Part of the problem, too, is that there are too many people making outrageous salaries. I am currently hiring and as part of the interview process, I ask a very straightforward question. I expect it to take on the order of 5 minutes and 7 l

Seems like an interesting concept to me, but you have the possibility of a system that can be gamed. You are asking for someone to find bugs created by someone else. You can't really verify that the two people are not the same person o

I have memories of being in a school bus during the summer and driving through streets with open hydrants. Without fail, the kids manning the hydrant would grab a can and use it to direct the water towards the bus. The first time it happene

Unrelated question: Some of the pictures show people on their digital devices, at work or otherwise. Has the quality of customer service dropped with the ubiquity of smart phones? I believe it has here in the US, but I think that there is a

I wonder if you can ask them to reconsider. Let them know that you acknowledge your faults and that you want to work to improve yourself. In exchange, you will bring a positive attitude, work hard, and apply your skills and knowledge in a p

This is so true. The first step is proving your idea out by doing things that don't scale. Create a landing page, get some email addresses, put things in a spreadsheet and process them manually. Figure out if the idea is a good one. Ad

That sounds horrible and I am sorry you have to face that. I've left places that have had toxic environments. Explain that you did not fit in, from a cultural perspective. Try to avoid bad-mouthing the old employer, but make it clear t

I couldn't make it through. I was thinking about Bloom filters just earlier today and was actually looking forward to reading about them. I'll try again tomorrow with a different author.

Dave, Figure out where you want to work the most. Don't be a fence-sitter in this regard. Follow your gut. Next, let that company know that you have another offer that is better than theirs. Explain that you really want to work with th
