Despite this optimism, I wonder what the tradeoffs are for the drone services. Does it actually spray pesticide as thoroughly as a worker manually applying it? Can it spread seed and fertilizer as well as someone who has tended the land f

Get that interview process fixed ASAP and let this lemon go. Don’t be surprised if there is pushback from non-technicals if this hire checked a bunch of boxes for other departments. A good strategy would be to have them be a lead on a mino

We are rapidly advancing towards the logical conclusion of the post-modernist question, “What is truth?” Mobs will always remain dumb and quick to anger, so this will not be an isolated case.

Wait, aren’t the majority of these apps owned by Match Group? It makes sense that their actual product would be near-total access to data from people ignorant of the value of this data and behavior on these apps. Anyway, dating apps are gar

No sympathy from this software engineer/developer. Especially since i have seen burnout in my closest friends and mildly in myself. Sunk cost fallacy is what keeps these doctors stuck. They get addicted to the lifestyle, income, and

If you work remotely, a good cure for boredom is working 2+ jobs with minimal responsibilities or expectations. Spinning plates, keeping a mediocre output for keeping the job, is a great wealth and boredom fix.

Make friends with the people around you. You’ll pick up things by osmosis, be able to ask “stupid” questions without revealing your lack of knowledge to anyone who might see this as weakness. whenever you see a term or concept you don’t un

This is the inevitable outcome of picking cheap-fast from the cheap-fast-good PM triangle. Unfortunately for some customers/users, their concerns were left out of the conversation and their PII is the cost. I’d be wary of any company

As long as you complete it, just keep it out there. You never know when your half-baked idea might result in a lead for something new. It’s fun to go back to old projects and finish them with new skills you’ve acquired over the years.

I absolutely agree. This is clickbait junk science.

As someone with multiple projects, it helps with “good enough” or time-consuming tasks like filling out interfaces. basically it cuts down on context switch/flow state/ADD tendency time loss.

Holidays are excellent times for hackers to take advantage. It’s not just Christmas or other Western holidays, either. Extend this principle to any holiday/world conflict/anniversary of conflict made into holiday/calendar

I noticed this trend a couple of years ago, they called it Shift-Left. Basically, it was a way to get a developer to do more testing during development before handing over a feature to QA. This sets up the imagined possibility of firing all

Former Alexa Skill developer here. I gave it a shot for a year as a potential source of side income and released about 10 skills publicly (+20 more are half-done or abandoned). I've learned quite a bit about this platform over the past

Behind every great fortune is a great crime… As usual, American society superficially protects children while the most harmful perpetrators are given near-absolute access. I really think the addictive qualities of video games should garner

There is currently a small exhibit at the San Diego WNDR Museum where you can try this berry’s effect. I highly recommend the museum, applied tech and science is best experienced first-hand.

Big Black is a great band if you haven’t heard of them (sorry, not available on Spotify). There’s enough melody amongst the noise to keep it interesting, and the youthful finger-pointing aggression and characterization makes it unique.

Absolutely! Garbage in, garbage out. You can always predict what you push in.

I agree. The world is messed up, but it is what it is. I have a connection on LinkedIn (garnered from the spam connect campaigns I talked about previously) that talks about his MtF transition experiences as well as the struggle to land a j

I certainly wouldn't hire anyone that creates drama like this. You could replace "rainbow" with "Ukraine flag" or "Russian flag" or NY Yankees logo and it would still hold to be true. Someone will find an

I have found well-paying freelance and full-time positions recently (~4 months ago) using this exact strategy. I assume that being active daily on LinkedIn will help push your profile to the top (algorithm-based results) over other profile

No, the point is to look like a good candidate who won’t start a Slack pronoun campaign while delivering garbage code. For some companies, that outward presentation of identity and politics will be a deterrent. Do that stuff on your own t

Offer better advice, then. We live in a world where you can either compete or wonder why no companies want anything to do with you. “Fake it till you make it” is a good strategy when you have to pay bills.

It works when you’re being filtered on keywords. A competent C# software engineer who has worked with web tech can list Blazor, ASP.NET MVC, or even PHP if they understand the fundamentals of web dev. Let’s not kid ourselves, most of these

I see most of those open-position LinkedIn posts as lazy cries for help rather than legitimate job search strategy. People swarm and post good reviews of the person as a coworker/employee, but it’s a waste of time. Sympathy is not wor
