My personal preference is deeply in the natural ventilation camp, and the typically delicious air we have in the Bay Area is a boon to my wellness. I leave the windows mostly open 24/7 three seasons, and in the winter I partially open

Your story doesn’t add up. Since a CS degree isn’t a pre-requisite to be a tester, and a CS degree goes a good way toward qualifying for a better paid software development job, why are your companies predominantly hiring testers with CS deg

Can you suggest a resource for getting started with disengagement, geared towards people like myself that have more money than time?

This resonates. It’s kind of like a carbon footprint lifestyle inflation. For me, I’m using more paper towels around the house than what I allowed myself to use when I was younger. Honest question to the environmental experts here: what’s t

Parent commenter’s point is you have options. Have you considered the wages and working conditions of the humans that manufactured that cheap new pair of jeans? We’re not talking about saving you money, we’re talking about you accepting cer

You have a privilege; relevant parties believe your resume without needing to verify it. This behavior by Apple is disproportionately harmful to those without this privilege (eg. people on certain visas).
