So have you ever tried what the articles suggest? Ever spent a week working on the 'shop floor'? In my experience of public sector software projects, the programmers seem to be kept as far away from the end users as possible.

This is an attitude that employers work hard to cultivate. I don't think it's healthy for workers to 'work his ass off' for a company that isn't willing to reward those efforts. It's a weakness and employers will take advantage.

Totally agree. But then the question becomes, what do you do when countries actually increase spending and debt when the economy is good, and therefore have nothing to spend when the bad times arrive. The main distinction between Iceland an

One concern may be how easy would it be for a small restaurant to do this? Large chains with highly standardised processes probably have this information to hand. But for small restaurants, even if they analysed every meal before putting it

I'd like to see these diagrams extended to coding languages. My touch typing is okay when writing, but I have to glance down to find any symbols and quickly lose my flow. That's probably a big reason I like Python.

America already has multiple currencies[1] without it being a problem. This guys has been convicted of counterfeiting legal tender. Why would anyone take a gold coin worth $10 say, and try to pass it off as a normal dollar? They are losing

The poll doesn't tell us much (breakdown by location and project size would be helpful). But I'm still surprised at the number of sub $1000 dollar websites that are being built. These developers must be cranking out a site a week.

It's not bullshit. The government are effectively outsourcing education to private companies. That's always going to result in rent-seeking on the part of the private companies. And it's not the same as free market/full privatisation, where

Totally agree. I'll happily spend more if I know I'm getting something that is better quality. But figuring out whether those £150 hiking boots are any better than the £30 ones (to use a recent personal example) is very difficult. It genera
