It's so rare for a superstar not to know their market rate as to be unlikely. What I can see happening is that more corporations start doing SDE 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12, with di

You get phantom payroll until the next layoff. The truth is that often when you see a large company with a 5-10% layoff, it's a cleanup of phantom payroll and otherwise low performers.

Development is likely a bad example. Consider a grocery store. I'm related to someone who worked grocery in the 90s. There was a job called a Merchandiser that would fly to every store in a region, consult with the store to help them w

This may be an example of skating to where the puck is at. Consider that the new iPad has the same power as a desktop and can be used with a desktop monitor. (This is the $450 version.) You can also connect an iPhone to a display to an HDMI

Go. Your manager should be encouraging you to do so - it will open up a spot for them to find the right fit for what they're trying to do as well as keep someone valuable to the company.

This is exactly true. The real problem is that sometimes, we have people who are good at things that aren't important to the value we are driving as a team. For example, someone who really good at whipping up proof of concepts is reall

I'd rather the opposite: when luggage is checked in, a smart tag is attached. Then, it's retrieved right before leaving the luggage area, such that you know that the person who got the luggage is the right person. That said, that

I live with the aeropress and chemex and french press combo myself, but I will say my sister loves her espresso machine. It's also a lot faster than even the aeropress. But I also don't have the space for it and couldn't imag

Sprints are meant to correlate with frequent releases. Yes, sprints are a bit weird when we are talking about such large horizons. That sounds like a square peg, round hole problem.

Same for San Francisco. Two earthquakes and it must be returned back to the swamp. New York got hit bad with Sandy. Thirty years or so and we might level it too. It turns out that with climate change, nothing is going to be safe. And with t

I think there's a matter of scale. I won't hire someone who has been at 5 companies in the last 3 years, for example, unless they were explicitly a contractor. But if you're jumping every 18-24 months, that's expected in

Even in a downturn, you should look for good opportunities to move. The second management job is where you really start learning. But be really picky.

What isn't free about it? As a corporation, I might not want to use it in conjunction with my code, but that's the point. You are free to do what you want, but you in turn must share your code. Or you engage with the owner to make

I think it's fair to mention it, but with the specific caveat of "If your workload has these characteristics, we are a particularly good fit."

Frameworks enable ecosystems. Ecosystems enable reusable components. The more you deviate from one of the set of common conventions, often enforced by frameworks, the more you have to build on your own. The larger your project gets, and the

Scrolling down, I saw $389,000. It's there, just not at the top. Does that count?

The one that hasn't been mentioned yet is that the flip side of "managers want to see their people" is "managers' jobs are much harder in remote positions." It means that every meeting is via zoom. That's

I think there's a bigger issue at play that at some point I want to write on. Small problems benefit from small tools. Large problems benefit from large tools. However, small problems grow and your bet as a small problem is that your t

It's subtle, but the sheer amount of time that it takes to become a top level GM make it such that there's a bit of "GM Speak" that all of them seem to do. So, there is first a cultural variation: the way he speaks doesn

What if that's mixing cause and effect? If you have energy, you have refrigeration. You have the manufacturing properties to produce the things necessary for children to focus on education. You have the agricultural properties to incre

I think the point is explained further below - the author is making a reference to the amount of energy required if the world had a developed standard of living, not saying that we would ever use natural gas down there. > It can be done.

Note: I ran this and haven't yet been able to get img2img working yet. I borked it up trying to get conda working. It's been a lot of fun to play with so far though!

Or, alternatively, it might not be a great idea in all cases. Maybe your development team shouldn't develop terraform the four times a year they need it. It might even be faster to have two or three individuals with a singular vision f

Or, alternatively, a handful of gas plants working at this load like peaking power plants work now. So, for 72 hours or so, where the full need isn't met, we have some very expensive alternatives. According to wikipedia, some peaker pl

AGPL is open source but in no way business-friendly. This is much earlier than sponsorship and goes to Stallman’s Freedom 0. You’re looking for “source-available.”
