I think this comment is absolutely spot on. The biggest difference between software development and other careers is that people don't care how you got to where you are. They only care if you can produce good work. And there's a L

I thought this article was fantastic. We could use more kindness at home, at work, and in general. I find it really unfortunate when an engineer is fired because of a mistake. All the company is really doing is giving a more experienced eng

It is easy to feel oppressed in software development. I don't mean to say that people in software development are oppressed, just that it's easy to feel that way. One of the goals of software development is to create a product t

Realize also that exceptional uptime is not easy to achieve. If you want to sell this service, you also need to have incredibly reliable infrastructure. Example: I worked at a VoIP company. A mishandled call by another carrier in the chain

No the gun does not move. The author appears to have misunderstood this. I don't find it likely that he would have used the words "physically moves to point" if he meant that the electron beam is deflected magnetically. Still

You're right. I did misrepresent the situation. I've had quite a few positive experiences there too. Some of the best feedback I've gotten from this thread is that I should be looking at my own behavior and considering whethe

Possibly my favorite part of the entire post comes from the comments at the bottom. Apparently some radio stations used to broadcast software--you'd just record it onto a tape and then load it with your C64 (or other computer with a ta
