All of that is true but the main reason for lack of feedback is, some people are really bad at handling rejection. Maybe a very small minority, but some guys really don't take no for an answer, get argumentative, cost you a lot of time

Be careful what you wish for. That kind of roles generally exist in multinationals. You will be sent out to help troubled projects and invariably work with people under a lot of stress. There will be long hours in offices with no natural li

The perceived sluggishness of Android was down to how the system was architected, especially around the way the UI thread was prioritised. I say was, because Google threw a lot of hardware and money to workarounds for that problem. It is le

The UK is actually on par with US, if you accept to work in a "at will" arrangement. Let's say London is about the levels of New York in terms of compensation.

The jobs on the job boards are the ones that cannot be filled by referrals, career pages, etc...It's really a last resort. If you post a job to a semi popular job board, you get a glut of CVs, most of which are completely irrelevant. Y

Yes. I have 10 people working on a code base. It's been more than a year since we started. Your hunch is correct, keeping a neat namespace is the job.
