After participating in the hiring of an SAP developer I realized -- financially speaking, anyway -- that I picked the wrong thing to specialize in. The first time we brought in someone truly experienced in SAP development, we paid him more

Just looking through the comments made me almost avoid adding to the hatred of SAP but I don't know ... SAP is special to those of us who have had to deal with it. I worked at a global multi-national telecom that used an ancient versio

Are welcomes a positive for some people? Or is this like starting Slack conversations with "Hey, how's it going?" They can be positive for me -- if they provide helpful information, explain -- briefly and courteously -- t

Food is all over the place these days as long as that place is "up". We just stopped going to Taco Bell all together. It's kind of crazy. I can't find a reason to go there any longer. As a kid, they were so cheap[0],

Personally, I hadn't thought of it this way (mostly dismissed the idea). I'm sure it's a much different experience and one would have to experience it to properly judge it. I think the difficulty with the other, more generi

You would certainly think so ... I did. But I'm sorry to say that you are strongly overestimating the general population here. My friends know I'm the local crypto-geek[0] so Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies and tokens are brou
