Our company is trying to hire 50 more developers until end of the year and its hard, we get them from all over the world, especially India and Africa has a lot of good talent nowadays but also east europeans. But it's still hard to fin

abstracting the complexities away and making the technology more accessible is a good and inevitable thing. Do you think academic gatekeeping and elitism have more value? Doesn't mean that there is no room for experts with deep underst

I am German living in Germany, but for the last 5 years all my work/professional live is english and I also have small word finding problems when talking about the same concepts in german, just because I usually never do it.

I am german myself and I am frustrated about this countries hate for nuclear power. In the wake of Fukushima, they shut down 12 perfectly modern nuclear power plants to rely on coal until green power can take over. We are quite behind on th

Consultants also do not get paid vacation, or paid sick leave. They also don't get any of the benefits that a lot of regular employees get. But that's part of the game, they have to account for all of that which is why they earn m

why are you even interviewing for these "random companies desperate to find anyone qualified" if you are so disgusted by them? The elitism of some engineers is mind boggling, instead of being grateful working in an industry that h

Even though this driver had a license, many drivers in other countries where Uber operates do not. Part of why classic Uber is not in Germany is because you need an extra license to be allowed to drive passengers around for money, this incl

Of course it's not the same, but he's talking about "freely choosing and combining engines". UE was never even an option for indie devs a few years ago. Besides, Unity clearly stated that Improbable knew about their TOS

Whenever someone infringes the rights of independent developers to freely choose and combine engines, platforms, services (including, self-interestedly here, Epic’s own services!) the air raid sirens go off and we move quickly. I find tha

I just watched a couple of Black Mirror episodes and reading this feels eerie from that perspective.

Sounds really interesting, kudos for building a profitable business from scratch. I have no experience with redshift, we mostly use the ELK stack, so Kibana do to all the log analysis. Is redshift significantly better?

If you don't know what CQRS or event-sourcing is, you probably also have no usecase for this framework.

I grew up with doom so this is awesome. I know that he is the original creator and that this is technically a free mod, still wonder if Bethesda will just let him do this if it proves to be popular.

The Chinese government is exactly the type of government that i would expect getting rid of cash soon, so this seems a bit weird, but maybe has to do with not excluding the poor from a lot of commerce. Meanwhile in Berlin, arguably one of E

Have you tried Meetups? If you are in a reasonably sized city, Meetups can be great (and free) to talk to linkminded devs using the same technologies, making contacts and maybe even finding business partners.

Even then that salary is nothing to sneeze at for a head of state. I believe Angela Merkel makes ~300k EUR in salary.

you don't need to click and wait though, just tap and without lifting your finger immediately slide to adjust. If anything it's a super minor annoyance imo.

i don't know, there are Golang, Python, Javascript, Ruby, PHP conferences and probably a lot more, so not sure if that argument is valid.

even m4/m5's are already on the expensive side compared to something like hetzner especially if you don't need crazy peak scaling.

problem with that mindset is that it will be harder to get hired. At least where i work, knowledge about containers and cloud services is pretty crucial to get a senior position in a bigger company.

I know what you mean. Even if you think you are fairly competent, have a CS degree that is a few years back, reading these articles you only realise how many seemingly simple questions you probably could not answer correctly in an interview
