Why wouldn't you control the IP with outsourced development? Obviously, any competent company would make the outsourced developers / development house hand over all rights to anything they produce under contract so this would be a

The worthlessness of most middle management jobs has nothing to do with software. If they were flat out eliminated, in most cases, nothing would change. There's no software needed to replace them.

Yes, but at least in the case of AI, it's so primitive and so far away from being any type of intelligence that the only intelligence is in the name. Sorry, that doesn't count, especially when you're talking about putting val

"Trying to hold on to worthless jobs is a terrible but popular idea." It's terrible sure, but it's popular only because our economy requires it. That is the basis for the whole economy. It's not like people are cl

Well, now you know they exist and that you can ask for much more. Source: multiple offers in the bay area. I believe the highest salaries are near Mountain View and that part of the valley, where you could possibly get nearer to 200k.

I would want them to make a decent wage (much more than 60k in SF) for their hard, essential work. Whether they live in the "community" or not is irrelevant (except for their commute, in which case, yes). It won't lead to bet

Well it really depends if by NYC you refer to the whole of NYC or to Manhattan. I think you're right when comparing to the whole of NYC, but since most jobs are in Manhattan, and Manhattan is still more expensive than SF, then it doesn

You might be able to get by with 90k, assuming you're frugal, though given the rents today, it would be wise to live outside the city. 60k would be a pretty crappy existence in SF these days.

It seems like all the positions you mention, at least for developers, are looking to hire junior developers with that salary (though they may not realize it themselves). In my limited experience with NYC jobs, the salaries tend to be a bit

This was obviously high priority for the police and I'm sure they rushed right on over to investigate.

The issue that has me considering a switch is that the latest Chrome dev tools' network panel tries too hard to show a preview of JSON requests that are not JSON. When I get exceptions and such, they come through as HTML or plaintext,

I think it's a hilarious joke.

Our culture, or lack thereof, is just unbelievable. If a comedian had made that joke, it likely would have been no problem for him (there would still have been some outrage no doubt), but people assume everything is so serious, even when th

He's getting paid hourly and has already put in 55 free hours to teach the course properly. How many more free hours do you expect from him? I think the email he sent the students is spot on. Perhaps if they're distressed enough,

'Zawinski didn’t do many unit tests. They “sound great in principle. Given a leisurely development pace, that’s certainly the way to go. But when you’re looking at, ‘We’ve got to go from zero to done in six weeks,’ well, I can’t do tha

You're obviously not familiar with the effects of any of these substances. Plenty of people live normal lives taking opiates every day (in obviously large amounts due to tolerance). Likewise, alcohol is far from the harmless substance

For a typical startup, anything less than 5-10% for a first engineer (non founder) is tiny, negligible, and just not worth suffering (lower salary, lost health, long hours) a startup for. Of course, there are startups that offer decent sala

This is a well-written piece, much more so than some of the many other articles on the subject I've read in the last couple of years. Still, it provides absolutely no solutions and is rather devoid of ideas. It also seems to ignore bas

To me, having this ever present picture sounds worse than an open office. I would absolutely hate it if someone was staring at me (or potentially so) every minute of every day and would be much less productive about it (same thing in a real

In addition to the negative impacts on code and the actual product of going too fast, there is the additional problem of working at an unsustainable pace. That then becomes the norm and is expected even when it can no longer be kept up. Thi
