The only English speaking country in the EU is Ireland. Many people in France, Italy or Spain do not speak English, at least not beyond elementary school level. It's even worse in countries such as Greece, Romania or Poland. It's

To me, it feels like SAFe was specifically designed to insert some expensive consultants between the developers to profit off software development without doing much actual work. Instead of working together with developers to solve a proble

The problem with a fully AI run company is that it needs reliable measurements to base its decisions on. An AI overlord managing a company would typically have some work to complete, would hire people based on the required qualifications (a

In a car I assume all distractions are possible dangers and I don't want to confuse background noise in the call for actual dangers on the road. Also, I do not want to visualise the call, as that will be a major distraction from drivin

Why would you continue to use that contracting agency if they were clearly gaming the interviews?

This is how I write documents - start with the table of contents and fill in the blanks until the document is done. Isn't there some law as well that states that successful software projects start with a working prototype, and software

It's only a matter of time before someone trains a model on stills from the major adult sites. Actually surprised it hasn't been done / made public yet.

Some people really like these tools, and that is OK. But not everyone has the same workflow. I personally get a JetBrains license from the project I work on - but I refuse to use it, as I find their tools pedantic, slow, and eating my compu
