Texas had (has?) a similar problem with wind energy. The utilities were actually paying for people to use the energy. Batteries are the game changer for solar and wind since on-peak, off-peak will have less dramatic differences

I don't think I've seen anything that has the same traction as rails, but strongloop's loopback framework for nodejs was pretty good for best practices (I think their enterprise version has some api extras as well)

Make sure to keep in contact with old coworkers, especially if they've moved on to other companies. I've gotten contract work from former coworkers and actually got my first job because my boss' boss found out that I did some

Yes, I've gone through this transition, as have several colleagues. 1) Start blocking tech news sites you visit during the day (TechCrunch, hacker news, etc). View these once per a day or preferably once a week. You'll find you&#x

5% reuse is low, although it probably depends on what exactly you're working on. One approach is to make as much of your code into libraries as possible. This works especially well if you're making new applications using the same

Most likely depending on your experience. If you find yourself having trouble getting interviews start talking to recruiters. I will say that almost every recruiter I've worked with has gotten me into interviews quickly (within 2 weeks

Depends on the recruiter. I've got one recruiter who's a former engineer that's been great (Noah of ScopusIT). I'd also second the FILD "devops" team for good work, although they have less background. I've

I'd agree with this assessment that it's just a customer doing due diligence. I will say that these customers tend to be more enterprisey with all the implications therein

I'm not sure why you would assume that Google Analytics or other third-party analytics software would be forbidden. Google probably has a better security model than most banks, especially with premier products like Google Analytics. It

Yes and no. This is a bug and a high severity bug once exploited. But as long as the main software product works "well enough" for a customer to pay for the development and be happy with it, an agency doesn't care. The priori

I believe they also have a big data BI software platform. Think about how much work has gone into big data solutions like hadoop, spark and storm which requires technical data scientists/BAs/Devs to gather insights. If you could c

The people you need to reach are the software developers that maintain the system. It's probably best to try signed contract one of them through social media. Yes there are companies that don't care about security. Often these mea

There are developer jobs out there for 40+ year-olds. I worked with a developer who was 70+ for a little over a year. What some people do is they move to tech management positions such as CTO, programming manager, or work as software archit

I typically will generate basic code from a model and then after I make modifications I regenerate documentation and the model. To make a 2-way mapping really work you for you would have to separate generated code from code that you modify.

Companies don't benefit from sending out rejection letters unless they think they may want to hire someone they previously rejected. There is also the potential for legal liability if they say something. That on top of the time it woul

You should have a master contract that a lawyer has looked over that you use as the basis for all contracts. There are plenty of services that you can use to get a lawyer to quickly eyeball any changes. See https://news.ycombinat

There's a reason why many companies will have a CFO. The easiest way to get these done is to source them to dedicated personal. This can be as simple as getting an accountant/accounting service, a temp. Alternatively you can auto

As unpleasant as working with recruiters can be, at the very least they do seem to be able to get interviews consistently. You may want to give some of them a try (I'm sure others here can give you the names of a few good ones).

The first thing I try to do is to understand the directory structure, ie where should I be looking for files? Hopefully there should be a standard structure that's used. After that I'll typically try to dig in and fix a minor bug
