I see a wide range of attrition figures quoted for Amazon. In the last year they range from 12% PA to high 30s and sometimes more in the lower skilled areas. (They also have this interesting split of regrettable and non-regrettable attritio

Even firmware development in C is lower paid than almost any Java/JS conventional development role in Sydney. Having done both, the C one is much harder due to being in a much more resource limited environment. The only real electroni

I recently tried to run Sigrok on a Windows 11 PC with the Salea clone and I could not find a version that did not crash on the second capture. It seems to run fine on my Mac. So I was flashing the board Windows (due to the new serial to U

I think this is part of the process to ridicule candidates. Maybe interviewers are cynical after interviewing so many really bad candidates and the only enjoyment they get from the process is the ability to look down on them. I have done a

I have implemented the binary protocol from scratch many years ago. Amusingly, at the time, the data files downloaded from Garmins was pretty much the same protocol but just in a file. If you got a USB Ant+ receiver you got, as I recall, th

There is still a very large set of people using older style C++. particularly those that came from C. I can assure you they are a long long way from retirement. This is particularly true of large code-bases in established firms. Personall

Yes. And, sometimes when the standard is so low, it's impossible to convince anyone that it is broken. Specially when you indicate the effort to fix things. Sometimes 'struggling by' is the modus operandi. What comes with thi

I had many thousands of machines. I needed to collect disk size, ram, software inventory, some custom config, if present. Some machines are Linux, some windows. With prefect I created a task 'collect machine details for windows',

I am highly dubious that it would be possible to manage 100k servers, specially to do interactions with large numbers at a time. The way tower collects results in a thread pool, assuming success, simply does not work at any scale. I tried a

Yes, the original stack 'Prefect' was written to address issues in airflow. The DAG on prefect was built using decorators in a context which was pretty cool and worked well but they moved to DAG generation as code on Orion. Prefec

I often hear this and some other one about 'premature optimisation is evil or such'. While it is very true that spending a whole heap of time optimising something that never needs it is a huge waste of time, spending the extra tim

Another similar issue is, if you see a huge problem that will take lots of time to fix, and, if you take it on, your timesheets don't have enough time on the other approved new work codes. For this you will eventually be punished in th

This way more serious than a 'huge disappointment'. The platform seemed to be based on some weird 'forms' based application builder when it was released ten years ago. It is flakey as hell. Ugly I can deal with, we have

This probably also depends on your core business. If your product does not deal with real money, crypto, or other financial instruments and it is not serious if something goes wrong with a small number of people in production, this may work

OK, you are right, never say never. For a once off, experiment or code never going to prod that you are always going to babysit, a regex is a good solution for speed and size of code. The trouble with most simple regexes to solve this, is t
