The best case from all this shenanigans is that it puts the spotlight on class warfare. Excessively wealthy people are becoming more and more flagrant in how they treat the rest of society and continually testing the boundaries of what they

How does an initiative like the 4 Day Week UK get funded? They describe themselves as UK's national campaign for four-day working week and seem to be spending quite some money advertising this in the UK. Who are the people with money w

This is fantastic news for a country that can't manufacture like a decent office chair. Hopefully such high-tech endeavours will create a ripple effect across industries and boost local manufacturing in various sectors. More and more c

As someone who detests the prevalence of the automation engineer role in the industry, I find the idea of an IDE for automation even more loathsome. Notwithstanding the fact that developers ought to write tests, tests are also code written

Two years is a long time, even more so for a startup. In a 25 people team there's not much room for two heads and such situations are rarely comfortable. If the CEO acknowledges but hasn't done anything about it, maybe they are sh

Tax on advertising is a very interesting idea. Everyone understands that is a necessary evil and most parties would rather not do it given the chance. But how do you classify what advertising is? Buying adspace on a website or billboard mig
