Is it hard finding staff that have sufficient technical knowledge? It feels like the recruitment industry in general is very cut throat and has high turnover. And in an industry that has a shortage of skilled people to begin with, that's pr

Your posts are great. Keep up the good work :) I work in a startup and have been fielding a lot of recruiter calls. Like many other startups, recruitment costs are simply not something we can afford with our tight budget. One tactic I found

"and don't get caught up in doing things the "Microsoft" way" agreed. I've been an ms dev for a while but over the last couple years have branched out into python. Since then, I've really started to hate writing "best practice" code in .ne

Google is a pretty large and technically savvy advertising company that does search and a bunch of other things. If energy costs are eating into their bottom line and they have the cash, why shouldn't they invest into new energy tech. Seem
