I've listened to a few books this year (Audible saves me time), but I read/listened to a book that actually changed my life in the summer of 2012 (close enough). I had wanted to become an entrepreneur, but then I read The Million

I partly agree here. We do need better tools that make complexity more maintainable. On the other hand, we have to be wise in the features we choose. Design has to change to accommodate features, and sometimes the design would be better

When you say centrally stored, who do you want to store it? I use LastPass, and the LastPass company stores backups. I previously used KeePass but had to manage the backups myself (Dropbox in my case).

She can either fix her workplace or get a new one. If she is as talented as you say she is, then she should take her talents elsewhere. Vote with your feet. I would not be so pessimistic to say that every environment would be like this (

In the US, I see an apprenticeship program not necessarily as an alternative to college (yet), but as a way for companies to groom junior engineers into senior engineers. If top talent is hard to find and costs a lot, it makes sense to inv
