I had a 1hr chat with the hiring manager (and two others on the call) representing my current client for a 12 month contract. The project was both new to them and myself so a combination of experience (as per my CV) and gut feeling on both

The 4hr take-home test implies you're not after experienced "seniors", but rather those self-titled seniors with 3yrs under their belt. Four hours of focus time is A LOT for a candidate with family responsibilities and heavil

I only know a handful of Americans and we often talk about the differences in our language. Even had an Australian join the conversation once too and it was a very interesting discussion. The use of double negatives stood out as something

Your job as a hired contractor is to advise the client of ways to advance their business. If they don't listen, or do listen but don't like your advice it's a tough pill to swallow. I had a client once who listened but decli

I use a KAGIS U43IP7UHD for my XBox1X (games + Netflix) and recently had the "television license inspector" drop by. The unit does not have any TV receiving hardware from the factory and therefore excludes me from paying a license

Hotmail originally ran on FreeBSD, as did WhatsApp (might have changed now). Netflix still uses it for their caching boxes and probably elsewhere in the infrastructure.

The learning curve from Linux to BSD is not much really. I took on a gig looking after 100+ FreeBSD boxes (IBM bare metal servers) and the transition was much easier than expected. The documentation is fantastic, and the separation of &qu

Draytek 2133 has served me well for years - ISP-provided wireless broadband router (in bride mode) feeds the WAN port with a public IP. Personal and WFH networks are isolated too via VLANs.

It also opens up an opportunity to hit the big reset button of life. A new country, new culture, new friends and even new languages in many cases. People have the opportunity to become a new person, and it's not just those with a crim

The "style" thing also applies to BMX - brakeless, no helmet and no knee/elbow pads. Natural selection is rife.

nLite was popular in the carputer scene. I ran a stripped down XP version on a low power industrial PC (Atom CPU, 1GB RAM, laptop disk) hooked up to a Lilliput touchscreen up front. Good times!

If you make the statement that you're a "10x developer" then there's a high chance you're not really. It smacks of arrogance and lack of humility, as a "10x developer" is really a fantastic communicator an

I'm a cyclist too and in the recent good weather I've averaged about 50km per day (split into morning/evening rides) during the week and usually a 70-80km ride one weekend day. Making the most of the weather while it lasts!
