I always had a rule of turning down interviews at a company on Fridays. For me, onsite interviews are a chance to see what the company is like ie. stiff or relaxed. Dress-down/casual Friday masquerades that. Anyway, I always practised

Mark Nijhof has a CQRS book via Leanpub [1]. But I would suggest just read up and watch a little online and explore on your own. E.g any talks by Greg Young. The OP article has good further reading links. The pure concepts are simple. Imple

Second this. Over the 15 years that I have worked in the UK, most of my best friends are ex-colleagues. I moved back for a while to my native Norway and worked 6 years there but there were nearly no social interactions with colleagues. Perh

It may very expensive in time and resources to scan it all even if it is just the covers. You need to work out how long it takes to fetch a book from the barn or container, flatten/unbind if necessary, scan the cover, rebind, and put b

I do understand Google's challenge with handling probably the largest amount of email traffic in the world, and then the most spam in the world, and that it is a continuously moving target. But it does feel like they are treating nearl

I also have a 15+ years old set of mail servers and I host mail domains for 10ish friends and family. In fact, I once wrote how to set this up ( http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix ) I no longer use Gmail myself but half of m

Depends if they include the commute as part of the working hours. Then it is less bad. And at least on a plane, you are guaranteed a seat! :)

:/ That is a bit disingenuous in a narrow but long country. Norway is only 6km at its narrowest (Tysfjord) but is 2,500km long (and 25,000km of coastline). Of course, the USA is enormous in comparison, especially width wise. https:&#x

Yup, chuck that responsibility over the wall. Not. True, the QAs job is to test it delivers as requested, UX if it is usable by the end user, ops that is is not heavy on resources etc. But it is a joint responsibility between all and especi

I am not convinced it is just sweat. But it may be a contributing factor. My father grew up on a farm in a part of the world with a lot of mosquitos. He says he would work in the fields all summer shirtless and never even notice any mos

2nd mistake was packing too much stuff. Fixed a week into my trip in a Post office in San Sebastian by stuffing 2/3 of my backpack into a cardboard parcel and posting it home.

My dumbest backpacking mistake was on day 2 of my interrail [1] trip across Europe and North Africa. Exhausted I fell asleep on a Marseille beach in the afternoon without any suncream on. When I woke up my shoulders was very sunburned. Spen

True, using a library to hide the limitations of a DB smells bad. It is fixing the problem in the wrong location. I may have misread your comment but rarely do more than one client application access a database. Especially in today's o

If you are leaning more towards contracting than consultancy then I did write up some practical starter tips [1]. Note it is biased towards my situation at the time, IT related contractor based in London, but I think it holds up as general

Point to point is very fragile and inflexible. There are many good reasons for email (and internet in general) was designed to be routable.

Which is why dental veneers [1] are so popular with the easily influenced reality-show-wannabees. If you can afford veneers you have apparently made it... So much that some of the reality stars make it a show or as part of their contracts.

No. It does not work as a filter. But if you have a high amount of applications then statistically it may work for you. Same as throwing half of the CVs in the bin, as you only hire lucky people. Github and SO data is a conversion point, no

Despite popular opinion, I like the new Top Gear (once they got rid of Chris Evans). The last two series with Matt LeBlanc was really good. Will reserve judgement on the new-new line up with McGuinness and Flintoff [1]. McGuinness used to b

I think they forgot the standard of first checking Wikipedia [1]. Though they might just have cherry-picked people for their comparison list. (not that Wikipedia is always correct, but it usually more likely to be correct than most sources
