I came in here to basically say that all these questions are great, but being able to just simply walk around the office and its departments (if it's that big) is also really important. You got bamboozled to a pretty extreme extent, bu

If it makes you feel any better, I worked at the "sales company" and they certainly aren't winning big. I think you're just underestimating the amount of factors involved in determining business success.

The author works for bad management. I once related to all these pain points too. On the other hand I don't think its fair to blame the author for their self-discipline or whatever. When a QA engineer tags you and your manager on Sla

I think it's really important that the web be free and open and I think Cloudflare and now Voxility have done a tremendous job in exercising their freedom as private entities to shut down voices of hate. Other service providers can ste

I think I'm burning out because my job is too easy. I like working. Satisfaction of completing a good job makes me happy. Is anyone else experiencing burnout as a result of numbingly boring tasks rather than from intense bursts of me

My anecdotal evidence of the contrary: I was hired to replace a junior developer at my employer about 2 years ago. When my teammate left (team of two), I was basically handed over the entire mobile app. I even built and deployed an entirely

For a second I thought nobody was going to stick up for the bajillion dollar mega corporation. Every employer I've worked for has had: * Billions of dollars less money than Amazon * Better working conditions Amazon doesn't need yo

I think the author takes for granted the amount of work involved in software engineering. I work for a startup who's product has glaringly obvious flaws. But someone has to do the work of writing code to improve upon existing featu

At the ground floor of my former office was a cafe. It wasn't an old, established cultural icon like my local dumping spot, but it employed people who provided their goods and services. That was one year ago. It's been vacant sinc

I can say that personally, a bootcamp worked for me as I needed some kind of environment where I had some kind of obligations, real or not. I needed some kind of structure to put it simply. That being said, my success only came after the fa

I'm unsure why you think my anecdotes of failures hiring software engineers is not relevant to a discussion on how to not hire software engineers. I think you misread my comment, because drawing a conclusion on my hiring process from 3

I've helped hire 3 software engineers to both work with me and mentor me and they were all failures. First two hires quit after only a few weeks. Third hire was temporarily successful. He eventually revealed himself to be both a jerk a

I don't qualify. Edit: I should elaborate. There are companies out there offering internships that I would die for. I don't mean FAANG stuff or Big 5 or whatever. I'm talking small shops like Teenage Engineering or medium siz

I have 3 years experience with native iOS/tvOS. Where I lack in deep technical knowledge I make up for it with my experience managing the entire application development life-cycle of multiple products. I am looking for a role where I c
