   I think your points dont sound quite right. * Yes there were lots of new schools in the suburbs but does that make education better? Were men better teachers than women of today? * Ivy league were much easier to get in if you had the right

   The working couple makes a big difference. If you have the traditional stay-at-home wife a family can much more easily move with a job or for a new job. With two jobs involved its nearly impossible. Also a reason why so many people want to

   I can't think why I'd want to keep an email account from my old university. Is that really a thing?

    There are real recent "Hot" cases that dont have resources to solve. No need to use resources on old ones that are more difficult.

    Anyone hired some offshore outsourcing people at a super cheap rate that are slow and mostly useless but cheap and act as a first line barrier? Something like Dell support line. I hate dealing with those people but realize a cheap product w

    Yeah if you're a SRE or admin good luck. I think some companies are much better at looking after you than others so make sure you find somewhere good. I think it made me a better developer because I've seen a lot of what can go wr

    I've done the path from SWE to SRE and back to SWE. I was always happy to do production support and diagnose and fix production problems, so I naturally moved to SRE which is always looking for people. It was a real mistake, SRE is hug

    It worked great on an ipad but on a TV app I had to go click, click, click, click 40 times to get to the channel I wanted.

    I had youtube TV for a while and the most annoying thing is that there were no channel numbers.

    China imports nearly all its oil and most of its oil comes from the middle East. This means solar/wind/coal is preferable because it can be created locally. Oil can easily be stopped with a Naval blockade by either of USA/Ind

    I've tried selling products to developers and its really tough because everyone out there expects it for free. I suspect the only way to make it work is to make it free for a while until it gets enough adoption then you can license for

    I agree with this attitude as it was in the country I grew up in. However in the US often internships are the path to graduate jobs which is a much easier way into the highest paying jobs. The other thing is time, sure you can try something

    Thanks for this. I think the same but I never went to grad school so I'm wary it might be the last step instead of the penultimate one. Its hard to get out of the Ivy mania as well.
