I've actually been given the same advice on HN regarding "not looking for a portfolio" since it excludes women. I think it's pretty disparaging to say women don't have the time for writing some code outside of work

I think it's unfair to characterize this as a tactical movement - its primary application was strategic. Also, it's probably not clear cut if it is a war crime. War is a horrible grizzly thing and very little is off limits in term

In a word - specificity. The same question arises in a number of older fields of study, for example "is chemistry the same as physics?"

The debate is fairly pointless, govt will do whatever they want anyway. The vast majority of people just vote down predestined party lines, and swing voters aren't all the bright educated people we like to think they are. It's jus

The absolute worst thing about this is that large corporations get a solid tax advantage in the UK compared to small businesses without the money or swing with HMRC to compete.

That's why Europe needs to commit to either "the ever greater union" (at least in a fiscal sense) or kind of bin it off altogether and engage in the race to the bottom like you say

I agree with the author that boot-camps and the learn-to-code attitude teaches people generally that they could easily "do it if they wanted". This is slightly different to the intended message which is "you should do it, we

Looks good! Do you think a lot of the functionality is covered by github or does it serve a different purpose?

I wonder if the reluctance to rent an office, new desk etc extended when the author started hiring? I personally think its very important to ensure your employees know you spent a bit of money making them comfortable and you value their wor

In the UK its an offence to handle goods which you believe to be stolen. What constitutes "belief" is left up to the court, but if ebay's primary function was to push stolen things then yes - they would be held accountable un

It raining on your wedding day isn't ironic unless you're marrying an umbrella shop owner who has recently gone out of business. Being stuck without a spoon to stir your tea in a spoon factory would be ironic. It's like good

As someone who's been there - my advice is to find something new as soon as possible. It's all very well trying to be their technical saviour but in the end you can't fix it all. Typically if the tech leadership is broken, th

Most comments on here regarding xenophobia etc seem to be missing the overall point of this article. The real issue is that these companies and individuals cannot be held accountable by the FAA. Usually every single item of work can only be
