My opinion as an employer: Sure, feel free to take your work hours as you like and WFH every once in a while. Just make sure that overall your total hours are what we agreed to in the employment contract.

You start interviewing and you see that none of the above happens 99% of the time. You wasted 2 years learning a bunch of stuff when you really should have been interviewing six months after writing your first line of code. I agree with t

Being an infinite company is an idea that my friend, author Simon Sinek, has been discussing with me. Simon explained that a company’s purpose is to advance its vision, and since a vision is a mountaintop you never quite get to, you should

Actually I find Sourcetree one of the worst git GUIs out there. There are just so many bugs and kinks and glitches in it that I avoid it if possible. I do like the Gitx-dev fork by Rowanj [1]. Clean and simple. Unfortunately just for Mac OS

Which makes it likely that there is some kind of deal in the background between Schmidt and VW. After all his inside knowledge of the subject matter would be a very powerful weapon for the prosecutors and very dangerous for VW.
