That may be and it could just be coincidence or location or whatever. Don't get me wrong, though, I have definitely interviewed highly (well, supposedly) experienced software engineers who, when faced with actually writing and reading

I've seen this counter-point come up so many times. It's true, some times people might lie and be good at talking. Amongst programmers, though, that is simply not true, at least to the point of being frequent enough that we need t

If you want to know what happened, who was involved, watch for various high-profile exists from Zillow over the next little while (and including, but not only, the higher-level layoffs that will be included in the short-term 25% workforce r

While progress in this field has been slow, it's worth saying that if this technology continues to proceed towards success, this is not just a life-saver but a game-changer for humanity.

I agree. However, not putting 20% does typically result in less-than-the-best interest rate as well as PMI, thus adding more to your monthly costs. Also, less than 20% also results in a larger mortgage payment regardless than compared to pu

As someone who has been remote, hybrid remote, and almost every other version distributed teams and remote/asynchronous working over the past 13 years, I assure you there was and still is a remote working trend well before COVID. COVID

Yes, the medallion crash.... because medallions were a political "tool" which controlled supply, making them artificially way more valuable than they otherwise should have been.

This is why sometimes you end up with BOTH a traditional ETL data warehouse, for common, structured reporting and analytics and also an unstructured data lake(s) that pull raw data in from many sources to allow for ad-hoc exploration. But l

It's funny, I view buying a truck for the machismo as one of the primary emotions/feelings/identity actually means buying it for whatever the opposite of machismo is.

Whether or not TCE is responsible for these outcomes related to Parkinson's, certainly TCE is a well-known toxin. One famous case related to TCE was Anderson v. Cryovac Inc. which had to do with contaminated groundwater in Woburn, Mass

For sure, for very small companies or small/junior teams who have a line manager. This also doesn't quite acknowledge that even if you can do all of those functions [in a small business or one-person company] it does not mean yo

This ... it is a total fantasy to think that the leader(s) of a company are somehow aware of all of the work that is entailed by every job in the company. For really small companies, or junior employees with a line manager, that may be true

As with many things in life, if it didn't work, they wouldn't do it. So to answer your question, yes, it probably does reduce churn, if only slightly. Is there an occasional person who goes to try and cancel, runs into this byzant

I am with you. I think the actual use case for a casual gamer is absolutely there, running and playing decent games from many different devices, without having to invest in and own a more expensive PC equipped with higher end internals (gra

Eh... yes and no. There is the convenience and comfort of one's own home. Plus, of course, for a single $20 payment you could have several family members and friends participate in the viewing experience. On top of that, of course, you

This looks really good and I can tell a lot of work went into this. Bravo. Although this does not yet have the same sort of real-time push syncing (or subscriptions) the way Firestore (or Firebase) both have, it looks like it has the right

All salaries should be public record? I get your point and why this argument is made but personally, no thanks. I don't want my personal financial information or income information to be shared with just anyone. No thanks.

I would agree and what's especially bad about it is that these changes complicate what was what made Uber so special. You could quite literally press a button to summon a ride and it would show up, you'd get in, and they'd ta

We're already "scored" all the time ... all types of insurance, mortgages, credit ratings, past criminal record, and so on. Now, we may wish to control the use of data being used on us or against us, and I support that, but t

Definitely agree with these points. You left out some of the more individual ones where personality and preferences come into play. I think that a lot of variability will come down to preferences. Also, it's worth noting that for many

I disagree here. I think the comment by Silhouette is still very applicable and the context is within the realm of more senior folks. Understanding how to efficiently organize a database and doing the necessary work on a front-end web app t
