It can depend on the company, but some companies literally don't have a public facing email anymore. I was trying to get in contact with Bank of America of whom I am not a customer because they were (and still are) spamming my inbox an

I went to a fairly well off public high school for my area and our food was horrific. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who went to a public high school in the US in the last 15 years where the food wasn't horrible, nutrition w

Man the number of times while I was at UW that a cyclist just sideswiped me while I was in the middle of a crosswalk instead of just reducing speed momentarily. And they didn't even need to be on the road! Burke-Gilman is right there!

This is an interesting post, because it squares with my personal small team experience with rebase which goes against what I perceive as the common opinion. We were having some serious merge conflict issues and I explored rebase as a tool t

I strongly agree with the author's experience. I recently totally redid my personal site with Hugo so I could simplify it and learn technology at the same time. It's absolutely great if you want a landing page and blog, really ter

The current hotness is "Agile". A government contractor friend of mine cynically calls it "Waterfall but with 1 week, rather than 1 year, deadlines". Atlassian[0] has a good guide to generally understand what it is I thi

Yes with caveats. The overall test coverage of the code I'm currently unit testing is 63%. This does not mean the remaining 37% will ever get tested, it means around 63% of the codebase is worth testing. What's more relevant is th
