The omission of that one from 11.0 was a head scratcher. Glad they fixed it up for 11.1

As ambiguous as the current situation is, at least they've fixed the situation where there were five point versions marked as "production" on the website. That was definitely a low point for the Project. Edit: Ha! It looks li

"Managing up" doesn't just involve sucking up. Your knife may be smaller than your boss's, but it's still a knife -- a lot of complaints about the modern workplace would disappear if more subordinates learned to use

What kind of salesperson waits two weeks for a low level functionary to get back to him instead of forcing the issue himself?

Tech never did smarten up. I wore business casual every day to work from 2008 onward, no one ever said a damned thing. Did put on a tie when making presentations to the desk, though.

Started family, needed stable income and insurance, salary was still plenty to finance savings and a comfortable life in NYC. They also let me go remote without a second thought when I asked. I quit last year to look after my kids and do my

GS relaxing its tech dress code is the first sign of the of the end of the business cycle. The second is a management committee member taking up DJing. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/13/business/dealbook

My company uses 2010 as well. It's regularly patched and supported for another two or three years. Why fix what's not broken? (Yes, I know Clinton used 2010. Her admin was a dumbass though).

I'm going to throw this idea out there: companies can succeed independent of type checking.

The one sexual harassment case I saw on Wall Street in the decade I worked there was dealt with viciously by HR, in favor of the victim. My network informs me that similar efficiency exists across the Street. I'd encourage any women

This is pretty much our household. As an aside, it's interesting to see how others introduce new foods to the rotating menu. I'm pretty conservative: cook a new dish and serve it on the side on night T, and if it works, it becomes

Holy crap, the farmer's market takes EBT. That's awesome!
