Can you clarify what "published" means in the context of a http link? Preferably citing the appropriate section in the RFC, http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html ?

This is one of my app ideas that I've implemented a few times over the last few years. I've even purchased two domains towards the effort. I love hearing that others are doing it as well.

This is exactly what I was looking for too. I'm disappointed not to find it.

That's the first thing I did and that is what makes this an impressive offering. The smoothness of the introduction is very well done and you can easily see how it slowly introduces a novice, which you can easily skip as a more experienced

Fyi, I just received the offer.

The author implies a false dichotomy in the following paragraph. "This is why I don’t accept the usual “benefits” package. I go for the jobs that offer minimal benefits and high pay. I go for the jobs that challenge and improve me, not the

It sounds like to me that you're finally learning what design means and how to design well. :)

When I say a good proportion, I should clarify that I mean anyone can work remote any time that they feel like but most people still show up at the office because they enjoy being at the office working with their coworkers. 99% of the time

Please tell me you're arguing to convince them of the error of their ways or looking for a new job if you've already failed to convince them?

Some places it does, some places it doesn't. Much depends upon the local labor market, industry, etc. "It depends."

Its a somewhat foreign concept called intrinsic motivation that involves synergistic goals and happy employees. :P

Sounds like a shitty version of agile. agile is people over processes. I'd investigate changing the process or changing jobs. Why do you have to be at the stand up?

I agree with your advice re: consulting 100%.

by jonathanwallace 14y ago
Again, I have to disagree with you 100%. :) I posit that "this" is one of those annoying problems of working. If you don't make sure you communicate your success, you won't be successful. People who don't celebrate, share and broadcast t

I respectfully submit that you are 100% wrong. At least, you're wrong in stating your opinion so forcefully in the second two paragraphs after a (to me) flippant caveat in the first. The important question isn't whether there're 10% scenari

To be clear, you're not arguing against the thesis of the argument, correct?

As an addendum to what Matt said, like any substantial initiative, ROWE needs support from the whole organization to succeed. But as you mention Ryan, it is super easy for those being measured to game metrics and optimize so that they look

Wow, this sounds like it came directly out of the ROWE playbook, http://www.gorowe.com/ , something we practice at my job to much success.

That's exactly what code reviews are used for at our company. You learn things you wouldn't have learned otherwise and a stylistic consensus grows bottom up as people discuss the whys of their personal style. Occasionally bugs are caught.
