I think this method is good in theory but fails in practice. Recently, I applied to three different companies that asked me to do a code sample that took from about two to eight hours each. I generally don't work for free, but I had so

I don't see how. There is no lapse in coverage at all. That's what retroactive means.

Post-ACA there are plenty of good plans to purchase beyond COBRA so this is now really only an issue of affordability. They are rather expensive, especially for one who doesn't have a job and getting on Medicaid Expansion can take many

There is no way you're going to end up getting sued for leaving, intentionally or not, regardless of your intentions if employment is at-will (and most likely it is).

Take Uber/bus/cab to the bar and back home. If you can't afford any of that, you shouldn't be getting drunk in a place you can't sleep and if you do, you deserve to go to jail if you drive. Logistics problem solved.

You make a great point about services like Uber, etc. For this reason alone, I now think cities need to stop with the bans and such. Cabs are not a substitute as no one likes to wait hours or walk miles or both in hope of catching one, a si

Actually, self-driving cars are the only proposed solution to automobile accidents and related deaths that seems like it might work. Laws don't work, education doesn't work, and even the safest, most careful drivers can and do hav

Nothing wrong with not wanting to hang out or be around stupid people ("average Americans" as you put it). And yes, calling soccer a "Mexican sport", Tesla "something for tree huggers", and wanting a stupid pre

Is there any wonder why kids are becoming increasingly obese nowadays when their parents won't allow them to walk anywhere? Not to mention all the other ill effects detailed in the other comments.

I find the opposite to be true. I have to learn a whole bunch of new methods and concepts to use an ORM like Doctrine 2 and even a whole new query language for when the basics fail which is most of the time. I can't imagine a way to ma

There are plenty of non-ORM database layer solutions for composing SQL queries.

DQL and Doctrine are absolutely horrific. Not to mention extremely slow both in development time and especially in execution. I will bet money you will regret using them soon enough. I already am. In the apps I'm working on, the time s

Suppose that in the example given, changing the existing classes to not be singletons was just as valid as changing the new ones to be singletons. Or there was a good reason for the new classes not being singletons that the code reviewer

This seems to be much more about pair programming than killing off code reviews. Yes, they eliminated code reviews, but even with pair programming, that isn't necessary. They are not opposites. One can still use feature branches with o

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying it's the manager's job to secure enough time for a product to get developed by the team or reduce the scope of what's going to be developed by working with whomever is

When you're up against such a deadline, your manager has failed you, not the other way around.

And yet the people working remotely have no problem communicating with said tools and being more productive than the ones communicating and working in person. Interesting ...

There are not nearly enough remote jobs currently, though it seems that more companies are wising up. I agree 100% with you on this however. Office work is archaic now and an expense that can be eliminated. Not only do businesses with remot

How is rejecting a bad offer trolling? Please explain.

Granted there does need to be some balance. Perhaps reasonable suspicion can lead to a reasonable stop: no more than five minutes. And never a search, regardless. In the article, stops of over an hour were mentioned. That's not reasona

I think the only way to get rid of police harassment like this and in many other cases is to remove reasonable suspicion as a cause for stopping and searching people. It's clear to anyone who has ever had dealings with the police that

She has a different sense of humor. To compare that to racism is absolutely ridiculous. Racism has negative intention. The picture and her sense of humor don't. The only reason it was poor judgement is that she didn't account for

Yup. The argument order of similar functions being inconsistent is the only thing I run into on a day to day basis. I never remember the order or even names of most functions anyways and with proper tools it's irrelevant. Honestly, I t

Awesome! I must've missed the announcement (if there was one). I'll definitely be checking it out soon.

I'm rather disappointed that full, non-experimental xdebug support isn't on this list. I can't think of a more pertinent feature. I like HHVM's development as well as Hack, but without proper remote debugging, it remains

Thanks for clarifying. I actually hadn't thought of them stealing the IP despite the contract, but it makes sense that it'd happen.
