You still have to go through the config and enable/disable things for your project. That's the biggest barrier; the lack of good default configs to use for flake8 and pylint. If Google or Microsoft or someone else supplied one, I&

Seems you're taking the 10X approach and focusing on full-time jobs instead of freelance/per-project jobs. I like it! Too bad about the location restriction, are remote positions possible to hire for?

Yeah it is noteworthy when the majority of companies still schedule big launch deploys and the company I'm at is deploying once every 2 weeks and a coworker just tried pushing for deploying once every 3 weeks.

Is there a reason why no one has tried to add 10 to 30 second spots to these streaming services? Is the temptation to have ad spots after every song too great to resist? Or are ad spots just too hard to measure and often times ineffective?

I got the same bait & switch; hired as a contractor "consultant" for 60/hr and then got a job offer for 70k but the manager said it's possible to go up to 90k. I assumed I'd be starting at 80k because I don&#x27

Europe isn't the only place where this is an issue; Canadian companies have an issue with taking risks which is why you see a lot of marketing/ad "startups", consultancies and products/services geared towards the fi

The only thing GitFlow had going for it is that it has a clearly written article about it with pictures that explain how it works. That's it; the freedom of git and being able to define what works for you is too much for people and the

I use Keepassx and the only thing I use the cloud for is to store the password file which is encrypted by either a pass phrase or key file. LastPass always struck me as a dumb thing to use. The investigation has shown, however, that LastPa
