I gave up on Ace like a decade ago... my local Fred Meyer (Kroger) has a better hardware section than my local Ace. I don't really have any loyalty to Home Depot vs. Lowe's vs. a local mom and pop, just have what I need when I nee

I have IDEA Ultimate, which, as you said, allows the same functionality via plugins but isn't the same experience. WebStorm is somewhat better, but I'm not going to pop for another license when I technically already have that func

I love IntelliJ for most languages. When it comes to JS/HTML/CSS though I use VS Code... I find it's IntelliSense and TypeScript support superior. Especially when I'm on a project using webpack/sass/etc. IDEA j

You can ask for a raise in two ways (in my book) that are indicitave of someone who is in fact a high performer, or at least savvy. 1. You approach a manager with expanded responsibilities that would justify more pay. Or a detailed account

Not if your efforts were wiped out by a project that went sideways and lost 20K on another side of the company. It's also highly unlikely that your singular effort created 10K more profit. That 10K was likely the culmination of a numbe

I'm not totally in love with the notion, and now that I'm in my own company we do not do it that way at all. However, by giving the manager a pool, my old company was empowering that manager to spend the money as they saw fit. The

I've hired plenty of people, and been in three times as many discussions of pay with everyone from the janitor to the CEO and I've never heard someone insinuate that we could pay less because the person is female, but I've he

So I checked their site and lo and behold I'm in the estimated 44% of Americans affected by this. Here's my question, how can we, as a massive group, get some type of recourse? I'm not talking about suing for money necessaril

Even if bad luck happened to coincide, charging people rent for an uninhabitable domicile is unconscionable in my book. You can have bad luck and still be a good person. And if you're truly running it as a business, you should be mostl

After helping my 4 year old build dozens of kits over the past year or two I've noticed many patterns of use with those 'specialized' pieces. They're absolutely reusable, to the degree that by looking at a box I can pret

It's over the top for sure, but if I knew someone charging rent to people when those properties were flooded out I would completely cut them off from my social circles- legal or not, they're crappy people and worse at business. He

What I meant by implementation is that you can implement your company's processes via JIRA configurations, workflows, and occasionally plugins in such a way that the way your instance operates is almost unrecognizable from the way some

by manyxcxi 9y ago
The thing about JIRA hate (or love), is that it only has a little to do with the actual product. As the article says, crappy process will give you a crappy experience. But a crappy configuration will do just the same. If you're constan

I agree more with you but also do somewhat subscribe to, I think, the author's intent. First though, as for hiring a full time employee with only the ability to pay them for two months: if you're not up-front with this person you&

While true, if you need OS X for your work, you're stuck. I don't need OS X, but I prefer it for work for two reasons: 1) Developing on *nix like OSes is far more ergonomic to me than on Windows 2) OS X, in my opinion, hits a swee

That's how I use it, but you're still paying for the stuff you're not using. Instead of buying their atrocious software, I'd like to spend it on better display characteristics.

Am I the only one that would love to be able to buy a dumb TV? I have a Roku and a satellite provider, they can't provide me with anything I don't already have. I would even be fine with a tuner free TV with no software on it. Giv

You don't have to be in UTC, but having your clock set to 24 hours still makes it a lot easier. After a year of daily meetings with people on the east coast (of the US), London, Hamberg, and Brasilia from the west coast of the US I jus

I remember the first time I went to my CTO to get a retention raise and, frankly, how easy it was. I think you're right in that there's a decent amount of money left on the table because the managers don't reach for it when t

by manyxcxi 9y ago
Most decent companies have two pools of money. One for raises, and one for retention. The key here is, the manager has to really fight for it. If they believe enough in the employee to battle for the retention dollars, I've typically s

Just to add, I forgot about office spaces. We're all remote and most everyone works from a home office- except myself and one of my developers. Our combined office space leases (WeWork and Regus) in Seattle and Portland still don'

Health insurance is by far the largest, but I generally consider that part of salary when I'm thinking about costs. After that it's hosting (we have no on-prem infrastructure), AWS is probably 85% of that cost.

I went from architect to director, partly because I recognized I was already doing a lot of what a director should have been (we didn't have a Director of Technology at the marketing agency I worked for). Here's what I intuitively

When starting our company this is exactly the type of clause we had. To roughly summarize; In the event of divorce the partner has no claim and in the event of death the company has the option to buy them out or leave them with no voting ri

I've done a lot with curl and jq for REST calls with bash. But if I'm doing a lot of API calls I usually go straight to Python or Node- usually Node because I feel like I'm faster with it for that type of stuff. I tend to sav

It entirely depends on my use case. If I'm stringing I/O together from other applications, I'll just glue them together in Bash. If I'm building something a bit more robust or integrated I'll use Python or Groovy or

I'm in the same boat. I have a serious analysis paralysis when it comes to figuring out what my next laptop will be (assuming the MBP keeps hardware specs relatively similar). I just don't know how to find a good laptop model that

In the same boat but I get enough ambient sound from the offices around me that it's not too bad. I still occasionally throw the headphones on when I want to REALLY crank the tunes or listen to a podcast, but I've found that just

I generally agree with the idea of not criminalizing an honest mistake. I change my tune when it comes to mistakes that show a lack of fitness for the general task/required skills. In some cases I think a civil action like a fine or so

What I didn't say was that my only experience so far is with Groovy by itself, and using Gradle to build. It's not an implication of Groovy or Maven for not supporting it, it's that I don't know the right way to do it ye
