Canary Wharf is absolutely soulless but it's neither dead or frightening. It will almost certainly be the safest place to live in central London due to the fact that it's private land and you can be expelled from it permanently an

Dave Farley is a good guy and the real deal not just a talking head - I worked with him at LMAX which is where he was working when he was writing the Continuous Delivery book and that place had agility and the highest standards of engineeri

Yes, but the problem is that the organisations will only listen to McKinsey and they have a motivation to not solve the problem but to merely adapt it and bill the client again. Agile is one of the few significant shifts in business where t

Not sure why anyone would want to buy Disney with regards to it's media arm to be honest - the IP has been flogged to death recently and most recent iterations aren't earning the big numbers. I think Amazon could probably utilise

Yeh this paper is something else - I've never seen one written using a tone like this before. My ex-GF was textbook BPD. Finding the survivor resources was so helpful - people who have never experienced someone who has BPD simply find

It's not a straightforward question. 40-year old VBA developer? That's a tough one. 40-year old C++ developer who loves learning? Don't give up hope and maybe look at Rust. The future for 40-year old developers is to recognis

I was shown this at school aged 9 in 1984. I remembered it being grim. I decided to rewatch it last year and it's the bleakest thing I've ever seen in my entire life (and I've seen Salo) and in no way suitable to be shown to

I've found the people that publicly speak the most about the importance of it inside their organisations end up being the ones who live it the least. You can only live by its principles and inform others of them too and hope that they

The use of photos at the top shows crazy bias painting Musk as a 1920's era style business monopolist who is clearly out of touch with regular people and the Bellingcat guy as a regular person. Not sure if I trust the article after tha

Morbid fields will always exist and pay well. If you have a family already then getting into the funeral director industry is safe, well-paid and will be around forever. The people who pick up corpse parts on train tracks are paid very well

The main issue is that the people behind TV have huge disrespect for their lowly viewers, and we, as viewers are starting to lose trust and faith in their decision making and so we're doing the sensible thing and waiting. What's n
