I'd disagree and say the ToS is written broadly enough that opening a file on your computer is covered.

Can you describe how Adobe would generate a thumbnail preview without accessing your content?

People got used to getting 3-4 offers in a month with easy interviews. Taking 3-6 months to get a 6-figure job is the norm in many other professions.

I don't think you'd find a good tutorial of any framework changes across two major versions.

I switch between 4.7 and .NET (and .NET Core) pretty often. The differences are primarily around configuration and dependency injection. Everything else is mostly the same. Don't give up! You aren't starting from scratch, and your

What kind of writing are you seeing? Tech careers are fairly lucrative so you should be able to save plenty for retirement.

Yes of course, but your mentioning unit tests in a comment about moving work steps but they are totally different things in this context.

I don't know what regulatory approval or standups have to do with waterfall, and I'm not sure what automated tests have to do with whether or not you are agile.

by jf22 2y ago
See this is what I mean about the overuse. Release gating doesn't make something waterfall.

>This process then becomes more of a waterfall model where dev and QA are distinct, sequential phases. I think we overuse the term waterfall. Having a QA phase as part of a development cycle doesn't not make something "waterfal

I believe the article writer is talking about moving QA work to the beginning of a process, not adding unit tests to the front of a pipeline.

I've never heard of this either. Shifting left only changes the timing of work, not the workload.

> Possibly to keep her around. Hey now. I think you have other issues than your job. And to be honest, it sounds like you don't like your job because you're gunning for a promotion.

But then you're sitting behind the desk again...

I don't think so. Most developers I know don't work more than 8 hours a day unless there is a major outage or a rare hard deadline.

I'm sure those people existed, but money and power is money and power and influences everything as it always does.

by jf22 2y ago
It was always about money, and it always will be about money. "Don't be evil" was a silly cultural builder mantra and marketing tool.

I do not understand your reply.

Most code is not written with the latest technologies or techniques though. Why would being up to date matter?

In my 20s and 30s, I spent a lot of my free time working on side businesses. Despite some success, they never really worked out for me. I don't regret the time I spent as it made me a much better developer. The only negative is that I

I hear you and probably believe you. However, I also don't understand macroeconomics enough to evaluate whether your statement is true. It's as if I doubt myself more than I doubt you.
293.
by jf22 2y ago
I guess. With media so gamified and managed, it's hard to know what's true or what big spenders want us to think is true about the economy.

This is the 4th or 5th downturn I've been part of. The same articles were written each time. Once growth starts up again things will be the same.

But that's thing... your job as a developer is to help the customer figure out what they want.

If I'm doing 75 in the middle lane along with traffic, and somebody behind me in the middle lane wants to do 95, I'm not obligated to move into the slow vehicle lane. They can pass on the left, in the passing lane. They are not en

What does requirement gathering and planning look like to you?
298.
by jf22 2y ago
Agile does replace requirement gathering and planning, though. A core Agile tenant is responding to change rather than following a plan.

I'm being passed by SUVs going 85 mph. My speed has nothing to do with whether or not other people are recklessly and aggressively driving huge, unwieldy death machines.
