There's a difference between someone who genuinely believes what they are evangelizing, and paying marketing people to spread some corporate opinion. The OP is referring to the second type I think. Of course the two are not mutually ex

I've had some really good experiences as a candidate, since my GitHub has a couple repos that are actually used by people and have some stars. I've even had an interviewer tell me he had used one of them before, that was nice. As

It's really not "trivially easy" to get in contact when the operation is run by a government or a corporation (even less). At best they "hear you" and "will take it into account", then keep on doing what w

Indeed, ideally we should be thinking in tree lifespans, or several hundred years. But right now, we plant oaks, which can live for centuries, and don't even think about next year's dry season. And then wonder why they die from la

This won't get resolved until collectively we move from "planted X millions of trees" to "X millions of trees have flourished for 5/10/15 years". The problem of course is that it's a) much more diffic

Lots of satellites have thrusters to stabilize and adjust their orbits. Especially those at lower orbits since they do have to counter the effects of atmospheric drag. All that's really needed is a convention for those satellites than

Marketing is not about truth, period. I prefer the older term for the occupation: advertising and propaganda.

Same here, it's super easy to set qbittorrent on a server. I did put it behind an nginx server but that's just common sense when exposing anything on the web. The web UI does the job, no complaints.

I suppose it depends on your definition of success. For me it's more about medium and long term success, not growing quickly and selling out a couple years later. Sure you can bang out a ball of mud that ticks all the right buzzwords o

I've managed several remote teams and in-office teams. Problems with motivation? Plenty. But never had a problem with remote people slacking off, any more than those that come to the office every day.

Some people get more motivated when being around others, these are the type that come in even if allowed to work remotely. Others are more productive when home, able to better focus, these are the type that never come in if avoidable. Obvio

When was it not? Only reason to go on for me is when looking for work. You can see available offers, chat with recruiters, see if anyone you know is working in a potential company, and that's about it. It's not like I'm going
