I'm not at Google, but I'd like to see their support system for post-recruitment and post-hiring. I currently have one neurodiverse (more than one condition) employee who has remained at the same career level for nearly a decade b

Maybe it's not necessary to define truth for this. Considering metrics that you want to influence might be a better way - hate crime arrests in locales, negative/divisive message content, donations/volunteering for positive c

I don't feel that way, but as someone who has personally been through most of these scenarios your statements come off as blithe and without nuance. Becoming successful really isn't as easy and hand-wavey as you make it out to be.

This is a naive set of statements, even the ones without tone-deaf conditionals like "if you are able to rise" and "if you can get something better". Here's a run-on reality of your statements. "Startups were y

To be tongue-in-cheek - that person will make a great dev, because I copy answers from stackoverflow all the time and get paid 6 figures to do it.

What's puzzling to me is that I'm from South Florida while my parents are from the South, of which S Florida is not a part. They have the pin-pen merger. However, they are distinct for me. I've always wondered how much of a r

I'm not sure why this is getting downvoted, because even Wikipedia acknowledges the issues with its contributor community. Years ago I had a friend who worked for Wikimedia Foundation and was very enthusiastic about it. That optimism d

You're not the intended user of Salesforce. The UIs and flows you use are mostly data entry funnels for the true user: management and executives. You didn't pay for the software; they did. "End-user" satisfaction is low

It's "enterprise", so you have to talk to a human and haggle. More info is located on the FAQ link in the article.

As someone who lived on contract work for 5 years the "quadrupling of income" isn't a reasonable metric. Invariably your wage gets diluted. At salaried positions you don't have to deal with: - Clients who pay late - Clie

Very true, which is why I, as a manager, ask senior devs during interviews why they made those choices and how they integrated and deployed the changes. In a lot of cases it turns out their flashy new tech choices were for one-off green

This is exactly it. The nuances of regex patterns can be misconstrued. Obviously if the regex used for flow control cannot be sensibly translated to more traditional conditional statements, then they are permitted. Even in that case, the &q

By borrowing against your securities you have more cash to invest. You've put a multiplier on the amount you can invest. That's leverage. However, you have to pay back the loan with fees and interest. This increases risk because y
