I find myself struggling with somewhat related situation, everything in my life is going good, happily married and a great job that I love however I find myself wanting to watch th…

Junior developer salaries here are low enough that people just change industry. It's also not just about the salary but the way that they work. That all being said there are start …

I work out in Asia and over here a big reason for ageism in tech is a misunderstanding of development talent, there is a belief that coders are coders and that's all there is to it…

"Don't push buttons if you don't know what they do!" That statement makes me a little sad, it's pretty much the exact opposite of the way I was brought up and I'm pretty sure I wou…

Greater Los Angeles - 87,490 km2 England - 130,279 km2 87,490 * 1.5 = 131,235 Pretty close if you ask me.

An anti-corruption drive is nearly always just a power shift. Look at the various ones in China, it's never about corruption and more about one branch of the political elite taking…

Almost every time we have a BBQ or other outside event someone buzzes a drone overhead and just sits there watching us. Almost every time I go out hiking I hear the high pitched wh…

I'm pretty sure that's half of the point, stop any radicals from forming large followings.

This whole index funds outperform actively managed funds claim needs a lot more context. I always see adverts from people like Vanguard claiming such things but they are always jus…

Our Bloomberg usage these days is pretty much entirely the chat. I think the only other feature that gets regular use is the excel plugins.

It was a joke, relax.

I guess things have moved on from this Perl-Vista nightmare, I was personally looking forward to having all the coders around me screaming at their desktops in a fit of frustration…

That's pretty crazy, how do these people exist and get jobs? What kind of development were they supposed to be doing?

> and there's more genuine fear of hiring someone who can't fizzbuzz. I always hear this fear proclaimed but have never heard an actual story of a candidate failing to fizzbuzz, wo…

That's because it has nothing to do with skin colour and everything to do with the age old religious concept of light and darkness. However people will find a reason to get upset a…

Oh dear, what's next? Gender neutral electrical connectors?

I'd say just double down and have a job for life, https://github.com/Droogans/unmaintainable-code

I always find the use of per capita GDP as measure of development as a rather strange measure of development. You could have a country with massive oil reserves or similar natural …

"There are many popular trends that I believe are not suitable for every situation" Doesn't that statement apply to pretty much everything? Horses for courses and all that.

One part of the article I really don't understand, "The researchers relied on the millions of transaction records that are captured on the public ledgers of all virtual currency tr…

Do you have the scourge of zero hour contracts in the US? Basically a person can be contractually obligated to work when demanded but with no guarantees of minimum hours or salary.…

Oh yeh me too, even when you use a similar app with taxis the service is awful. At least half the time they call you and cancel as they've just picked someone up on the way to you.…

I wonder how much the true cost is to the driver, not only are they having to pay fuel costs but the more miles a car does the less it's worth. It's almost like swap deal, swapping…

Interestingly where I live Ubers are usually 50% more expensive than taxis.
