Morale of the story: don’t apply for a CTO position. Apply for CEO: more money, less pressure, and you get to be as incompetent as you want.

Wasn’t that clear? The goal of, time and again, is always to increase the workers rights. Workers 100 years ago didn’t have the rights we have now, and in 100 years workers then will have more rights than us now. In that regard, working f

People thinking like you still astonishes me. We are talking about someone who is able to build a backdoor like this, and be so careless of: - using a name that reveals their nationality? - commiting at a timezone that reveals where are the

I cannot help but think this all sounds pretty much like a hack (a clever one, though). We do not handle, let's say low-level I/O buffering/caching, by ourselves anymore, right? (at least the folks doing web development/

Don't get it. If we have this amazing AI why don't we make good use of it? 90% of my job is not to write code (as a senior software engineer), is to: - deobfuscate complex requirements into well divided chunks - find gaps or holes

I don't think that's gonna happen... unless I don't keep learning. Let me explain: I started my career over a decade ago. I knew PHP and MySQL only. Then I moved onto other companies, learnt other stacks (frontend, node, post

I guess it’s because it would be hard to keep it updated. A review about the movie Inception is relevant today and will be relevant in 10 years. A review about the iPhone N will only be relevant for a short period of time.
