Market rate means nothing to employers. If they could give you 3% raise per year and get away with it, they would. The only way for non-union developers to protect their interest is to look out.

Not sure if one should favour 4 years in theory or 4 years in relevant work, for a programming position. For research, yes absolutely as it is straight carryover.

Finally, somebody confirms for me the way that I've always used to learn to pronounce very long words.

Sounds like I could give this one a miss. Too many motivational fluffs out there already.

It could be a hassle to keep comments as up to the date as the code they are meant to accompany, that I totally agree but I would argue with these main 2 reasons on why I prefer to comment as much as possible and update them as often as th

Very useful article. This is nothing less to be expected from a Communist bloc nation. Public media smearing is just one facet of oppression. If we are talking about Snowden as a beacon for freedom of speech and basic human rights, his move

Well, it was pretty much a big win for America after the war ended, economically with all that arms trade and diplomatically as the affirmed leader figure of Western bloc.

Hypothetically, a win for either Axis or Eastern bloc would spell disaster for capitalism. That practically guarantee that US would join in the fray, one way or another, indirectly or directly. Pearl Harbour helped alot with the decision ma

I beg to differ. Operation Barbarossa was the one turning point of the USSR invasion. Stalingrad was merely the consequence IMO as Barbarossa had led to German army being both weakened and stretched too far out. They simply could not compar

I agree, partly with that, yet I'd add more factors onto the equation. Let's say that 2003's Iraq was evident from an economic standpoint. On the contrary, the Vietnam war did not seem to net much profits from the get go. How

Interestingly, there have been multiple speculations on US's involvement in WW2: One is the good democratic fight versus the bad facists. US were hampered by the isolationist views held by quite a number of senators at the time, hence

Do read up more on the history of both wars as 'seeing a situation' was a pretty simple-minded opinion there. It took much much more than a call for justice to move the military gears. There were always political or economic agend

They are compiler engineers as well.

On one hand, you have web developers. On the other hand, you have compiler engineers. The difference in communities is quite stark.

Very true, for that I wholeheartedly agree and I do admire his earnestness in pointing what many may have noticed but chosen to ignore anyway.

Read the whole thing and my opinion is now slightly more favourable yet I maintain my point of "see more, hear more". I get the author's standpoint yet it irks me that he seems to think the majority of web developers out there are overpaid

Well, I didn't even read through the whole article. Your comment prompted me to go back and read everything, and I failed to see where the agreement lies. My point was that the author questions the values of his work from a rather high vant

Of course I meant in the industry itself. Project-based programmers working until midnight for $40k annum with no extras, that's back-breaking alright. Working 9-6pm, comparatively for $80k isn't.

I stopped reading about 1/2 way into the article. Brace yourself, the rant is coming... <rant> Too many red flags springing from a delusional, narrow-minded view which looked no further than the bloated world of Valley startups. Hop

For non-open source stuff, those pesky NDAs say "You shall not pass !!!". I think it's a very good idea, still. My two cent is, the reverse can be applied by showing the interviewee some source codes/designs/product.Good programmers definit

This may sound cliche but I also thought of a similar concept when reading the post, with the added aspect of reviewing someone's review for 'karma' points. Self-policing, so to speak.
