If you like that movie you must read through to the very last sentence of the post. It's a terrible pun? Joke? Reference? Whatever it is, it's funny and a great end to a nifty bit of analysis.

Yes, definitely! I should have said: That's a very professional process, and it should also be an inspirational process. Just because a lot of software development is haphazard doesn't mean that it has to be! Who cares if you us

This quote is the big takeaway for me: "We use Macs to drive these robots, with control software that was written in Objective-C. We made the decision to rewrite this software in Swift late last year, but only after a careful survey o

I read it, and look forward to more! I signed up for a tech-heavy game-ish thing, so I expect (and welcome!) tech-heavy content.

It'll come around as an email client again. I hope. I think I used it from 1995(?) until 2002??? Ah, nostalgia.

And they removed it. Annoying to have to mess with them in the first place, but at least they were responsive.

I just tried emailing their support@jobsy.com address and asking them to please remove their scraped iRobot jobs. We'll see if anything happens.

Can you get a job as a mechanical engineer somewhere that would allow you to move into programming at the same company? I ask because it's probably easier for you to get a job as an ME (mechanical engineer) than a software engineer, gi

Do you have a written & signed offer letter? Or is it all verbal/over-the-phone? If it's not in writing & signed, then it's not real. And as many others are saying, it's a HUGE red flag that the company said they

I wonder why we talk about 10x or elite or rock star programmers in the first place. Do we ourselves want to be 10x developers? Or do we want to hire 10x developers? Or do we want to work with 10x developers? Or do we want to figure

+1 for your last point - scaling your abilities (even if they're not elite) beyond just yourself makes you elite. (assuming you're a net positive producer, I suppose)
