The approach was to serve a reasonable amount of food. But the intent was to force me to try new things when I was simply being a picky eater. If I didnt like a particular thing after two or three meals, fair enough. It wasn't meant to

Completely unrelated but since you are asking about teaching methods. My father did this regarding food. If eventually it turns out my sister and me didn't like a particular thing recipes were adjusted. But to make us kids at least try

The amount of effort to know what can be done with trademarks, copyrights etc makes it just easier to blatantly ignore it all. Because of the gaming of IP law, I have zero respect for it. I'll do whatever I want at this point. Legally

Social media has little value and hilariously enough dating apps are actually incredibly terrible with notifications. The average website or app though will annoy the fuck out you. Those have absolutely no need for implementing it. A notifi

Exactly, I am sick of websites asking me to enable notifications. Apps asking me to allow notifications. At the end of the day, rarely is the app worthy of that sort of interruption. I've absolutely never seen a website that can justif

Real estate agents are legally acting as a lawyer in a very specific scope in some states. They are considered to be one, again in a very narrow scope. And no Realtors/real estate agents in no way is anything close to an mlm. They work

How so? You leave, they stop paying you. Any funds for retirement is your account. You leave the country and renounce citizenship, you no longer get the benefits of citizenship which includes social security. That seems pretty fair. And yes

I will never do consulting again for a former employee unless I get paid upfront. A previous employer "adjusted" an incredibly reasonable bill. Then two months later their nginx server goes down and he calls me in a panic. I requi

The poster literally said they were going to intentionally say things that they know are false. That's pretty much the definition of a liar and outright deceptive. Besides that, the tactic of trying to be debative and in this case outr

Lying to a candidate immediately sets a pretty bad image of the company. While someone might try to put things in the best light as possible, maybe with some small exaggeration. That is a huge difference between "I am lying to you&quot

Obviously the person has to have a clue what they are doing. But I would never expect them to have the details memorized. "I'd look at the docs and stack overflow" is a valid answer. As long as they had the thought process es

That's just a new spin on a trick question and is quite frankly bullshit. You are right away telling the person you are going to be deceptive and they need to catch your lie. It's a terrible tactic.

I understand. But typically some one out of college or took a boot camp even needs that amount of time so many are in their 30s. The 50 year is a rarer case.

Very few are working a full 40 hours let alone 80. Browsing YouTube and Facebook, chatting with coworkers is usually not working.

I don't discriminate on age but realistically someone is not senior until they have 10 years experience. That generally puts them in their 30s. The younger ones can overwork themselves, job hop, write bad code. And then an experienced

If a developer is relying only on the product manager without first hand experience. It's a recipe for failure. I am a huge promoter of making devs do CSR, hell even make them do sales calls on occasion. The insight to the end user pai

Ideally every developer should have to spend a significant amount of time actually interacting with their customer, and in this case the customers customer. It would give a different perspective about that feature that is being built. It so

They might as well announce Yahoo will be retired. There is nothing left at this point.

There seems to be a lot of elitism. Most coding is nothing special or particularly hard. Within a short period of time most people could get up to speed to fill a lot of the roles. You don't even need a college degree of any kind. Seni

The manager isn't doing their job if they depend on slack updates. And if they don't already know what you are working on, they are not a manager. Teammates are usually not hiding info, if they the manager has completely failed an

I have never seen that in action. The seniors don't care, don't read the status updates, are not listening to actual stand-ups. We just pretend to. When something needs to be communicated or worked out with team members efficientl

Am I the only one that thinks stand-ups are pretty much worthless? We have two versions, in person once a week. Then a daily slack version. Recently I asked in a real stand-up "does anyone actually read them", 2 out of 25 hands we

I remember having that. I loved SimCity on the desktop but honestly the NES version was a complete piece of shit. I don't comprehend why any would want to save it. It had an incredibly poor interface, terrible controls for that sort of

So what? You make a new account and who gives a crap about the tos? It's a bunch of words no one reads and can be outright ignored. Tos is meaningless. You can break it. There is pretty much never going to be any real consequence for d
