The root cause in the US being income inequality. Less people want to spread the wealth and more people expect a version of wealth. UBI is not the blanket solution I think most are expecting. It will open a can of worms. Give more people be

Most make it super easy. I think Amazon even includes a return label just in case. Waaay better than driving to a store with perfume masking stink, wait in line for fitting rooms, wait in line to pay. So many cons to going in store… most st

I have done both and can say: IF your product org pays you very well and you like the people you work with stay there. This also assumes you have freedom to do your own R&D projects. If any of the above is not true go the consulting rou

WPF is rightly put out to pasture and Xaml should have gone with it. Tooling is terrible. So much lost productivity.

XAML? Ugh. For those of us who worked on wpf for years using xaml and then used react native this feel like someone still in denial at Microsoft. I guess I should be happy my xaml experience is still relevant...

Only way to find out is take a road trip and stay in each place for a week or so. We did this years ago and you know when you found the right place. Of course do your research first and visit the top 5 locations. What most find is ideally a

With and without kids makes a huge difference. Without kids and if your an introvert- it’s a no brained. Buy you that 15 acre ranch (just for looks, we know your a programmer) If you have kids stay close to a larger city. Your kids will hav

Most companies have a list like this and other values they claim but rarely follow. In all large companies at one point the stars aligned and you had smart, connected devs and sales people that made a great product, executed and sold. This

If you are incentivized by bonuses your probably not being paid enough. Even worse when you depend on others to meet a goal (you almost always do). Jump ship if you can. The other scam is healthcare tied to employment.

ReactNative... amazing community and works as advertised. Been using it for 4+ years.

simple: most places view technical people (coders at least) as someone who is making money when they code. Its in-house outsourcing. Senior devs end up jumping ship when they realize they could make more money consulting. I would tweak you

Just as toxic if not worse is laundry detergent and especially fabric softener (scented of course). Here is a list of just SOME of the toxic chemicals found in commercial fabric softeners: Alpha Terpineol: can cause central nervous damage a

If a manager needs to do this it’s a smell of other team issues. A solid team is self organizing and delivers. You can mask the smell with someone policing... I guess it kind of works but will always be meh. A self organizing team is a mana

It’s hard to say. I think it will depend on the group social pressure. Encouraged = at least give it a decent try. But if it sucks for you and damages your life then stay home. Nobody wants to be around a sour puss.

A larger role will be the team you work on. If the team wants to WFH then your set, if that’s what you want. If your team goes into the office they will expect you to do the same. Companies that have a heavy management layer will be more li

Yes no doubt but good and bad code is not binary. There are different levels of good and bad code. The tricky part is determine for this feature what is good enough and not so good it took me 5x for when 1x of goodness would have given me t
