I am quite honestly sick of articles like this. The original title is: "Here’s How Much Money You Need for Bankers to Think You’re Rich" First of all: who gives a damn what Bankers think about anyone? I entered the labor market a

I love how they have a "share on hackernews" button on the side. As if hn let's you submit more than one url at a time. So the other way around: I would love to see tech recruiters with actual technical understanding.

Yeah, these things don't "just happen". I cannot imagine even in a relatively low stakes environment (let's say a photo sharing app) to fuck up that badly without getting a heart attack. I am in Spain right now and I hav

Oh wow that is a 'slow' website. After initial site loading it used up 100% of one CPU core for all the animations. When scrolling up and down the hiding / changing side menus and ads make it even slower. That is an incredibl

Robinhood (.. Markets, Inc ) is split into "Robinhood Financial LLC", "Robinhood Crypto, LLC" It looks that the RH Financial LLC is good enough capitalized but I wonder why they split up into 3 different entities? Or is

If anything, it makes the job worse by an order of magnitude. Arvato Bertelsmann is famous for bad working conditions. For example: circumventing minimum wage by (de facto) requiring unpaid over hours. They write into the contracts that yo
