   While maybe your boss could've used some more empathy, there are many good learnings here that I struggle myself with: - communicate your progress more often. The status of the project should never be a surprise, especially when things

   I believe there were no takers because 100$ for such a setup is completely out of market. I wouldn't be surprised if a freelancer would charge 100$ per hour to do this kind of work spanning multiple work days.

   We used XMPP to orchestrate servers and runtimes at one of my previous employers. I might be romanticizing it in my memory a bit, but I remember it fondly. We would run ejabberd servers and could easily know which nodes were up and talk&#x2

    A bit OT, but I think the wine comparison goes in exactly the opposite direction. Some people will never like wine or alcohol no matter how much they search: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/09/14092

    Is this a job board for conservative developers? It's becoming exhausting being a non-US netizen. It takes effort to constantly be vigilant and switch context and detect US political double speak. I am really not sure I am doing this r

    We will probably look back at this time as the golden age of information technology. Monopolistic phenomena are emerging everywhere. Things are going to change[1]. There's no real way to demonstrate that a few larger players are better

    anecdotally, I can confirm this happening in a few companies I know... I left my job at the beginning of 2020 to work for myself. A lot of ex-colleagues took a similar path. I guess the "focus on the mission" companies are trying

    Italian sources[1] say that the right of the Auguet Barons is 30% of the sale price of a house in the oldest part of the village. This is very different from what the SMH article says. [1] https://www.iltempo.it/attualita&#x2
