You haven’t even lived half your life. Hell you haven’t even gone through half your work life, how could you be too old? Never let fear of the future stop you from doing something that you want to do. Well, maybe within reason, but changing

I really wish the cyberpunk novels I read in my youth would stop becoming reality. Especially Distraction by Bruce Sterling comes to mind. It’s just so crazy that political entities run false campaigns, and that the impact of these campaign

We use this sort of identification for any joint services in public sector digitalisation, which is a lot, because a lot of our foundation is shared. Reading this I’m fairly happy we do it mainly with C# at my place. All that configuration

Even when you buy a physical copy it’s often just a steam activation code in an empty box.

I have a lot of fond memories of going to the local video game shop with my friends to look at boxes, or a mid-night opening to pick up Diablo 2 before a weekend-long LAN party. I miss the meaty manuals, that I still have for games like Bal

> If your tax-agents aren’t needed, then downsize them, I mean, maybe I could have put it more clearly, but I think it is fairly obvious that I wasn’t advocating for what you seem to think. I’m just not sure what strawman you’re trying t

We’re mainly a C# shop with some JavaScript, but I’ve done my time with php, ror and java, and, Django is still my favourite web-framework. Don’t get me wrong I actually like .Net Core, but DB migrations, authentication, testing and product

Your comparison is a little flawed. IRS staff are a net surplus for the government, and its quite silly to get rid of someone who makes money. We did it in Denmark during our new public management period. It cost us billions in tax evasion

I’m surprised HN is so hostile toward IT architecture. I work in the public sector in Denmark, and enterprise architecture is vital for us. We’re 98 municipalities that each operate around 300 different IT systems. These need to interact wi

What counts as the glory days of computation? On HN it’s probably having a great deal of control and ownership over our systems. I’m not sure that’s what most people would consider glory though. I work with digitalisation in the public sect

Out of curiosity I looked up the authors CV, and he started attending a university in 2000. I do find someone old enough to attend a university, calling an elected official stupid cunt and a whore, horrible.

You know, when I read that paragraph I was actually on board with the author. We’ve probably all said stupid things on the internet at one point. Then I read the actual tweet and lost all sympathy. It’s just so horrible, and, I think the au

Seems more like twitter banned the author 9 years too late.

I was trying to say, that maybe the media is seeing this backlash, not because of some Amazon marketing army, but instead because a lot of people are genuinely happy working for Amazon.

I recently watched a Danish documentary about Israel, it’s a whole series on the Middle East, and one of the things they talked about in it was how Israel is never in the Danish media for anything positive. That same day I read an article a

I think it depends entirely on what you want from it. I utilise social media professionally, and my articles on LinkedIn have certainly opened some doors. Among the most noticeably was when I was awarded the great honour of working on a few

I used to think LinkedIn was kind of silly, but these days I think it’s what you make of it. I work in public sector digitalisation in Denmark, and in my experience, LinkedIn is the single greatest tool to connect with managers and decision

Haven’t we become a lot less apt at exposing manipulation? There isn’t a history of what you see in your social media feed or in your search results, and there is no record of who paid for it to look the way it did on that particular day. F

I think they’re believable because google started by providing things that weren’t wrong. If you search for a time zone google shows it in your local time, if you search for currency conversion google does that. All those things that it’s d

I’m the wrong person to ask, all I know is that Microsoft, Azure and Offfice365 is on the government list of places we can put our data (which doesn’t go above NSIS level 3) safely and legally. Slack isn’t on that list.

I get your point, but I’m not sure you can apply enterprise problems to small businesses. Take my specific example, my department has a mailing list called something along the lines of Digitalisation, we have this because we’re 7000 employe

I think Teams is exactly excellent because it allows you to secure your collaboration tool. Especially valuable post GDPR where you really don’t want your non-tech savy employers putting privacy data into some online Trello board, or slack&

It’s complicated because it’s political. You have managers, politicians, project owners, project managers, business process consultants and the actual workers all influence decisions, and often the decision becomes some sort of compromise w

We’ve gone back to buying DVDs/Blurays and renting movies. My most recent purchase was all seasons of x-files in a single box for $15. Usually it’s a tad more expensive to pick up an entire season of something though, so there is some

I don’t think activity is bad on LinkedIn, if it’s relevant. Some of the best articles I’ve read in 2019 haven’t been in places like Medium, Dev.to and all those other “blogs that are mostly just wordy twitter opinion posts” places. It’s be

I think that’s the power of react native, it’s in a framework you already sort of know because everything is web, and it’s good enough for teams that can’t dedicate enough resources for native apps. I work in a Danish municipality. Being a
