On the one hand Mr. Dean rightly recognizes that longer-tenured developers bring more company-specific and domain-specific expertise to the table and they should be paid attractively to prevent them from leaving and taking that knowledge wi

What do you think the net effect of deploying a new container image is? At some point the server goes down and a new copy is loaded. You could always disable opcaching and then you wouldn't even have to restart the server to deploy a

I'm presupposing that I'm the hiring manager. That's why I said "I would certainly give a candidate like that a second look."

I fail to understand how you equate "Go on interviews even when you don't need a job." with "waste people's time." The idea is to interview when you don't need a job so that you can easily negotiate for
