It’s a thin line to walk for me, but I feel that the whole “skill atrophy” aspect of it is the hardest to not slip into. What I’ve personally liked about these tools is that they give me ample room to explore and experiment with different a

I can totally relate to that feeling but after a few rejections, and having to work 9-5 during the day and prepare in the evenings with a drained battery, it just totally kills the motivation. Maybe it's the type of circumstance when i

In my experience this never worked for me for the simple fact that I never had the skill and time to even GET a second offer to bargain against. I wouldn’t say I’m a bad developer, but I’m definitely horrible at interviewing and having to j

This is a post that just reads as if the author is still in the “honeymoon” stage of their career where programming is seen as this extremely liberating and highly creative endeavour that no other mortal can comprehend. I get the feeling an
