   Interesting, when you're a quite successful company - why should you be critically dependent on such 3rd party services? I mean, why not have an in-house hosting with the appropriate staff? Is this so much trouble, even for rich compan

    I think it is quite easy to get to the level of discussions where one needs to be very smart to fabricate... As for coding during the interview, I can't concentrate (get in the "zone") even when my wife watches me behind. S

    Believe me, your DBA or the person who writes queries doesn't need to know how exactly B-tree index works. Or even "B-tree" term. Just being aware about indexes and knowing when and where to add it would be sufficient.

    I see. It makes sense for short-term-ish projects. But I had experience of long-term working with the client, where there are no milestones. There is just an unlimited continuous flow of work to be done. So if you charge daily, that most li

    In Georgia, it is the mostly used title - "Programisti". Because, we don't have one single word, the synonym of "Software". So word by word translation of "Software Engineer" in Georgian would be: Computer
