From what I've seen, its more of a culture thing than anything. I've never been explicitly told I'm not working enough, or that I need to work late, or anything like that. You just see your coworkers answering emails at all h

You can argue the specifics of my language all you want, I'm merely noticing a phenomenon and stating an explanation that makes sense to me.

Its a courtesy thing, not a right vs wrong thing. If its a common complaint that my Cheetos smell bad, I'm going to avoid eating them in confined spaces or only around other people eating Cheetos. I'm also not going to go around t

I think whats interesting is that you'll find a lot of MJ users who have been conditioned to thinking the smell is pleasant. Makes sense if you think about it -- every time they're around that odor, their dopamine receptors are fi

Completely agree with your points. > I'm not sure how many resumes never make it past recruiting I've asked the recruiters at my company about this (we hired roughly similar numbers). Their response was that they filter a surpr

If I thought autonomous cars would be ready in 5 years, I'd be extremely hesitant to take that bet, specifically with regard to weather. Personally, just around the corner means 10 years in the top 50% of weather. Operating in a blizza

Definitely not more convenient, however if they're going to give a getting started guide that provides quick instructions, they should also pair it with a more detailed explanation of the permissions required. Speaking from experience,

Your evidence is still an anecdote, it just involves a couple more people. Still potentially involves some amount of confirmation bias. It stops being anecdotal when it moves away from your personal experience (including the anecdotal exper

That's true, but the circumstances to which she is entitled the bonus are probably well defined. The article made it sound as if she was still entitled to the bonus, but was asked to not accept it. In this case, being asked to do somet

My employer offers a high deductible plan and puts up to $750/yr into an HSA, no match required. This is cheaper for the organization, and often better than even a low deductible health plan for healthy people.

A new job. I was an isolated developer for the longest time, first for a really tiny consulting company I started with a friend, then for a much larger company that was extremely siloed. When you first become a developer its much easier to

That's fair. I'll admit that he may be writing to an audience very different than myself. The edit was because I only ended up scanning what I intended on reading and felt the second part of my criticism overly harsh.

I'd have much more respect for him if he wrote an entire article about this and explaining his position than prefacing an otherwise unrelated article with his frustrations. I'm not lucky he wrote it. From my perspective he wasted

It's hard to believe this came from a place of humor after reading the otherwise dry article.

I think this myth stems from a lack of understanding of what we consider to be "work". For example, one developer could crank out 10x as many features as their peers, but never consider deploying or maintaining. The reality is tha

I write enterprise apps almost exclusively in Ruby and a very small amount of SQL and HTML, but I'm guessing Delphi doesn't have some magical fairy dust that makes SQL unnecessary. If you told me your stack is as you described, I&

My guess would be trade secrets since patents would be public information and afaik the technology isn't currently being sold this wouldn't be subject to patent infringement laws. Not a lawyer though, so I could be wrong.

I can tell you that I agree completely with that. But, that's not at all what I'm disputing. People within companies are building web apps because thats what they know. The world has changed in the past 10 years. In response to th

I didn't get the feeling that the point was he didn't benefit (directly or indirectly) from VC funding at all. Only that he was able to remain competitive with companies that were VC funded.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that the primary reason we build webapps for internal products at my company is because all the developers already know it. I understand this is more of an anecdote, but I really find it hard to believe ot

No, its not typically a concern with non-subscription services. And, yes, it is a concern with subscription services purchased through the Apple App Store (don't use Google). I still have to google how to do it. For reference: https:&

When I buy a coffee I also don't have to worry about it charging me $5 once a month forever unless I go through a maze of menu options (possibly involving phone calls) to get it to stop.
