Why the hate on Java? Sure it's not sexy, but: 1) Almost everyone knows it so hiring is easy. 2) There's a very large community that supports its tools, infrastructure and libraries. 3) It's faster then almost anything else out there. 4) It

But it is black and white. If employees didn't like they contact, or weren't able to see part of it, they didn't have to sign it. Choosing to not read the Management Partnership agreement or even investigate it at contract signing time is n

Who are they going to sue? Themselves from 5 years ago for not reading the contract they signed? Skype doesn't seem to be an option as they explicitly wrote out in their contracts what they were going to do. It's hard to feel bad for the fo

Knowing only one scripting and one compiled language is a joke. To be successful you need to be able to pickup new languages quickly, like in a week. Sure, after a week you're not and expert in any language, or maybe even good at it, but yo
