What I have noticed is that these spam calls follow my geolocation as well. I recently took a trip to Washington DC and within minutes of checking into the JW Marriott downtown I get an insurance spam call from a DC number. I have a Georgia

Very cool! I just recently wrote a filter feature about two weeks ago. This could be very helpful

Finally a better module experience inside of gopath. That was a major hang up for me

Also relevant if you want nationalized healthcare expect to pay a significant amount more in taxes. America is the third most populous country in the world with over 320M documented citizens + an unknown amount of undocumented citizens. Rou

Definitely a sense of belonging for sure -- especially since I didn't take a traditional academic route out of high school. And this is just a personal feeling that may or may not be true but, I feel an inability to connect with people

I also have over a decade of SIGINT experience and can confirm that this persons friend was pulling a hilarious fast one.

This is dumb. This would give potential employers too much leverage in salary negotiations.

> there is nothing keeping these individuals away from collective bargaining without forming an official union to do so. I think this is the main reason why I just "don't get" unions. Why do we have to put a name to it? Tr

I love your story! There is always a risk standing up for what you believe in. The fact they fired you over this shows their lack of respect for their employees. How long did it take you to find work after being fired?

Again, my perception might not be reality. I don't really like the idea that I have to pay some organization to protect my rights as an employee. I have heard of unions strong arming people to register with them as well. I believe we s

You hit the nail on the head!

I probably jumped the gun on the unionization part. I don’t know a lot about it but my impression of unions is not so bright. Maybe my ignorance is showing with that regard

I’m not knowledgeable enough of unions to take an informed position on their merits. My impression was that unions are often an image of protection and nothing more. I could be wrong about that though.

Can’t argue with that.

You are right. And to be clear my current work environment is not toxic which is why I can do this as you said.

Fair enough and 100% true. It almost feels like we need to police up the expectations of junior developers and teach them proper work life balance. But they are going to do what they are going to do I suppose.

Fair enough and you are probably right. I come from the position that you can only beat a dog so long before it bites back. But I feel like this could have been prevented if developers weren’t so enamored with the idea of developing games.

It’s toxic culture at the leadership level. When my employer asks for some outrageous development on a compressed time schedule I speak my mind. Maybe that’s why most AAA games suck these days.

A developer can go make crud web applications like the rest of us. There are options to get out of it they just don’t want to take them. I don’t know if this rings true for graphics artists, game designers, etc. But a programmer who develop

Game developers let themselves be exploited with low pay and unpaid overtime. They should grow a spine and say no to ridiculous work conditions. I am tired of hearing about it. They don’t need to unionize, they need to realize that they hav

This isn’t my experience. I have never done more than two interviews for a position. None of which involved coding or exercises. Perhaps this is the standard for businesses in the valley.

I would agree but I think we can agree that all those who spent their entire deployments on BIAP or Bagram are getting their fair share as well. From my deployment experience, I drank Rip-Its more frequently when we were in the full swing o
