Off topic, but that doesn't resonate for me. Can't say much for MS, but for the others the essential CS skills questions (should be...) relatively uniform for all experience levels. i.e. they are at graduate level. Plus, Amazon co

Not 100% convinced by the conclusion. There is good project management which can be relatively fine grained, but it doesn't have to be micromanagement and it doesn't have to be a death march. There are some basic red flags raised:

Do what you love. Programming languages take years to incubate and in five years time you never know what will happen. Don't believe that a virtual machine based language is going to fly in true embedded environments other than toys th

I loathe cubes, the article resonates with me as this configuration combines the worst of most worlds. The pseudo-privacy of cubes does little to block noise and promotes anti-social actions. “Cubicles even make people behave badly. Researc

Do you mean like 'Ok Google'? on a typical Android device? Ok, that only works on the Launcher but I'm also familiar with tech on Qualcomm devices which does the voice keyword recognition in hardware. So this isn't anyth

Even if you take that argument at face value, do you think anyone could just have done that? There are enough failed and feeble mobile OS vendors out there (Symbian, RIM, Palm, Microsoft) to prove that doing what Android has done is hard.

The comparison of real life biology and the software problem is superficial in the first place. No one is releasing ‘Biological life forms 2.0’ and worrying about whether penguins stop working. The problem is that writing reusable software
