> The trouble here is that analysis like this tends to document the symptoms of failure as if they were the causes. This also holds true for successful businesses! For example, you will forever read books on successful companies and they

I actually prefer working in the office. When at home there are too many distractions, too easy to go to the shops (or driving range) or start working on your own projects.

I don't think it is really a factor of age, although age will possibly give you more experiences that make you wary. I think it is more that people > 35 often have mortgages, family, children etc. While you might be happy living on

IMO, devops is a special kind of sysadmin, one where you get rid of the sysadmin and tell the developer to do it.

Having been programming for a long time , automation has been talked about for a long time and never really happened. We have had CASE tools, RAD tools and so on, but users demand for new features and capabilities increases at the same rat

I would think COBOL jobs are probably secure, they are not going to get rid of you quickly with few people available to replace you, but they are not abundant.

Yes, Apple didn't invent the smart phone by a long shot. But they were smart enough to know how to make the smart phone consumer friendly, which is where a lot of tech companies fail. Look at PocketPC which proceeded iPhone, not friend

A single permanent site will never happen. What I think would be better would be like The Open golf, they have half a dozen locations that are rotated between in a semi-random fashion. Other locations can be added to the rota if they prove

If you work with someone for a period and get to know them well then maybe asking them out might be ok. But straight up asking the new employee for sex never is.

I think Office 365 can definitely stand alone and compare with something like Google Apps (GSuite). That many people use it in conjunction with offline Office is more a result of offline Office being the incumbent during the transition.

Windows Forms is ok, but pretty slow and clunky if you come from using Delphi.

How do you justify to the person paying for it that you are are going to spend money to build essentially the same system? Often they don't really care if it is COBOL rather than something newer. The only way to justify is if the maint

I would expect that Trump will be leant on heavily to push similar changes in the US. Maybe not throwing evolution away in schools, but teaching creationism alongside.

He appears to be exceptional at one thing, manipulating people. The right wing have been manipulated by Trump for his own agenda, which I suspect is just a lust for power. People seem to miss that Trump is trying to set up a dynasty, he pla
