This is a narrow view. The fortune 500 provides no insight into the level of interest each economy holds in the major companies of other nations. Spoiler: the US owns a fucktonne of the world's capital gains

I don't understand why they don't just improve working conditions. Why don't they improve compensation and make it more human for the humans involved? It's not going to make their business less scalable. It's just g

Superb. This analysis shows that you are not only able to process data, but that you will creatively find opportunities to make data useful, in ways which other folks in whichever company you end up in may not even think to ask for. If peop

Your team appears to lack diversity with regards to age, and your conclusion makes it sound like that was almost a goal. Older engineers can offer a lot of wisdom and save a lot of wasted effort

What is the difference between the genes identifies as "extra-species sourced" and those which are a nominal part of homo sapiens DNA? How do we know they don't originate from intra-species mutation, for example?

Breaking this cycle of blocker-blocker-blockers is what makes me actually like Adblock Plus's "Acceptable Ad" options. It provides a counter-offer, rather than just "No.", whereby advertisers can feed you unambiguou

And the thing is, the question of whether to negotiate only comes up if you find yourself in the 1% who get to that stage. It's very expensive for a company to find that 1%, and once they have they don't want to go back to the dra

What terrible advice. Everyday engineers with a mite of talent have plenty of leverage and should always negotiate. Retaining staff is cost efficient, and real talent is harder to come by than seat fillers.

Thanks for sharing this classical perspective. When I'm kicking off a system for a complex organisation, I start by focusing on what processes/changes occur in the organisation. I find that users can intuitively reason about what

I'm with Julio on this one. The triangle ought to be a diamond, with the integration tests being the fattest part. This is a level where tests can be at the component level, where they can correspond to specifications which are compreh
