These and some other trends are originated in Agile methodologies, are they not? Software engineering is being taken over by pseudo scientific ideology is what it is. Funny thing is, no proof/studies are needed to make sweeping changes

I think hiring people with right attitude is the only solution. You can try to create a strong culture around them, but it's like taking a horse to water. The drinking part can't be forced. I am not saying right incentives and goo

In ideal world, your technical argument would be enough for higher-ups to take your concerns seriously. In real world, it's mostly how much they like and trust you. If they don't, then validity of your argument will be of no value

I have many friends who work for Sears corporate. Listening to them, it seemed like Lampert bet his company on his libertarian ideology. Turned out Ayn Randian ideology doesn't work in real life.

Never said it's impossible. Is it practical though? If you are migrating to a country 8000 miles away, would you live like you lived in the slums of Dharavi? Some will. Most though, would like to live a normal life commensurate with th

I am one of those and almost everyone ( with exception of one or two every class) in my masters programs we're on F1 Visa. Most of my friends work six figure jobs in cities nowhere close to as expensive as Bay area. I know for a fact,

> Reading some opinions you feel like for low-latency a GC language is a no-go. Maybe you care to comment on that. This is false as far as my experience goes. I've personally worked at two exchanges (big ones) and they do use java.

Take it easy. Work Is not your baby. Don't attach emotions to work. Do all you can for 8 hours and then forget the moment you get out of the door. Don't respond to emails from home. Don't carry work phone unless you must. Inv

Well I don't even know what a cto does. I have been in many meetings with them, but besides making high level decisions and asking for status, I don't know what they do. Besides I was born in poverty and needed lot of efforts to b

Never understood people's infatuation with reading CEO biographies. I've read a few and never found anything in it that could relate to. May be I am not meant to be one of those people. Even if I worked hard, got in at work at 5 a
