Hello, I was the first employee of HRT in London in my niche skills. The company never granted holidays to UK employees. The issue has escalated to impossible levels with the company terminating me and openly threatening me and my family to

I am gonna join this opinion. It's quite likely that one of the products takes over. Maybe one product had more traction with customers, or maybe one product is losing customers. Maybe the entire sales or development team will leave wi

Rent in London is high but little compared to the other international cities. My experience working for international companies is that a flat that goes for £2000 for me in London can go for $5000 for a coworker in NYC (maybe less now after

Personally I view it as a successful project for the client. The client wanted something done but they only had some time/budget to work on it. The developer looked into it and was able to get the project done. It's great.

A pretty good summary. If it were me, I would insist some more on the hardware and the delay of hardware. Have a "bug" in your circuit board? The most mundane thing, you planned room for a 5mm component but it's slightly larg

An horrifying article. It's completely missing out that conda/anaconda prohibits commercial usage. If you want to use conda/anaconda in a company, you have to go out of your way to prevent it to use commercial packages. Also,

Downside, when the company gives you a voucher for £20 to order food (that ought to be enough for anyone!). Turns out the delivery app automatically adds £10 in delivery/service fee, and there's hardly any food you can pick for th

The large majority of the 30x return was over the past 2 years with the pandemic, which is not going to happen for Gitlab. God forbids if you bought square long ago and didn't hold long enough, they had multiple years of ups and downs.

How much of that revenue growth was driven by Gitlab more than quadrupling their price in the last two years? ($4 to $19 a month). They can't pull that trick again.

When the newspaper says "unable to buy essential food items", they just mean that there was some items out of stock, not that there was no food in the shop. If there's no beef today, you can still buy something else.

Fact is, they are invalid in many countries. One major rationale is that the EULA/ToS is only visible after purchasing the product, which makes it void automatically. How could the customer agree to something they are not aware of and

One thing to be aware of. To verify if flash drives work, you have to fill them fully with data and then verify the integrity of all the data. The scam for many flash drives is to provide a working one that's only a fraction of the siz

It's unfortunate that the example given is about supporting the Ansible package. Ansible is a python software and Python doesn't support Alpine.

The PTO is unclear in my opinion. There may be something depending on what's written in the contract and what jurisdiction he is in. There's way too little information to judge.
