I think I understand where OP is coming from. We are still in the wild-west era of software development and most programmers are like pioneers -- few rules, learning as they go, etc. I agree that as the domain matures we will see different

To put it bluntly, if you're not "so good they can't ignore you", you need very good communication skills to promote your work. I would ask people close to me for feedback/advice on that.

Apple has been focused on health lately. So we might see more sensors and apps related to that, to the point where it would monitor your overall health continuously.

Yes, now multiple countries have started thinking like this. If we don't get cooked by the sun in the next 5 years, we'll have excess energy for a while.

For once I wish the article was longer and would expand on the theme. For example, why did governments not think like this? Literally no country had this kind of policy. Even China_, which had so many long-term plans and executed them well,

Sometimes you can get lucky and land an interesting job, but I think getting to do interesting work takes time (and luck). An anecdote from my past as an illustration: When I started my job at [FAANG] I was assigned a project. It was not mi

And the Dijon mustard shortage led to a mustard shortage. Until a couple of weeks ago I could not find any mustard in any supermarket here (near Paris). It was a bit surreal the first time I was told.

I am currently in France and there's been a shortage of mustard (as in you cannot find it in any supermarkets). It's blamed partly on hot weather: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-09/mustard-shortage-i

There is no good answer. I think Lyn Alden said the same in a tweet recently. You will most likely lose no matter what short term. My conclusion is that long term it's probably good to be in stocks. The problem is that stocks might go

> 3. If possible, take some time off between the old job and the new job just to take care of yourself. This is almost always possible. Even if the recruiter pushes back, it's usually the easiest thing to negotiate.

I wonder if there's a way for ad blockers to block these requests -- the pre-submit non-user-driven requests -- without me turning off JS or anything drastic like that. I suspect the answer is no, but I'm wondering if it's at

I've had this issue too, but only sometimes. Thinking about it, might be due to stoplights. Google has no way of knowing when I hit a red light, and some of them are obnoxiously long. I'm assuming Google uses an average, so if you

All these discussions are very US-centric. Netflix made more money from outside US than US (4477M vs 3350M) and membership went up in Asia. I agree that the US-made content on Netflix is not as good as it used to be, but the foreign content

How did you find these offers? I'm planning to move to France (from US) and to look for jobs once I learn French well. Feel free to email me if you don't want to share publicly.
