I never understood why I am I crammed into the same room with social media/sales/business planner/project management and whatnot people when they don't do any productive work (or any work for that matter) instead they ju

That's a good point. Although there is another sorting example which is using the correct format. But yes, you are indeed right.

I really like the page. I really enjoyed going through the list. One suggestion would be to add python/javascript generator functions to the list.

As a software engineer with more than a decade of experience I have seen all kind of appalling "management" strategies in a variety of industries. And not so surprisingly the common denominator was that managers in every industry

I don't agree with you. Let's take Apple products. You are saying that the apple products' price wouldn't cover' the full end-to-end cost of the item, which includes the cost of disposal (collection, sorting, recycl

[Irony on] It's somehow reassuring that Google engineers also " check StackOverflow for answers ". Helps me to raise my low self-esteem. :D I thought all what Google engineers do is writing code from scratch in brainfuck all

Well this is what the tech giants brought to us. The middle finger and an automated 'Up your ###' message. Not a far fetch to assume that soon similar technologies will judge your work resumes and credit worthiness too. With a sim

I am wondering why are the technical interviews are put before the personal interviews then? If none of the technical skills matter in light of the soft skills because some candidate has a hair color or accent which bothers a team member, w

There is no article but there is a paywall instead. Before you make your self-conceited, complacent argument make sure you don't render yourself stupid next time.

You are right, although it's not clear for me if you refer to the old/traditional coal plants or not. If you refer to the coal plants I agree, the 'negative prices are prima facie evidence of' coal plants 'not funct

Wow. A high ranking officer putting blame on everyone... That's a shitty company culture for you. It also aligns well with the business that facebook represents. Even if he was the good guy in this story this doesn't shed any more

HAHAHAHAHA! This is funny! :D It's pure genius. And I would love to be a certified rockstar developer.

It's hard to understand the point of this article. First of all this is a good example of a completely biased ranting. Secondly after that it's bashing NoSQL through many chapters later it is using those same features that NoSQL w

Can I ask how do you evaluate the candidates with these problems? I mean: do they have to solve similar problems on their daily job as well? Or what is the take-away in your specific case?

Noone said that they won't hire anyone for less if they can. Don't put words in my mouth, because that's sg that only YOU said. And, no, it's not exaggeration. It's common sense.

I don't see the causation in your argument. Can you elaborate? It looks like you are only implying that there is an impact, but I fail to see how.

Sorry but I beg to differ. That's exactly how it works. The financial officer/controller simply allocates $x for y employees. And they do this calculation in every quarter, adjusting it if necessary. I don't even understand h

Many people in this comment thread are assuming that a team lead has more experience, or he is more talented then the devs. I am sorry folks, but this is not how it works. In many companies the earlier you arrive, the better chance you have

Just telling that I worked in a few different countries and none of my contracts have ever specified anything like the "chain of command". Maybe it's common in the US, I don't know, but in those countries where I worked

I agree with everything you said. To summarize: the single most important thing that works is transparency. When the lead makes his decision making/planning and generic thought process transparent then he doesn't end up in an emba
