Then again there was the person (actually, over 6 years, 2) I interviewed who thought we were a completely different company in a different industry (we were a broadcaster, they'd confused us with a bank with a similar name). A bit of

Agree 99%, but it's more "use Github" than "use git" as it's meant to be used. GH supports certain development modes very well, fork+push request being the best, but having zero support for ACLs on branches or

Think of it like a value proposition. Is the (dubious IMO) convenience of having Linkedin profiles in your email worth the cost of Linkedin having the content of your email? Even if they pinky-swear to never read it, don't forget that

He probably has a very good understanding of the company's priorities and politics. Pay more attention to that. Politely disagree on the tech side when you think it's appropriate, make your arguments, and then implement based on w

I'd say it's more of a binary distinction. There are people I've worked with who had no notion of their own limits AND had superior ability. Those people would do surprising things as a matter of course, that others might be

My family's sign-making business back in Ireland got a lot of work out of UL and the Plassey Technological Park back in the day. It always did feel weird, like an alien had plonked them down on the edge of Limerick. Now I know that&#x2

Not the author, just thought it would be interesting to see how opinions shook out here. And it has been! My own personal take is that this is bad policy. Calibrating price to demand is well and good, doing it automatically is clever, but n
