I don't know of any such job sites. I know recruiters exist who specialize in international placement, usually for senior executives, scientists, and academics. Unless you have rare and in-demand skills you will probably find software

Some bloggers report headache, nausea, indigestion, dizziness, blurred vision. Serious side effects rarely occur but can include diarrhea, muscle pain, disorientation, and coma.

This doesn't make any sense and the link doesn't go anywhere useful. AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is the name for the virtual network(s) hosted cloud resources occupy. Most AWS services require a VPC and you get a default VPC w

There's no such thing as a "C/C++ binary." C and C++ both get compiled into machine code, and we call the result a binary, or executable. Executables, or binaries, contain low-level machine instructions, regardless of

I don't worry about it, and I don't think experienced programmers should worry about it. Writing code isn't the hard part of programming, and LLMs are a long ways off from interpreting vague, incomplete, inconsistent requirem

If there's no "Like" or "Share" button, no videos popping up, they probably don't recognize it as a computer at all.

Yeah I've had to do a lot of mentoring and explaining. Kind of funny, and satisfying, to see people posting articles and videos about how they discovered the power of the command line, a new sense of mastery. Welcome to the 1980s!

Not in decades. Before slow dot matrix printers we used line printers -- print a whole line at a time rather than one character at a time. I remember working as a night computer operator taping the end of one box of paper to the start of th

Agree. Proficiency with the command line and basic navigation and common tools, ssh, git and Github, at least one professional editor or IDE for each platform (e.g. VSCode and vim or nano) seem like table stakes for a professional developer

Protip: mail boxes usually have a little red flag you put up so the mail carrier can see that you have mail to pick up even if they have no mail to deliver. You can sue your parents.

10X Management represents me, for nine years now. I recommend them but not sure who they're taking on. I don't speak for 10X, everything here my opinion, not theirs.

You mean you get increasingly annoyed with a lot of things. So do I. I blame lawyers, criminals, and dumb people. Bourbon or weed might help, at least makes it seem funnier.

If you can get taken on by a reputable agency that can give you work that eliminates a lot of marketing, sales, invoicing, and writing contracts. If I had to find cloud admin/infrastructure work now, I would call companies that offer t

I do and I know other developers who do it. On multiple projects I've worked on we had a dev server and production server, cloud instances on AWS or GCP. Developers work over ssh on the dev server (in their own copy of the web app), ei

Not “every company” outsources to India. A relatively small number of US companies outsource tech work overseas. Outsourcing did not start “recently” either. As far back as the 1990s some companies started outsourcing, with mixed success. I

The fundamentals of programming haven't changed much in decades, so I'd start there. Probably more wisdom in The C Programming Language or any of Knuth's or Wirth's books than in the mountains of tutorials and Medium p

Most lawyers don't do trial work. They put together boilerplate contracts, read through discovery documents and highlight and summarize, pretty rote stuff. Trial lawyers probably don't have to worry for now, but a lawyer specializ
