   Soundex was designed for a very specific purpose. It is very culture-dependent and, in my experience, is working very poorly in most practical applications related to matching names.

   Time zones do make things interesting, but weekends are more or less synchronized. (Holidays are not, notably.)

   In my opinion, only the last one may be justified.

   Better is, imho, foreach (var e in employees) { // ... } because the iteration variable is essentially a placeholder.

   Yes, this is better. BTW, I saw people writing things like fs.id ,fs.file_hash and file_name = '.vimrc' AND fs.id = ot.file_system_id which has subtle advantages (such as easier editing). Also, I cannot bring mys

   An interesting read! I do follow certain rules when writing SQL, and I agree that having them and following them is a good idea. Plenty of what is in the article looks like good advice. However, these rules do not always appear to be consis

   pick the team to join solely based on the manager My experience too. Of course there are other factors, but this is (arguably) the most important factor of all; the rest are just constraints, and this is like the objective function.

   Interesting to see so many different opinions, and experiences. Apparently it is to a large extent a personal matter. My experience is that I seem to prefer a mix of available options. For example, my current office is about 30 miles away f

    Well, a lot could, of course. But the word agile is used rather loosely these days, and I think good advice can come from a blog with (almost) an arbitrary name.

    coming from someone of your same class/category I think you make a very good point here: it is coming from a colleague, someone who is on (more or less) the same track as you are, only a little ahead of you in terms of the care

    My comment does not imply that.

    I could, but first we would need to see where our common points are. For instance, you mentioned "the constant expansion": how is that consistent with the Camp David accord, Oslo accords, the removal of the Gaza settlements?

    This is becoming dangerously political. You think it is the fact, I think it is the opposite of the fact; not a good dialogue.

    I think the history of the state of Israel shows it is much less than trigger sensitive.

    I think I have to reluctantly agree. Collaboration is a huge part of a developer's professional life.

    Well, I do. There is a whole host of problems and issues associated with it. One is that the border is a murky legal area, US Constitution is not completely applicable there, and the laws that do work are not sufficiently known to the publi

    I agree with the main message: we are not underpaid. Considering the risks we are taking (both in life and in career) we live comfortable lives indeed. A side note: when you said "I didn't have to pass a single licensing exam&quot

    Very true. And, of course, it is important to remember that interviews are in many ways two-way streets: the candidate interviews the company just as the company interviews the candidate.

    I am of a different persuasion. Even if you are doing one thing, but it is indeed a thing , refactor it as a separate abstraction. You will end up with a better set of building blocks.

    Proportionally, the price may be comparable. For example, in Massachusetts, the current minimal wage is $10 per hour which translates into about $1700 monthly. 50-100 Mbps in Comcast can be had for about $40-60. Now, a monthly subscription
