As far as I understand the PIP means the company wants to fire you. They just want to do this to mitigate liabilities and you suing them. My country most developers are freelance contractors as we don't like to work as employees. Durin

Quite creepy that part. Actually by doing that he annihilated any sympathy I had for him doing this in the first place.

Sometimes I just have a feeling it's about language. I see it a lot in the software community (and Agile). You should say it that way because the other way is too (passive) aggressive or not PC. SE is a worldwide profession and the int

So many questions on this article. That don't get answers. 1/ If they claim they will find you. How many suspicious claims are there? How many get found? Would have loved some statistics going with the juicy anecdotes. 2/ If

Love the German autobahn. Did regular trips to Munich which was about 600km in like 3 to 4 hours. Just foot down and see the fuel gauge move, because if the car was flat out I burned almost 30l of fuel per 100km.

I mostly don't think about it too much. If I have a piece of code that seems slow I make it less complicated and mostly look up the big-O. Reason is that I only had a few time in my 20 year career that I really had issues with this.

All your banking transactions run over old mainframes using COBOL. Probably on systems maintained for 20 years. They will not even be replaced as most already have tried this and not succeeded. I know of companies training COBOL developers

As an ex Agile Coach (currently back doing real work as tech lead) I used twitter a lot. Could learn from people in my bubble and maybe teach other. For the moment not working Agile anymore as most of the people I met on conferences and on

In Belgium the payment processor crashes every year around X-mas. Can't use your card in the shop doing X-mas shopping, no cash from the ATM. Fun times and every year in the news :)

This is so funny. Because this was how teacher disciplined us in high school. We had to copy a document for several times by next day where it got shredded in front of our eyes.

What strikes me most is that there is a need for benefactors to make sure people can get a proper education. Locking education for people with a disadvantage in life which is not their own doing is baffling for me. Especially in a developed

Actually weird differences in culture. I'm from Belgium and this is a contracting environment. You just hire engineers on contracting basis. Easy to fire them if they're not doing a good job. The reason why we like it is because i

"Sometimes, Therrien would make a small payment on the fake debt" Can't do that in my country because that's admitting the debt was right. Also, debt collectors can't overreach like that here. Need to go to court to

Quite weird that background check. We have something like that in Belgium but no employer ever asks for it. They actually never even asked to provide proof of my degree. Only exception government jobs....

Actually, my girlfriend is the same. She tried working as an employee and even self-employed. But finally, she's happy being a housewife. My mother and even friends frown upon me. Like I push her to be a housewife. Actually, I supporte

Probably due to FACTA. Not many banks in Europe want to deal with this. So most of them refuse American citizens as customer. As revolut uses a traditional bank their bank probably doesn't want to deal with it.

Well I'm 40 year old and understand that you question why use a DO instance for a static site. But I would think why not put it AWS s3 or GH-pages. Nothing special needed and they serve static pages for you.

What a choice of words. Being old should is not the cause of being swindled. Maybe inexperienced which is aggravated by being old as you should have more experience. Bit the same for quick thinking. Learned quick thinking many times result

I work on projects not on jobs. Meaning I develop something bring it life and handover to operations. This means I work on projects taking 3 months to 3 years. It all depends. I don't care about jobs. I just like to build things. 99% o

Fatca is one of the reasons American nationals can't open a bank account in my country of nationality (Belgium). Banks just can't be bothered to implement and pay the costs for this.
