Well, times clearly changed but the end goal remains the same. I don't have data, however, from what I see/read, there is a tendency of developers/companies using .NET environments to just go for Azure. It looks like it comes

No. You can provide constructive criticism without BS or say things in a meaningful way without diminishing people. I wonder why so many people in this thread seem to see this topic either black or white.

I don't know if this was the meaning of the OP's message, but the way I read it tells me that he dislikes the "everything is fine" BS that some companies keep on doing, not the fact you still need to criticise constructi

I started a few months ago a personal home finance manager which includes other nice things - in Flutter (!!!). Then I decided to switch to Python and Qt because Flutter for desktop is still not a thing, and finally to c++ and qt6, because

This you can only do when they don't set meetings just after lunch time, which is very common in my company unfortunately. But yeah I agree with you.

I think the idea is to squeeze as much as you can now,... so that you can also leave something to your kids and possibly have a decent lifestyle when you're old. They are all valid points, unfortunately. Let's just remember some p

I am not the OP however I think he means that there are certain topics which place you in an either "with us" or "against us" group. In many cases, you're either AfD or a Green (kind of). I don't think he is ta

Weird, DHL is for me the best and most professional of all. The experience you mentioned happens to me with DPD and very often with GLS. Hermes is also pretty good and professional. Maybe it depends on the location...

Did you ever read Thinking in Systems (D. Meadows)? It's quite a nice read and there are some nice paragraphs about why we need rules to prevent or reduce monopolies.

I agree with you. These 7-8-9-10% increases are actually much more than that, in my opinion. I understand they need to make an average, but well, it looks like we need maybe other indicators as well? I think just alone the groceries have in

That's a huge bias to bring in an interview. Sometimes you work on some cool project for a while, then it becomes boring, etc. Or sometimes you're stuck with that job because of lack of other local opportunities. Or whatever other

I like this one. Very straightforward and unambiguous.

As far as I know, it has to be approved unanimously, so Turkey can say "NO" and nothing will happen. The point is that ... today Turkey makes demands, sure, but tomorrow it's someone else, or event today itself, except that T

The question would be ... how much will Elon Musk pay to buy Twitter after pointing out that their business is essentially a bunch of bots, etc.? Kind of "hey guys, look, I really think your platform costs around 52$ per share, but ...

The parent commenter, probably :) Jokes aside, ... it's not uncommon in (such) large organizations to be in the lucky team and that's it. With all these people leaving, managers know how much you actually work, but it's a win

There is also the LGPL version which allows you to still make money and release closed source.

Well, it took some time before a more modern language like Python had tools like pip, virtualenv, etc. Only "recently" they got more sophisticated tools like pipenv ( https://pypi.org/project/pipenv/#histo

I have been using Akka in production for several years now and it's one of the best things I ever did. The actor model itself is really good, it makes you think about problems differently, and in my opinion it's better than tradit

yeah but it sucks to become the new "cobol" - I hope not, at least, as I am learning now C++ after so many years and I really like it. But hey, I don't make money with it, so I can't talk about how frustrating it must be

I honestly don't believe it has anything to do with the college level. No offense, but you study python, learn its basic syntax + "algorithm design" book + 1 practical book about algorithms and data structures and you're

Well it depends a lot on the patent, I guess. Some patents are definitely not worth a startup, so probably it's not a bad idea to get some bonus and be done with it. However it's cool for big companies to show they have thousands

It's a company, it's a bit weird if they have to ask all the time for support, so they try to monetize in ways that finally are not really invasive. (At least that's my opinion) They try, they fail, they try again, they fail
