I thought restaurants make more money from drinks (and deserts) than actual meals.

It is a sign that you are a knowledge hoarder, happy that others are dependant on you. There is a lot of job security in that I guess. If you want to do yourself and others a favou…

I stopped reading when I realised it was an ad for snake oil, but lots of people feel like Drew at work. And they are all justified, even when working together. Drew IS the smartes…

We just set up a third gmail. Use it for all family rather than individual stuff. Typically my email clients just check it alongside all my other accounts, and my wife gets an auto…

I agree that they are not sexist. However I don't think diversity needs to be an explicit goal of choosing a speaker lineup. Having said that, being aware of the diversity in softw…

If I organised a conference, and failed to attract a single female speaker, especially in a community where sexism is a sensitive issue, I would immediately decide to cancel it of …

That last line is interesting. You lead up to presenting a scenario where one might rightfully expect a conference to naturally reflect a diverse speaker lineup, reflecting the div…

As a white guy, I think any conference struggling to attract female speakers, probably should be canceled. It doesn't mean the conference itself or its organisers are explicitly ra…

It's useless in Germany. It is just the same overdubbed stuff you can see on TV, several months too late.

I am not an enterprise thinker, but I have developed enterprise salary expectations. One of my current areas of interest is helping slow old large businesses be more effective by u…

I am a foreigner who has been working as a developer or manager in the software sector in Germany for around 10 years. For a couple of years I have been trying to move towards self…

I saw it on Reddit a few days ago.

After the first sprint, I mean, after you have validated your first MMF, it is all maintenance anyway.

This video just shows how necessary it is to beat that drum.

I find it especially offensive to women and feminists in the developer community. People watching it and saying, "OMG what a crap song, and such old-school dance moves. Don't they …

Rather than average investors, he seems to be targeting risk-averse older investors. Picking individual stocks is riskier, and more volatile sure, but even average investors can le…

Well obviously they should work less then. Most people I know who spend less time working tend to enjoy life more, look better, have more money and live longer. Oh and they are mor…

That's ok for a starting salary.

Surprised most are concerned on privacy grounds. My first thought was, wow this could chew up many users monthly bandwidth quotas.
