Spanish bodies rarely manage their information systems themselves - this is not just related to police, all public servants work with applications built by private companies. Usually, consulting firms such as Indra and Deloitte build and ma

Spanish police has a history of struggling with technology. For instance, a hacking group was able to expose the personal data of 5400 police officers a few years ago, including password hashes, with some weak passwords among them [1] [1]

This post makes it look like Shopify's leadership is authoritarian and patronising. I don't know their turnover numbers but companies like this suit very specific people, and some developers run away when they get a chance.

I couldn't agree more. Compared to my previous job at an office, where my manager's role seemed to be to draw developers into pointless arguments he had won beforehand, as a fully remote developer I find myself only interacting wi

Whatsapp didn't have end-to-end encryption until April 2016. The app used to cost €0.89 per year (which I guess was $1 at the time). I'd be surprised if Facebook had bought WhatsApp looking for revenue. Even if the service is oper

Is hiring broken, or is it a symptom of deeper organizational issues? When I browse European startup offers and I interview for some of those positions, I get the feeling that their endless list of requirements has more to do with having hi

As a software developer in a southern European country, the current scenario is just appalling. Salaries have receeded to the levels of the worst years of the previous decade, and we are now forced to make less money with worse conditions t
