Not to knock your experience, but imho C, Python, and Javascript are the BASIC of modern programming languages. (I don't know about Go). Additionally, there are different levels of knowing a language. You can write perfectly workable p

Early 50's here. I am switching jobs now, I'm at the top of my game, and getting the biggest money I've ever made. There are several factors, I believe. First, keep up to date. Certain things are really popular right now and

Depends on the experience level of the interviewee. If they are fresh out of school I expect them to know algorithms and data structures and maybe some specific topic they studied at an advanced level (like compilers, db, graphics, etc). If

I'm looking at that Google report link and it says, for 2017 Tech, 39.2% asian, 53.2% white, whatever that means. It's worth mentioning that for 2017 leadership, the Google numbers are significantly different: 26% asian, 68% whit

I'm currently an MBP user (and have been for several years). But I find myself not using the keyboard and screen that often, most of what I do is shuttle between home and office where I have better keyboards and larger screens. The min

This doesn't make sense. "Engineering force pretty much has no negotiation power in this." Of course we do. We don't have to accept an offer unless it meets our terms. "Engineering is a liability. Sales is an asset.

This, and it deserves to be underscored: IW/AJ continue to enjoy every single bit of 1st Amendment protection that they did before these bans.

This is not a reason to not ban IW. If anything, it's a reason to ban it sooner.

CEOs didn't decide this in a vacuum. Many of their customers and users and shareholders don't want to be associated in any way with IW.

I don't think Alex Jones knows how to code. And if he used an existing infrastructure like AWS, I would hope AWS would kick him off of it.

It totally depends on the company you work for. I work for a company whose stock is going up. This makes it a great company to hold stock in. Unless, some other company's stock is going up faster. Which there always will be, but I don&

The thing is, taxes don't really pay for the military. We have a huge deficit. It's all on the credit card.

US worker here with taxes above 40% (if you include state). My taxes are not high enough. We run a deficit. Schools don't get enough money. Roads have potholes. We have poor and homeless people who don't get enough to eat. Etc.

The pitch in their email is "plug & play SaaS analytics tool". This pitch tells me nearly nothing. It doesn't say what I would use it for, what benefits it offers, how it stands compared to other solutions on the market,
