There are hard metrics, with time you see who fixes bugs and codes new stuff. For those who do less, you can still measure their engagement - how many questions and ideas they have, how they interact with their mentors, what are they motiva

I disagree fully with that statement. It’s completely oversimplifying the reasons to mostly work from home. One might want to spend more time with their loved ones, save money because of commute, might enjoy knowledge seeking and learning b

You should move to south Germany - people are very much ambitious there, work is often their main goal. Also, burnout numbers and other mental health statistics are really up, and that for years before COVID. Many people are working a lot j

The quality and insight of the discussions at conference is usually way higher than at the office. Conferences allow specialists to come together around topics covered only by a few people in the company. Also, they allow you to look outsid

I think now the prices are more expensive in Germany overall, although there is less variation... Paris is very expensive it's true. But you'll be damned to find a decent home under 500k in the whole South Germany. And they are no

Interesting, this exposes them to lawsuits which would be a liability for investors indeed.

At some point you have to pay a price to maintain a competition in the ecosystem. We all know what happens when there is only a player left. Microsoft can just sink billions in side games like Teams and GitHub at the moment.

You're probably better than you think. If your company is good, it probably has a good culture and it feels there achieving great things requires not that much effort. I've felt that in good teams, big outcomes are easy, while bad

I think the better strategy is to specialize in topics that are long living. For example, specializing into parallel programming, or virtualization, or APIs. Those topics are less likely to come and go than a library, product or technology

1. The way you counter such a request matters much more than the actual thing. Here, if you mention "swiss cheese", it's clear you'll get laughed at. However if you answer "I am currently bringing all meetings into

Shorts are often (usually) a legit way to reduce risk - if the stock falls, you’re not losing everything. But that’s less entertaining to report about, so you rarely read about this in the non-technical news.

There's quite a gap to be filled between the current US situation and "everyone has a house with ocean view". You might not be able (and not want) to bring inequality to 0, that doesn't mean the current level can't

For context: I remember hearing the paying developers are a very little fraction of the 25M. I don't pay for it, and I know many people who just created an account to play with the beta releases. I don't think I know anyone who pa

Bass is like sugar. Lots of it produces a quick addiction to their consumer, but that doesn't mean they are good. Beats produce loud but muddy basses. Good bass will be more subtle, but at the same time clearer. Try a Sennheiser if you

If an electricity company would offer a TV to each customer without any surcharge, then yes that’d be free, because customers are paying the same for less before. So, while I get your point, we are near unfair use of a monopoly situation he

That’s because the M1 processor comes from a mobile heritage that’s always been focused on efficiency. The fact that they started an architecture decades after x86 allowed them to learn from its errors, remove its complexity and tune it for
