As long as there is truth in your humor or humor in your truth then I think it has a place here. I don't avoid it, myself.

I like the idea, but the site is unusable on mobile (iPhone 5s).

That's one way to look at it. If someone paid me a certain amount to live and work in Hawaii, for example, and I knew I would live well on that amount and it would make me happy then how do you optimize for happiness? I make more than

What a dilemma. :) Figure out if that is sufficient for you to live on. Personally, I would take it, but negotiate the stock or signing bonus up if possible.

Agreed. A good excuse for a news and internet fast.

Currently going through it now. It's been about 4 months now and it has had an effect on all aspects of my life. I found recently that instead of doing work while commuting, I was better off reading books of my choosing and listening t

I for one welcome our new satanic overlords. In all jest, it is probably someone trying to scare people out of a gentrifying neighborhood. That's as malicious as I can imagine it being.

Lack of meaningful connections. Also, I don't want to participate in their facial recognition database. I find this to be the worst in terms of the privacy I give up because I can be tagged in a picture without ever posting a thing. An

Bouncing between non-MS technologies including Node, Django, Dropwizard, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, etc. I've done this in the past and came out with a decent understanding of Rails and Play! with Scala, but I just haven't found love yet.

I've been lucky to work for a manager who acted this way. He never articulated it because it was clear from day one that he was going to bat for me and everyone on his team. The results spoke for themselves. I had a manager recently wh

Can you ask them to reimburse you for the trip? Explain that you run a business on small margins so as to provide the best value for your customers.

This is all you need to say. If you are pressed on your reasons in a meeting or otherwise, make it clear that it was a hard choice and that you thought through it very well so that they don't counter the offer. Keep it professional. It

In general, we try to avoid technical debt and instead take on functional debt, cutting features and falling back to workarounds where they exist. When dealing with a technical-debt-laden code base, it's important to communicate to the

I think that the narrative that you tell yourself is the narrative that you believe. If you tell yourself you are a whiner then the next time you whine, you have a reason to, you are a whiner, after all. Change the story you tell yourself s

I remember hearing this episode on the radio some time back. I am blessed to have worked in places where I haven't been exposed to many people who speak this way. I am surrounded by women, to be sure, but they are worried more about do

Completely agreed. A hundred years ago, this would have been some sort of local affect, but thanks to the internet, nationwide TV, radio, etc, today it's a plague.

Seriously? Of course it's still 42Floors. Just that half of them are vacant and searchable for rent on 42Floors.

What Dreams May Come - After dying in a car crash a man searches the afterlife for his wife. It's something I think back to when I find myself surrounded by fear of circumstance.

Agreed. I did a 6 week stint at a largish software company. When I saw what was going on there, I couldn't get out fast enough. That doesn't feature on my resume. I was 9 months at another job. That one I did put on my resume. Onl

I feel like you just didn't like their completely valid response and then went after them for it. They provide a service. You might think their service should cover some feature but the reality is that they don't. You could have p

How quickly can you reach out to the company to apologize? Were you having a bad day or do you fly off the handle on a regular basis?

Agreed. I am free to zoom around and scroll through as much as I want right now and makes it very easy for me to use the site. Just take a look at Craigslist to see how terrible it cn be to have no ability to view all content.

I guess I agree that people should know their worth and act accordingly. I am wondering if these people are undervaluing themselves or if there are other issues at work. Still, I am understanding of the curveballs that life throws you and w
