Author of the article here. Moving onto a "tinier" screen forces me to focus as well. I need the vertical 1080p screen mainly for looking at CVs or console outputs.

Author of the article here. For instance, text in tabs in Chrome isn't not scalable, also many mac os apps (e.g., Textexpander) aren't scalable because they are not optimised for it. Should have made it more clear in the article.

"Significantly, planning cases were based on speculative logic – not actual demand" The same happened now in some parts of Switzerland with residential buildings. In some areas, rents are dropping because there are too many buildi

I tried something similar with "rejected.dev" ( https://coderfit.com/rejected-dev ) but no one was interested. There is some kind of stigma attached to being rejected, it seems. If another firms throws you out, even

Unions in Switzerland are not very common compared to France or Germany.

Yes, the best options is to get a warm introduction through a programmer who already works at the firm. If you don't know anyone working there, try to network online first via twitter or email, compliment them on their blog on a topic

The UK recruiters are probably the most aggressive ones. There are many of these agencies in the UK that "headhunt" on Swiss ground through some intermediary. I worked 3 years as a programmer and now I help SMEs and startups with

Me too. I think rankings aren't that important in Europe and people tend to get jobs based on other things here.

"Surprisingly, the startup has never been sued." Ok, why should it be sued?

Here in Zürich, Domino's is selling $6 pizzas over lunch. Other lunches cost >$15. A person hour is ~$25, so maybe it doesn't pay anymore.

The difference to the rest of Europe became even bigger over the last 12 years. I am a self employed tech recruiter here in Zurich and I can say that more and more people want to come here. Taxes are low, salaries high and things costs less

Most programmers invest a lot of time in coding and related activities (learn the newest framework) but this thread is again a proof that most neglect all other aspects of their career (e.g., regular salary negotiations). I worked as a prog

I know people who live fine with two kids on one phd salary (60k / year) or so. 120k CHF is definately enough to support a family. On 100k CHF you get already >7k CHF net, an apartment costs 2k - 2.5k if it is not in the city center
