   I remember interviewing at a place that hired close to 90 elixir engineers in 2 months (or so they said). That actually sounded like nightmare fuel to me (in any language) so I didn't pursue it further.

   If they could fire every single worker without repercussion they'd do it today. They can't ...yet. The pay is good, but make no mistake - they would prefer you not be there at all. You shouldn't be under the assumption your e

   I suppose it's for the best, but I really miss the vibe and community around mono, running .Net on linux in 2008 was such a good time.

   All's fair in love, war and the job market. Good for them, interviewers have been jerking people around for a long long time. Maybe they should come up with some new material or start having actual conversations.

    I don't know where you are located, but in the US I find deals throughout the year on laptops with windows pre-installed that are cheaper than linux only laptops. So if your goal is to save money I would look there first. The Dell outl

    I don't think developers are the problem here. Most developers I know would love time to work on optimizations. "When can we get this shipped???? We need it yesterday", I suspect business attitude plays the greatest role.
