Sorry, should've been clear. It's one of the MANY ways to make it less acceptable to be shits towards others based on gender. Also, It's "our" responsibility to fix it? Can we let "them" help out with fixi

Huh? I'm talking about my past and current work experiences, working as someone who gets viewed by appearances first, skills second.

It definitely does. I'm 27, look 20, and work as a senior linux engineer at a relatively high profile trading company. Until people see the work I do, they think I've been hired entirely through nepotism. It's incredibly frus

Yeah, I don't really understand this, either. Most of the sales folks (just look at her resume..) I've worked with 'look' like a non-technical person. They absolutely look like they're trying to sell me something

Ugh. I don't think this article said "GoPro" enough. I couldn't even get past the "click here to read more". How much did "GoPro" pay this guy to write this article?

It's funny you say that. Most non-college folks I've worked with have been significantly better compared to their same-aged counterparts. There's just something to be said about someone who just simply learned through absorpt

I've been thinking lately that "do the best that your intuition can" is the optimal way to solve these sorts of mini tasks. That way, when your intuition is right about 10,000 things in your life, you have a bit of leeway wi

Dang, this hits home. About seven years ago, I was fired from a help desk tech job at a local bank for 'bad performance'. In the exit interview he told me, "I don't think you're ready for this sort of job yet. You s

Thanks for the answer! It doesn't sound like it's entirely your tream's fault, then. Not having enough time because of fires and such often screams to me of bad management towards the middle/top. And considering who you

If you don't mind me asking - why is the process so bad for you guys right now that many folks are complaining? Also, your response sounds extremely canned, not gonna lie. Why not just say "Sorry about that, pm me your name and I&

My biggest annoyance to way-too-much-positivism is at Chicago's Open Gov Hacknight ( http://opengovhacknight.org/ ). The whole point of it is to use data from FOIAs or 'data portals' to either fix, or raise awa

Thank you for this. I think you hit the nail on the head. I was diagnosed with bipolar type 2 about a week ago. It's a very odd thing to experience a life of being "different" without explanation, then suddenly a thousand pi
