say "make a living" - how does that compare to a "typical" US developer salary/benefits - say around $120K total compensation? (and yes, I know that's far below a SV total compensation, but you wouldn&

I used to volunteer for NILMDTS, an organization that does this across the US (and world?) for people who's babies were stillborn or are going to die soon after birth. We would do professional portraits with the parents and baby for fr

I doubt that the developer's didn't know not to trust the client - they likely made a business decision. I (used to a lot more) play Elite: Dangerous. A space sim that has multi-player. They made the decision to use (mostly) p2p&#

Agreed, they don't do that good of a job, and nowhere near as good of a job as the high-speed "normal" designed hand dryers.

No, because they (the bootstrap people) can't know what your semantics are for the particular piece of HTML you are marking up. You might want to use 4 columns for a certain type of information in one place (Employee Data) and 4 colu

Did I read the 2014 annual report correctly and they had $20+ billion in profit? I think they can afford to keep the pension plan the way it is.

With the Citizens United decision, that's no longer possible without either a Constitutional Amendment or the Supreme Court overturning their own decision - neither one is very likely.

Actually, pension plans are pretty good when the company/government funds them the way they are supposed to be funded.

And considering that they haven't passed a state budget since 2014 , I don't see that happening any time soon.

Yes, but I'm guessing if you want to see the twitter feed, you'll need to have an account (of course, I should probably read the whole article in case it talks about that too :)).

I think part of the "Extreme" was also to "turn the practices up to 11" - eg. Code Reviews are good? Then we'll have continuous code reviews thru Pair Programming. Short Development Cycles are good? Then we'll

I completely agree, if you have to think about where to put your fingers to type, or look at the keyboard - then you're not thinking about the code you're writing (or at least, you're not 100% thinking about it).

I think we need to be careful about what "tolerable lives" means too. I've seen "guaranteed income" proposals talking about something in the $25,000 USD range or similar. That's basically poverty level - and wh

If you haven't already, you should make sure to write that experience up on Glassdoor as well.

Not the OP, but I used egghead.io (subscription version) - the Redux stuff is completely free though and it's from the author of Redux himself.

If they haven't actually A/B tested this, then perhaps nothing has changed and they could also realize an increase in sales if they did the same thing. Because they are big they probably wouldn't get as big of a boost, but ag

I moved around in the company, trying to find someplace that was different (e.g. more like a software company) - and I finally did, about 4.5 years ago. The department was outside of the official IT department, because we are vital to the b

People who vote are the electorate, if you don't vote, you don't matter. But to answer your question, it was voters.

Actually, that's not true. In Florida a year or two ago, ~58% voted to legalize medical marijuana, but the vote needed 60% because it was a ballot initiative. How come the Florida reps didn't go ahead and do it themselves since ob
