Whilst it's certainly more 'left' than the Mail, the comparison is well off. I'm not a supporter of either, but The Guardian at least has well researched/written articles in general, whereas The Daily Mail is pure t

Especially as most of the roles they want, are the same roles the government doesn't want to increase the pay of.

This is UK government at its finest - create regulations that are unenforceable, and espouse metrics that are meaningless. It's going to get more crazy in the run up to the election, as all the new promises appear, despite never finish

The government is taking money from productive people, and using it for all sorts of unproductive ends. Most people on welfare don't have enough to become productive - living is already a struggle. The government would take the money a

Copyright should be about crediting the creator. Whether that be financially or just as a source to be cited. What is should not be, is a way to remove the sharing of knowledge, which is detrimental to society as a whole. Fictional works,

Whichever books you read - some great suggestions in the comments so far - please treat them as advice, and not religious texts. So many managers and higher fail terribly at being effective because they believe all they need to do is encour

"big words" are fine, so long as you are using the words that your audience understands. You need to speak to your audience. You could always use those words, and explain the definition/meaning as a side-note, which would be

Go often attracts similarly problematic people, who prefer to yolo 'script-like' code because it's 'simple' but becomes unmaintainable more quickly at scale. Both languages are becoming far more mainstream, but they

I doubt the research accounts for Neurodivergent folks, assuming it even correctly represents Neurotypical. As with many of these studies, they're treated as fact despite it being clear that it does not address the real-world problems.
