Wrong. The deal was abandoned by Boeing, as an unfolding of the 737-MAX major fiasco. And that merge wasn't Embraer "throwing the towel": Bombardier, Embraer's direct competitor, partnered up with Airbus, getting a criti

The market is indeed not the same it was during the past 2 or 3 years. But these last years were abnormally good for IT professionals. Too much cheap money distorted the job market and, if you don't have much experience on how things u

There's indeed more than Ad blockers to this matter. Web scrapers became a major issue since they realized the great economical potential of LLMs and AI in general. Incumbents may wish to make it hard for competitors to run their own b

Similar experience here. Daydreaming happens more often as I spend extended periods alone, sometimes to a point I would also call "maladaptive". I'm looking for ways to deal with that. It often prevents me to make any meaning

Hi. Question: I'm an engineer living outside the US. If I were to establish a consultancy company in the US and offer my services through it, would that fulfill the legal and security concerns?

It may be my mileage.. But I frequently hear about the shortage of mainframe professionals and, some years ago, I seriously considered getting into it. However, after some attempts to find training on topics I typically see in job postings

These days I had big trouble to get a refund from an airline. I had their confirmation, via email, that the ticket would be reimbursed. But then, after some days, they alleged, absurdly, that I had flown the ticket and hence I wouldn't

My experience with vim differs drastically and I believe the root of most problems you had stems from trying to turn vim into an IDE. I won't argue at all. If you prefer IDEs, you go for it. But maybe vim and neovim aren't the be

No UX-designed systems in sight, just users having a good experience.

Agreed. And, sadly, besides providing zero education, some code reviews even turn into spaces of abuse of political power when conducted by unprepared reviewers. I've been unfortunate to work with one of those, some years ago. I decide

And don't forget the UX designers armed with their figmas and alikes. The tech-stack is only one among a number of organizational and cultural issues crippling the field.
