I would suggest that outside of London the salaries are massively different. Though £15k is still almost-criminally low regardless of where you are. I'd expect someone with 3 years web dev experience to be anywhere from mid-20's to mid-30's

£42k after 3 years? Where are you working - London? That makes rather a large difference, as I'd be shocked if someone was getting that after 3 years for web dev here in Manchester.

Perhaps he believed that platitudes wouldn't have helped, but that giving the permission was enough (as it so obviously was for this person). I couldn't imagine it was a particularly easy request to receive and he could have just ignored it

Agreed. I'm a big Google Reader user, and will inevitably be trying out Feedly, but just haven't had the chance yet. Judging by the amount of people I've spoken too over the last few days, there's a whole lot more than 500,000 of us. I'd lo

Agreed. I'm finding the iOS version of iA Writer doesn't like it when I modify the file elsewhere - I have to manually switch files for it to detect the change.

My concern is simply that trying to be the de-facto app means you'll never really get the traction you need to become successful. I hate to invoke Facebook here, but even they started with a very limited market. Once there was enough demand

I worry that you're trying to be everything to everyone. Just because your backend can handle anything type of "shout", have you considered effectively turning it into a white label, and creating dedicated "sport" brand, etc. If you manage

I recently met, and had the opportunity to speak to, an old family friend who has been blind for many years. He's had several guide dogs, and I was hearing for the first time what they actually do (they're far more incredible than I had i

Absolutely this. I had an XDA II, then an XDA Mini S pretty much from launch (rebranded HTC phones on O2-UK), but as a student simply couldn't afford the data plans to go with them. The iPhone (and really, the iPhone 3G for me) is when pric

I thought that statement taken out of context sounded a bit arrogant (though perhaps well deserved!). However, when read in context it really didn't come across like that at all. Perhaps a title change in this case wouldn't be all that bad.

Obviously if you're working with massive datasets or many many VM's this may not be true, but everyone I know who has 16GB RAM has claimed that it's more than enough. I've got 8GB, and haven't any complaints. I even know people with 32GB wh

Give these guys a break and work with them one on one to find a solution to your problems. In the article it sounds like instead of them trying to work one-on-one to fix the problems, they just outsourced it to a digital removal f

The biggest risk here would surely be that around PID (Patient Identifiable Data). Who is responsible for ensuring the safety of this data? As it is right now, it's ultimately the trusts themselves (as is my understanding), but what safegua

The worst are when you spot a bug that means the functionality should never have worked in the first place, yet somehow has been working fine in production for years. I really rather hate those ones.

The problem here for me is not so much that MS found an image they didn't like and then over-reacted (which I rather think they did). It's that they have obviously written tooling specifically with the purpose of finding these things, and t
