I wonder what is more terrifying, knowing that the people in her industry are cancelling her, or knowing the extremely high likelihood that islamist fanatics might permanently cancel her?

Win, lose or draw, we Ukrainians will be hunting down russian war criminals for the next century, just like the Simon Wiesenthal center did. The animosity towards russians in Ukraine, and abroad is growing exponentially. Combine this with t

Elon Musk seems to be playing a great long-con on the American tax payer. $300m per launch, $16bn in hand-outs. https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/03/12/spacex-seeks-16-bi...

As a retired sysadmin with 30 years experience, I can tell you with a good amount of certainty that nobody will care if they aren't already sysadmins. It is viewed as entirely unimportant to understand these things, and the only thing

This makes me very sad, because in my 30 years I've seen so many of you burn out. I was like that for the first 15 years of my career until I watched a manager turn into a billionaire by abusing everybody who worked for him. My last 15

Cash rules everything around me is the only emotionally healthy attitude to take about your career. Every time I would be told "we're a family" by a potential employer, I added $25k to my minimum salary. If corporations are

If you aren't a 25 year old kid trying to win the startup lottery at a future unicorn, or getting fat at FAANG, then these jobs are great. They move slower, so their processes are often very well refined, the churn is low and the chang

It's not so bad. The stress at these places is far lower, the work load is realistic, and the salaries are pretty good, sometimes the base is higher than you'll make at FAANG because they can't entice people with stock. Wha

The next 5 years are going to be a blood bath for junior, mid-level and just average developers. Everybody I know who is not a rockstar is going back to train for a new career, often outside of technology. Those 12,000 employees are first i
