I think these kind of articles tend to have a fair amount of truth to them, but a lot of the anxiety etc is caused by the all out denigration of remote workers. People being constantly undermined tend to be anxious about it! Remote work has

They've delivered Goodheart's law in action - there is so little room to survive in a classroom today in England today as these same metrics are the measure of successful teaching. Teachers are left with no option but to teach to

Context is key here, but as a thought experiment- the most profitable businesses can hire with effectively no limit if they choose. FAANG isn't a great proxy for that but it'll do - assume their hiring bar is "can produce exc

I know it's not the point the author is trying to make, but I couldn't help get the feeling this example isn't good enough to carry the point. from stdlib: from urllib.parse import urlparse, parse_qsl url = 'https

Well there's not a great deal going on in somewhere like the middle of the Forest of Dean as far as software engineering challenges go - you do tend to have to go where businesses are solving problems.. even in a more remote culture th

My Dad died after a long and difficult fight with prostate cancer that advanced to untreatable Stage 4 very quickly because of an underlying BRCA2 mutation. I'm so thankful the NHS tested him for this, and then tested my brother and I

I empathize after two years in UK education. The working culture is almost cult like and self reinforcing - the Peter principle in action turns the best teachers at reinforcing the status quo into headteachers. Unions are really powerful i
