Agreed. The book not only needs to be fleshed out, but is severely lacking in quality.

A past colleague of mine reached out to see if I had written a negative review on glassdoor. I left on good terms, but the company was going through some very real challenges. Several scathing, albeit somewhat accurate, reviews had been wri

I just read this as "The trump border wall will be good for the environment because individuals from a low pollution country will not start polluting at the same rate as Americans." Interesting.

Yes! yes! 1000x yes! Have spent the vast majority of my time on OSX for the past several years, but still reminisce about the wonderful keyboard shortcuts from Windows.

It certainly seems like the heat, sweat, and scent of a living human might affect the results. But, what do I know? Motionless plastic figures might be treated exactly the same as well.

No, it doesn't appear so.

It's hard to believe how little progress has been made with medical billing. My last standard annual physical was billed at $2.6k, had 30+ line items, and despite being covered my insurance left me with an out-of-pocket of $200+. I gue

You know how your 65" tv is actually 64.5 inches? That's called rounding. Now, imagine your TV was advertised as 4Ke when it was actually 1080p. That's called false advertising.

I'm not sure what you mean by your last sentence. I'd say that if code is being used in production it's not yet "dead", and it should be a much higher priority for team members to work with it. Can you not add addit

I agree with this 1000%. The only point I'd like to add is that incremental rewrites often have long-lasting value in terms of a culture that emphasizes continuously paying down tech debt.

I think this is a pretty reasonable set of counter points, even if I don't agree with them. Being part of team incremental rewrite, myself, I'd say that you're overestimating the cost of the incremental rewrite and underestim

I cannot possibly imagine how timeframe and team size are considered irrelevant to success. Business needs still matter. Time and money is still a thing.

This seems pretty fine to me. Laws forbade publishing exit pools until 10pm, so hedge funds conducted their own research independently to have better information. That's kind of how it is supposed to work. Bad laws/regulations p

Many people here will disagree with what I'm about to say, but if you're going to give a coding challenge... I like hackerrank/codility style coding challenges. gasp They're timed. They're run against a standard

Always surprised to hear friends & acquaintances remark that a $50 dry-aged steak from a steakhouse is overpriced. 24 ounces of Prime beef, aged for a month? I'm not sure I can get it myself for less than $25/lb. No way they&#

Let me a add a wrinkle to the mix specifically in terms of grade inflation. The value of most coursework and any learnings gleaned from it, has dropped significantly. The best value from entering education institutions is instead from job o

The thing is you don't have 1% of vested common stock. When joining the company, you might be granted a set of options which are described as comparable to 1% of total shares, but the number is almost always effectively lower than

The title isn't even close to the article's content. It reads like just another rant against sf/nyc. Some back-of-the-envelope math with conclusions that we all knew already.

I just don't get it. It's difficult enough to spend 1000's of hours on honing my craft. How can I possibly justify that sort of investment in meditation? If you tell me it helps those with sleep issues, mental blocks, psychol

The issue stated in the parent is one of inconsistent quality. The more apt comparison would be paying the costs for a seasoned CPA but with 50/50 probability of the numbers only being run by her assistant.

I'm not sure if you're trying to be sarcastic, but Jet is based in Hoboken, and, from first-hand knowledge, they do pay above market for software engineers in order to compete with companies based in nyc.

There also was a very strong emphasis on pain treatment as part of standard-of-care. When pain management is legislated, it becomes a lot easier for doctors to accept it as necessary.

I can't imagine taking an hour every night to fall asleep. Sure, the occasional time spent in fantasyland can be nice, but I wouldn't want it to be necessary.

Are you an nyc local? There absolutely is a premium placed for companies based in nyc. Companies in Newark, Hoboken, etc all start at a major disadvantage competing for talent.

Let's equate this to sales for a second. For success in sales, some would argue that salesmanship is vastly more important than nature of the salesman to the product. iow, A great salesman is someone who can sell ice to eskimos . Perh

I think timing is quite important here. Companies are understandably reluctant to quickly increase wages when the supply/demand forces for labor shift out of their favor.
