The media likes to imply that the only tech companies are start-ups or Google, FB, Amazon and Apple but in reality there are plenty more established companies looking to implement new (and well-established) technologies.

Yes it's certainly lighter than others I've tasted (Laphroaig and Lagavulin). I do like the smoky taste - what smaller distilleries are there that are heavier on the smoky taste?

I tried an Islay malt recently ( https://www.masterofmalt.com/whiskies/caol-ila-12-year-old-w... ) that was matured in bourbon casks which softened the smoky flavour somewhat - very nice

Looks like a good exhibition - I'd go if I could get over to Weston-Super-Mare easily...I never liked the big hype around Banksy but did like seeing his work when it appeared. And there are other really good artists there too (ones I p

It depends what you value. If you value your work on products above everything else then fine. The reason that people commonly say things like "the time with people in your life is what really matters" is because that actually mat

I haven't heard of mithril until I read this thread but I think I might give it a try. I've only just picked up angular to build a form app served from a node server that communicates with good old soap services. I've kept th

Yep and if you know the fundamentals then you can pick up a new framework in a couple of weeks because these frameworks being discussed are built around core CS concepts and patterns borrowed (rightly) from elsewhere. I was recently at a jo

Probably because javascript engines (since 2008ish) are constantly improving and each new ES version adds new specs/features so there are opportunities for the smart, brave and foolish to build libraries and frameworks for these. I thi

I totally agree with the point about always needing to learn on front-end because things are always changing...but having recently been exposed to the Java world there is a huge amount of stuff there too and if you're a server side dev

Maybe base your self-worth on whether you are doing something you love, or at least working towards it; rather than the end result of doing that thing. So regardless of how the projects turn out are you enjoying each day that you get to sit

Totally agree - i'm currently a scrum master and doing development in the team. I try to reduce meetings as much as possible because the process itself doesn't yield results - te team does. An empowered, enthusiastic and communica

We've switched our standup format to only talk about the tickets on the board and the daily actions needed to move them to the next stage in the process. This avoids pointless status updates and keeps everyone focused on getting the pr

"With huge front page traffic, it’s hard to believe that a good story would only get 4 or 5 up votes in its 3 hour window on the front page, therefore, it makes the first 3 upvotes look very suspicious." This article makes a BIG a

And for the cost of Beats I know I could spend c.£170 and get Sennheiser HD25s which are the best headphones I've ever used and I believe a lot of other people agree. This is nearly half the price of some Beats models.

Good points - I think you need some kind of spec or something to reason about. But I don't think it needs to be complete because it is easier to iterate on software than buildings. Taking the building metaphor, you can't clone a b

I work from home two days a week and the issue I have is actually switching off so I typically start early and then keep going with less breaks than in the office. Maybe this feels easier because it is more comfortable at home and not an ab

I think my statement about waterfall is misplaced - really I mean the benefits of scrum in my experience outweigh the negatives but I can't say the same for waterfall. I'm well aware of alternatives to Scrum and if I could choose

I think the OP's mindset is flawed and perhaps had some bad experiences/coaches with Scrum and possibly only one go at it? I'm not sure why anyone would say "Scrum doesn't want to solve this". When I've wo
