Usually would agree, but I ended up staying for a few years (and a couple of retention bonuses) and I think it turned out to be the right decision. It was a tight-knit team and I think they only lost one person during the whole acquisition

The company I was at was purchased by a much larger competitor. It wasn't a startup in the least. It was a 12 year old company. The first employee was an IT guy. He didn't win anything. Most of the 250 employees were laid off exce

> When I see a company describe its “no assholes” rule, I see a company inclined toward calling people assholes. I agree. I'd rather they have a "golden rule" policy which would effectively accomplish the same thing, but c

That commute is killing you. So is the perception that you aren't doing anything if you aren't doing something all of the time. Give yourself a break. Everyone needs to have an outlet and video games happen to be on the lower end

If you are really adding some actual value then $5 is a price point that would make me dismiss your product offhand because the price is too low. Is there a gap in perception of value or is there just little value in what you are providing?

What if a regime is using a FOSS application you wrote to do that? Should there be clauses in software licenses to indicate that the software provided cannot be used in a manner that causes harm to others? Further still, how would you enfor

That is incredible insight. I hope the OP listens to this advice as there are several signs of a toxic organizations and is probably ignoring them on the hope that it not.

The other clowns who ran for the Libertarian party nomination make it really hard to take Gary Johnson seriously. That he is their candidate really just says he meets the very, very low bar that was set by the other candidates.

Absolutely. From the comfort of the States, I am glad that the coup did not succeed, but only because Turkey falling into chaos would be beyond terrible. That said, the recent fallout has all the markings of opportunism and expansion of pow

Expense reports, I am guessing. The charges made plus mileage on the car.

This post sounds like every interview cycle I've ever gone through. The self doubt during the process, the surprise at their interest, the pleasantness of the new company, and then finally, the hard part: making a decision. Not sure wh

You've seen it and know you enjoy it. Surely you experienced the twists of The Fugitive unspoiled by the media. Additionally, I don't think anyone could have pictured Harrison Ford as the actual killer in the movie. And you always

I am probably going to wait for the season to complete so I can binge watch. Am I the only one? My big concern is all of the media and spoilers that surround these popular shows. Why do I know who died in Orange is the New Black? Why does G

Agreed. In the worst case scenario, you could be consulting to a small startup, yourself. Just be sure to improve yourself during that downtime so that you don't come back into the search rusty.

Check the pay for the top executives at non-profits. Then decide whether you should forgo your profit for theirs.

When I didn't manage to make it past my Amazon interviews, I hit a wall. It was a harsh realization that I was either not my best self or that I was not good enough. After a two month slump, I decided that I was just not up to the stan

I totally get it and I think you are right in your analysis. What hooked me was the tactics of the sport. I enjoy watching someone at the top of their game, but I can't take the violence. As a result, I'm hooked on cooking competi

I disliked UFC until I watched it. At that time, I was very much into going to the gym and working out and that seemed to bring out some aggression that the UFC absorbed. Lately, I just can't see it as anything more than brutality. I g

The documentation is really spare, but coincidentally, the books written by Terrence Parr are good reads and with the right time investment, make dealing with Antlr feel less like voodoo and more like software engineering.

Based on your assumptions, it looks like we are going up the tech ladder. You won't get by without specialist knowledge in the future and probably will need big money as well. No more "low hanging fruit", though I hate the ph
