Except that whole section where they talk about why they're not sure the individual did it this way. If the employee wasn't not fired they'd write the reasoning the employee gave or their thought process in better detail. Har

That is not an acceptable stance at an organisation of this size. Policies don't just exist on paper they're enforced through the process. No employee should just be able to "cowboy" a solution like this. How does someon

I was able to contact Google, provide government issued identification and they removed the 2FA on the account. Took about 3-5 days once I sent in the documents.

They're probably asking because it depends on the quantity they're making. I had a friend who asked me if he could freeze the soup recipe I sent him and while confused I told him it shouldn't be an issue. Later on I'm vi

Sounds like a much simpler life that for a lot of the readers here is doable. I purchased 3.3 acres of land this year to begin the process of simplifying. I'm leaving the software world over the next couple years to have a life of home

South Africa must have crazy latency considering no other region is even under 50 ms from it.

I think a lot of employees are in this situation but aren't going to say this because they don't want to lose their job or have it held against them and be managed out of the company before they're told they need to come into

I'm actually kind of surprised at how "low" the growth was from 2020 to 2021 considering overnight entire countries became dependent on Amazon for purchasing in some cases. I'm in Canada, with the locks downs, curfews, e

Isn't this the company that has a single prototype that the CEO has driven in the hype videos? They've got a long ways to go on the manufacturing side of things and at best look like they're 2-4 years behind where Tesla is to

Life changing is a moving goal post and it is contextual for the individual. Roughly 10 years ago when I first started in software development I was making ~$40k and thought I had made it and I'd be able to achieve everything I wanted

I'm Canadian, I don't think I've ever heard another Canadian say that mantra and it does make sense to some degree. There is absolutely "bad weather" because I don't think anyone will call -30/-40C plus wi

The code can have the least amount of technical debt, be written in the most simplistic way and be abstracted enough to allow the business to evolve but if the business runs out of money nobody cares about the rest because it won't mat

The reason is the city is loud enough and after a hard day of work you don't want to jump on the streetcar to hear the deafening of the city because someone wants the window open. The other reason is someone will open the window but no

You hit a tipping point with enough market grab that customers start to approach you without advertising. There is volume discount as you grow. There is upsell potential on the customers you've signed. As your signed customers grow the

Sounds like an opportunity for the country to start on another canal. They'll be able to take advantage of the clear demand, solve the issues of the existing, have a redundancy plan if either canal has an issue or needs repairs and I d

You don't even need them to sell them to you. It is possible to get information that isn't even public just by interviewing at a company. I've done interviews where companies have told me their revenue growth, their next year

This reminds me of work at a client where there were some issues. The code introduced a bug that causes all refunds to change to charges during settlement. When someone called in pissed and wanted a refund they'd be charged again 2 day
