I'd add that with legacy codebase the hardest thing is to untangle the business logic buried in. Some of it is likely still the core of the business but not many people, if at all, clearly know it and the docs are often dated and no lo

I think of it as a "bold" 9. Gretzky agreed it to be kinda synonymous with his favorite Howe's number 9. Yet it's 16 that Gretzky wanted at the time, instead of assigned 19... https://www.hockeyfeed.com/

I vaguely remember all those PageRank revisions, when some sites would get penalized for being slow or not well written. These days I'm not even sure if some sites are indeed gone or they just "fell off" Google search... It m

Ha, I clearly remember when natural language queries were encouraged for searching. I understood that it was the path to Assistant. Still, I agree that keyword search remains practical.

This should signal an explicit error, which invalid index is indeed. If user believes for some reason the invalid indexing is ok, then it could be caught and handled. No ambiguity.

Both cases are an index error. It's just for some other reasons in case of the section, the error is represented by an empty object and it's left to user to handle the result. This could easily conceal the indexing error unless th

My understanding is that the game is usually about the money saved between the offer and the target salary band. Companies have their review schedules and the new hires would be boarded before the reviews. This would allow to hire at low ba
