Requiring a Computer Science/Software Engineering degree for a non programming job is a little weird. The point is coding skills are not required to do the job. Sure it would be nice but if somebody ticks all the other boxes then bei

I always find it strange when a politician or businessman is expected to recall details of a meeting from months or years ago. Do average people recall the details from each of the 500 meetings they had last year?

If you look at the cover of the magazine[1] about 50% of them are not actual photos of real life. eg 18 May 2023[2] "The cover shows an artist’s impression of two male mammoths fighting" or 20 April 2023[3] which shows the DART sp

Largely agree with the author's viewpoint. Compared to the Web and Web forums it was very hard for new people to pick up. Even for people who had mastered the software the lack of ability to get rid of bad people was a problem. One &qu

If you take PTO then you are supposed to tip 20% of your pay back to the person that is covering for you. Depending on the job some of the money might be shared with others. I understand that in some Bay Area companies the rate is now 25%

Not bad. Got some possible roles in the first couple of pages (enough that I actually clocked on the links). The ones that missed were reasonable too, at least as good as searching for keywords on my local jobs site. I'm Operations so

Depends a lot what sort of scale you are on too. Grafana Cloud will be cheaper than DD but is not quite as end-user friendly. Running it yourself is not too hard up if you are not having to do clustering ( say 1m metric series, 100GB/d

I went to the "original" site and the video doesn't see to be available for viewing. Whereas it is available on Aeon. Moving the link back to the creator's site will make user experience worse.
