This advice might work at Uber or as a consultant but for FTEs it sounds like a great way to get fired. I consider myself a product-minded software engineer, but trying to be this person has been a sisyphean task pretty much anywhere I’ve w

Yeah, the main reason I would pay for this would be to put the project in my portfolio. I have my own portfolio page though; I wouldn’t be interested in hosting it on a third-party site. Even if it was just something I would link to from my

As someone who is looking for work and finds nearly all of it through LinkedIn, canceling my account is not something I can afford to do at this time. As much as I empathize with the Open Web mission, opting out of LI is the privilege of ha
