if you are expecting a DEvOps guy to know C#/Java/C++ and all the Jenkins/sys/k8s/cloud stuff, you want a unicorn. That person is also definitely not going to put up with a 4hr test. If you want a senior DevOps pers

Trying to time a market always fails, and a first house isn't really an investment in the traditional sense. It's always the best time to buy first home, from a market perspective. The big factor is picking somewhere you plan to l

The prices not being public is a problem, but really the big issue is the indirection in payments. No one really knows how much is getting paid to an insurance company for their insurance, and no one really knows how much an insurance compa

A lot of the decline is down to poor incentives. Failure is often seen as a reason to ask for more money rather than stopping a program. In many ways actual success is disincentivised. If a contractor delivers on time and on budget, then th
