Throw yourself in the deep end of the pool. As a technical co-founder, I had to attend an industry conference and man a booth. All fear evaporated by the end of it. You'll find that people are often looking to talk about their issues a

Don't work in your office for all of the obvious reasons. Go anywhere else. Try different coffee shops around your office or home neighborhood. I think that a coffee shop provides the right level of distraction for doing work when your

I use DDG on a daily basis. Out of ignorance, I haven’t used the bang switches, but I think I have been satisfied with the quality of the search results to the point where I very rarely go to google anymore. I am happy to have an alternativ

I had a couple of experiences like that when I worked at one company. The first was while writing an application that would automate away internal and vendor provided positions. I never did get over the feeling that the work was destroying

This is great news. Nim (and the team working on it) deserves much support and praise. It is a language that enables C/C++ programmers to be more productive and makes performant programming approachable for beginners as well.

I had a similar experience with my first interviews in a very long time. I had two phone screens and a long in-person interview. And nothing ever again after that. It left me with a very sour taste. I was told I was one of two candidates an

The right way is to position it as a learning opportunity. You ask if they have any reservations about your background. It gives you a chance to get some negative feedback and also gives you the opportunity to address their concerns.

I think you are OK to cancel at this point without fear of retribution. The tech industry is fairly large. You won't find doors locked to you. In fact, you did so well that your previous employer thought of you for another internship.

The first thing anyone who is not asleep at the wheel would ask is, “does this person really want to be named?”

This is the answer that I would give. Over time, my development has shifted to modeling the domain first, including simple APIs that use those domain models well before I intend to write a table. To answer the question as asked, I use pgadm

I ran a distributed team for the better part of three years. I think all of this advice is right on the mark. The one thing I would say is that everyone worked the clients hours, for the most part, with at least a 4 hour overlap. That meant

I used to listen to podcasts while working. I could only focus on one or the other, but not both. I listen to them now when I cook or do other non-work activities where I can let my mind wander a bit. At my latest position, I am the only on

So umm, it sounds like you made attempts to change the situation and there was no improvement forthcoming. Give notice of 2 weeks (3 weeks if you are really broken up about it) and move on with life. You are not paid well, don’t have enough

How would that work, exactly? I imagine you could extend the concept to anything that humans do in excess, which is just about everything. And then you would be monitoring every aspect of their lives for that point in time when they overind

Don't announce your departure. It is way more tactful to let your manager will do that at an appropriate time.

I would say that the feeling you are experiencing is your gut telling you something that you should listen to. Becoming a specialist in a specific technology can be lucrative and can be the focus of a long career, but the technology you pic

It could be that OP is not really doing a good job of explaining. Calling the coworker dumb is a red flag to me. I had an employee who seemed to have trouble receiving my guidance. In his case, there were several issues at play, his and min

I think my wife and I came to the conclusion at the same time. We were a little too infatuated with our cat and found that there was a growing vacuum in our lives that was appearing despite most other things being constant. It was the feeli

Thank you for finding that. It's hard to believe they haven't considered the potential issues that arise from this. Or they have considered the issues and found it financially viable to ignore them.

Older systems tend to have a lot of business logic built into them. Use the time you spend going through them to learn the business domain. Learning to understand why you write code is just as valuable as know how to write it. Tackle boring
