I suppose it depends on your career goals. Myself I love development. I love all SW development. I would find a career in COBOL too stagnate. If your goal is a career of steady paycheck. If you are happy doing mostly maintenance work. T

Quit job, loaded up bicycle, road up the East Coast of USA, 6 weeks, not a fast rider, but I enjoyed it a LOT. Casually worked my way back, taking buses to get to places of interest. Got back. Total time gone 4 months, ready to get back in

It is harder today then it used to be. There are way too many trades today. Although I consider myself a Jack of Many trades, there are too many, and the number keeps growing.

First I try to wipe them, then I remove the processing card, or severely damage it. Then I take them too the dump, they have an electronics bin. If I was worried about the data falling into the wrong hands, i.e. I had a lot of money, I wou

Sadly almost never. It took me way to long to realize my bosses never gave a d*mn about my career. They cared about what I could do to help drive their career. I do not blame them, I blame myself for not figuring it out, and for being a s

Never thought of doing that. Usually for articles I do not read the comments at all. And I only look at the article if I have a STRONG interest. But NOW I have a new tactic, thanks.

to my understanding the left side breaks down as follows: (char )hash_ptr.parm.v.p, the char means to interpret the 'hash_ptr.parm.v.p as a pointer to an 8 bit character. The -- before it says to decrement the pointer by one, the val

I have tried several things, and have given up on a lot as they seemed more work than they were worth. Although it has been about 8 years since I looked into it, maybe I should again. Spreadsheets 1) Current accounts - Charge Cards, Rent d

I disagree. A 1.5 would not bother me, a 1.125 or 1.25 would. At that point re do your format / font / margins / spacing SOMETHING to make it 1.5 or 1.

With a 'wind fall' 1 million dollars, I would take about 20% and plan to squander it. Vacations, car, cloths. I would put 80% in something with a time lock of about a year. Something with a penalty for early withdraw. This woul

You should have a discussion with boss or HR. Also talk with others to see their experience. I have worked at one company that gave annual bonuses, depending on company performance. Your bonus might be automatic after X months, because the

Information that is mathematically complete. I do not like when they choose to present numbers with the intent of convincing you of their point of view. E.g. the number of oil wells in city xyzzy has gone up 100%. (it went from one to tw

Yes - When you are hiring, you usually have a specific problem you want addressed. Most places, these days, do not hire with the idea, Hey lets get a bright person and send them to training for 6 months. Risk is, and I have seen it happen

PDP-11 Assembly language is just beautiful, well compared to most other assembly languages. I highly recommend it if you are trying to learn the concept of doing assembly language as a 'trainer' language. Not practical these day

I occasionally have neck issues. I assume it is bad posture. I do some simple exercises for a few days and it goes away for a few months. Tilt forward and back, 10 times, left to right. Then head rolls.

IMHO the biggest problem is the recruiters do not understand tech enough. If they did then they would not be recruiters, they would be techies. How to fix? One of the big problems, and others have mentioned it. Employers with unrealistic

Since a resume is NOT a confessional, you can leave it off. If the application asks you to list all jobs ... that's different. I would make sure you can talk about why you left, i.e. 'it was a toxic environment, and for my safet

Short answer: Yes, definitely. Long answer: Depends on your situation and your goals. I was like you in that I had 2 years of programming when I decided to go to university (CS degree). At that time, no one would hire a kid who claimed he

I like 'Sherlock' by Everett Kaser. It is the classic, a cat lives next to the blue house, a dog rides a bicycle, Who likes french fries. Immensely configurable, I play with 6 x 6. If you get stuck it has a nice hint button.
