imo, the greatest improvement in this process is made when both sides (interviewer and interviewee) realize it's a two way street - a mutually beneficial relationship. Both sides, pick some problems that NONE of you know the answer to and w

It doesn't matter. There are millions of people getting paid who produce zero or negative value (if that's possible?) their entire lives. Not that they have intentionally done anything wrong. Many people just end up on a path they believe

Interesting. I thought one of the main advantages of Scrum was to be able to adapt to changing requirements. From wikipedia: "A key principle of Scrum is its recognition that during a project the customers can change their minds about what

The execs at HP think that you should run a technology company like you would a WalMart. They'll get some short term profits with their cost cutting but the revenue is dropping with it.

So they're forced to pay into the unemployment system through taxation but once they need to use some of that money, it's not ok? Please, if you don't like the system, argue for a different system. You aren't going to change the behavior o

Just my opinion but I think your statement is pretty immature. It seems rather that for some reason you want to put them down and I don't believe its because you think it will help them. Let them be responsible for themselves. It doesn't he

Thanks, maybe I will pick it up. Just want to make a point on your last paragraph. I agree but at the same time I don't see any reason why we need to demonize the people who don't know what to do. Whether what they are doing is right or w

Can you tell us more about this passage?

just my opinion but text is popular because you don't have to make those decisions quickly. it lets you communicate with less exposure. if you don't know how to reply to a certain statement, you have time to think it over or not reply at a

So were requirements, design, coding, debugging and testing all crammed into this 90 days? I'm guessing that system is going to be very difficult to maintain. You need some downtime for designs to settle in your mind and to be sure that it

This list is awesome. I would love to work for someone like you. My experience has been that even when the leader/ceo/whatever decides to cut their own pay in that situation, it is done in some sneaky way that doesn't really result in much

"I think it's important to look at costs as investments in the business. And if that investment will not yield a good return, why make it?" Can't agree more. This was my point. Look at those costs as investments and not just something you

Why do costs get created in a company? Generally it seems that we create a cost because we think it will result in revenue greater than that cost or because we think that cost will prevent some other larger cost (such as fines from the gov

Just because you weren't interested in those subjects doesn't mean you can't become interested in them. There are already enough external motivators, such as being forced to be on time and in class or face detention and I believe even even
