In the city I'm living in (Italy) buildings are old (and with 2 ft stone walls, on average) so that mobile phones can only rely on wifi when you are indoors. I think this may apply to any old (like several centuries old) city. I don&#x

(Europe / Tech) 1. HR is not tech-savy and most of the time does look for distinguished engineers at the price of an intern 2. Salary is always on the low side, and salary range is almost never included in the job posting 3. Companies

I have, multiple times but in the same company so let’s count as one. VBA is still a thing in banking/insurance and big consulting players are still selling VBA projects and/or XLLs in this world

I'm not willing to enforce one commit per issue, but one issue per commit. An issue may have, of course, multiple commits (by multiple people maybe) but I wouldn't allow any single commit without referring an issue.

Let's be frank, if salary figures are missing a job listing will always be red after those with a salary range. Then the description of tech stack and responsibilities.

Italy. Factually it is like that, the law was meant to protect against unfair dismissal but over the years it has become quite clear that if you work all the time you're meant to, and you don't intentionally harm the company (or i

The company I work for has been acquired by the same equity firm as Idera. This happened recently (it's public news, so I'm not giving away any secret). What should I expect, given I have a responsibility role and in my country yo

To me this is a big "no" because I'm not in such position to negotiate a deal with another company. All I can do is send proposals to our administration with a clearly stated fixed or recurring price, that's a pity but I

I think Java EE is a driver for Java in enterprises today. Easy management, easy deploy and widespread knowledge. Almost any IT knows what to do if you give them an EAR/WAR. Huge, enormous ecosystem - and plenty of developers ranging f

Going with Rust too, while most of my company is starting to embrace Go. I feel like the weird guy, but having a strong Java/C# experience I think Rust complements my knowledge. Learning by book (O'Reilly) and by nano projects &#x

When I was hired they put me to work on XLST. It was 2014! So I'm really happy I'm not doing that anymore.

We write requirements on behalf of our customers after the project has been developed because everything must change daily. This is, afaik, the modus operandi for most baking/insurance customers :)

I discovered this tool last week and suddenly fell in love with it. Is it possible to bind it to a hotkey like spotlight? However if it where to fuzzy match like sublime’s super+p I would love it even more.

With 5 years of experience in (northern) Italy there are plenty of job offers in the 35-40k range, which I think is roughly equivalent to 60+k in Germany, maybe 70ish. Note that I don't live in Germany so my numbers may be wrong, in th
