Quit a low-paying C++ job (which was a horrible mistake) and now being unemployed for god knows how long. So far, every single company I applied for, rejected my job application. (…

One example I can think of was the Play framework. If you wanted to work with Scala 3 and Play 2.7, you couldn't. You needed to stick with Scala 2.13 to be able to use Play 2.7. Th…

Do you think that formal specifications might alleviate logical bugs to an extent? Yes, it appears that companies won't budget that at all. Many seem to ship fast, fix later. It is…

Thank you very much for your input. > It doesn't mean not having any relationships but just because you're family doesn't mean you have to be constantly present in each other's liv…

My mistake was to assume such rules in other EU countries. In Germany, there is a thing called "Kündigungsschutz"[1]. I am not sure about Ireland, but I assumed there are similar r…

I made a mistake here. I no longer stand fully by that statement. For details, consider my later reply. Original text: It is. The article does not say where this will occur. They c…

WLOG: Windows XP was a lot snappier than Windows 11. Why not just go back to the waterfall model and stop sugarcoating it as BDD? I also don't understand the lack of formal specifi…

How about ancient Greek philosophies (e.g., Aristotle, stoicism)?
