Transparency is first and foremost in my mind. The current company I'm at shares the summaries of every board meeting. That may be overkill, but really the company should be sharing on a regular basis how the company is doing, if any s

If you're doing the hiring, then what you're looking for in a 3rd-party recruiter is really one thing: can they provide qualified candidates to you without you needing to do much work or hand holding. They should be doing basic fi

I've had some good luck with third-party recruiters. There are some truly excellent recruiters, often running their own boutique firms, but the quality definitely varies and frankly a good number of firms do feel like a used car shop.

There are some certifications that do appear to provide real value: the Red Hat certifications and the PMP certifications come to mind. I've also heard that the Microsoft certifications provide value as well. These are typically certif

I think the parent was talking less about the differences between programming languages and more about the differences between a programmer working at an early stage startup and a programmer working at a large enterprise company. They are

Congratulations to the OpenBSD team! How crazy is it that the BSDs were not given notice about the Meltdown/Spectre bugs? Especially considering the strong security focus of several of these variants

I always find that WeWork has a very weird vibe. It has all of these companies but nobody talks to each other. It feels oddly sterile. When I worked out of General Assembly, the big benefit was that these companies would talk to each other,

Help build "on-ramps" for the under-privileged. If you live near under-privileged communities try to set up paid internships that will actually help to teach these kids and help them, build a professional network. Get in front of

I'll note that OWASP ZAP scans don't appear to be picking up on this vulnerability :(

Not tech related, but I had a history teacher in high school with a stammer. He lectured/led discussions even though he had a stammer and was probably the favorite teacher of students in the entire school. I think he may now be a head

If 18F is hiring, do you know why their hiring page states that there are no open positions? I was surprised by the mention of that in the article, especially since I had attended an event during the hiring freeze

OP here. Looking at the author's CV ( http://www.cs.uni.edu/~okane/resume.html ), he's apparently written a book on Mumps revised in 2016 and presumably does some consulting as well. I would imagine that he inc

Epic is famous for being SUPER-expensive. One of my colleagues told me a story about how some place build a new hospital for I think $500Million and then the Epic installation was $600M. Granted, I think Epic is the most expensive of the E

Most likely Apple OSX (Darwin). Assuming that you're talking about servers there are several BSDs being actively developed: OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD and HardenedBSD. OpenBSD and HardenedBSD both have a heavy security focu

I'm going to take a nuanced response to this because frankly that anyone would want or need a segregated platform is stupid, but yet that need/want does exist. If you have a team all from the same background (say a prototypical st

Really it comes down to whether we can find qualified candidates from the website. I'm looking to increase the diversity in engineering so that it's not all 30ish white guys. My last job I worked with engineers in their 20s, 30s,

I'll second this. While it's not self-hosted, it is the only SAAS option that's actually usable in regulated industries. The main consideration is that the api is slightly different and some integrations aren't as nice (

Keep in mind that most ISPs get contracts with state government and are generally subsidized by state contracts, especially for city and rural rollouts. Notably Verizon gets a number of complaints in NYC and NJ for not fulfilling contracts.

Thanks for confirming this. I had my suspicions, especially after the last few years of using them and just seeing massive problems that seemed to be caused by the software at Rackspace.

If you're a big enough company or work with big companies there are actually a few "standards". Retail, energy and healthcare among others use EDI. It would certainly be nice to have one for small companies as well

Some advice from someone who has done the same thing multiple times. Find yourself someone who knows the application really well and become their best friend. You'll find some weird things in the codebase and often they'll be able
