It's not that simple. This article covers both the original claim and the counter claim that the video you linked makes. It comes down to numbers and frequency of this type of event. https://www.theatlantic.com/science&

I suspect your perspective is based on your personal exposure. India has a lot of people. As such, they have a lot of content producers. Some of which will naturally be "a few years behind". There is still a significant amount o

It's funny when people generalize this way. You cherry picked specific scenarios as if that suddenly supports your claim that ageism is well justified. Anecdotally, I've worked with engineers across age ranges. Sure, there are the

I don't know that your experience is but I've worked on many products that are 10+ years old. Additionally, I'd take 3 old time engineers over 6 new engineers in a heartbeat. The problem is that every business wants to cut la

These people are dangerous and the ones I watch for the most. I see them as a somewhat dark manifestation of the "Peter Principle". They are charismatic people full of ambition who want to climb the corporate ladder but lack the s

I agree with you here. A parallel example being the IRS and tax reform that's prevented by private companies in the tax preparation domain.

You're being down-voted for some odd reason. This response is very accurate with regards to the types of crime that happen in most major cities. EDIT: Having read the additional comments I understand that the perspective is those in US

IMO, I think this is a valid question (though asked a bit crudely). To generalize, it's because someone who has done JavaScript programming can point to NodeJS and say, "I'm full stack." Which, while technically true, sk

The most important question when upgrading audio, "What's your price range?" There are lots of options. For example: Sony SSCS5 Bookshelf Pair $100 JBL Stage A130 Pair $300 ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 Bookshelf Speakers $340 And on u

This reminds me of the short story "Computers Don't Argue" by Gordon D Dickson. The format is a series of correspondence between individuals regarding a book. The plot starts with a man attempting to deal with the situation

A "senior" title often equates to a pay range in companies. This can lead to employees that want/need to get paid more (and leadership wanting to retain/hire them) getting a senior title without the expected experience.

You're lucky the CEO had connections that somewhat panned out. I've experienced the "connections" based C-suite hire that was a complete and total net negative. It took 3 years for the removal to happen. It was a painful
