The degree of entitlement evidenced by this article is seriously distasteful. If private school from age 3 is part of a "minimum" lifestyle, exactly how does the author describe the lifestyle of all the kids who go to state school

Sure, I was comfortable on £24k just after graduating... but I was still living in a basement of a student house, making my own lunches, had no kids, rarely bought clothes, and never went on holiday.

The fact that we are in a tech bubble is in no doubt Yeah... no. It is in doubt, otherwise all the smart people who are still taking risks would stop. I don't pretend to know what the outcome is going to be, but from my perspec

Not sure if XMPP covers that, I'm guessing not, but you can export your message history as a dump of JSON files.

Yep, and Slack supports it, along with IRC.

In my view; product design & build quality. Yammer were already doing most of what Slack does. Tiny Speck took that and UX'd the shit out of it until it was a joy to use.

Yeah, I expect there are, maybe Gitter can leverage their OSS adoption to their advantage. I don't know their product or approach well enough to comment.

Yeah, there'll always be companies like that but as more and more large orgs, government departments, etc. migrate all their email over to Gmail, I'm starting to consider that as a niche. Those orgs are also disproportionately lik

Funny in what way? Not sure I see the point you're alluding to.

The error bars are massive. At the CV stage you might be a 6.2, but the error bars on whether you're a good hire might be +/- 5.8. As you progress you're not just filtering, you're also trying to reduce the massive degre

I can recommend Eric Berne's book "Games People Play", which covers transational analysis and shows how it builds up into lifestyle 'games' such as alcoholism, dysfunctional relationships, etc. Might be useful for o

I feel like if you work in a team of divas you don't need a test like this to tell you that. It kinda reminds me of that buzzfeed article "53 Signs Your Boyfriend Is Really Three Children In A Trenchcoat".

Sadly. In my view they're bikeshedding, hard.

If you believe Steven Pinker (and IIRC Jared Diamond) then hunter gatherers had a much higher chance of being brutally murdered. That'd probably be a down-side.

Sure, I was being flippant. That said, I think it's closer to the mark to put this on a minority than to paint it as being some characteristic element of the British psyche, as if there's even such a thing as the British psyche.
