I worked for a company once where IT Desktop Support had to install all software, even for teams who worked in Technology. I was tasked with starting a whole new program and needed…

I interviewed with Wikipedia a year or so ago, and right from the start the recruiter said “since we’re a donation based organization, we have to pay below market” and it was defin…

One of my favorite resources on 1:1s, I was just sharing this in a management class I had to take. I highly recommend his book “Managing Humans” to anyone who’s looking to be in En…

This and the glee of executives over systems that increase the potential for overdrafts or charge backs is why I’m glad to not be in banking anymore. One of my most memorable conve…

I noticed the same thing - Nissan and Infiniti models that are basically the same chassis but with fancier features going for the same price. Infiniti was lower than MSRP but Nissa…

I always dreaded talking to support - AKS would routinely break in weird and ways, and it was always super frustrating waiting for support to fix things that shouldn’t have happene…

What I don’t understand about this is they were most likely an at-will employee. So the company could have just said “new policy, sign it”. I had an employer do this - I was workin…

My biggest mistake was not accounting for the ethics of what the company was doing. I was young, and super excited to have a job in software while still in school, building things.…

This reminds me a lot of work I used to do in the controls world. We had a large amount of equipment all with proprietary networking to embedded systems that were basically Intel 3…

This is pretty much exactly how I got my first job programming. The only student job I could get at college was working for the HVAC department: organizing filters in warehouses ar…

I think the big reason for this is most dealers know there's little maintenance cost on EVs, which is where they make their money. With our Nissan Leaf, it's a struggle finding a d…

Keep the Apidistra Flying is one of my favorite books. I first read it in High School and I remember distinctly relating with the scene when he's counting how much money he has lef…

We tried this on a b2b SaaS product I worked on where we had a lot of "third party" users (volunteers for a customer) who were only going to use the application once a year at most…

When I bought my router table, I remember reading a lot of articles about lifts not being worth it due to lack of repeatability / slop in most of the DIY and cheap mechanisms unles…

The VA sort-of does this, at least when I worked for them. The issue they had when I was there was depending on where you went, you may or may not have access to the record, becaus…

Maybe instead of an image, both parties could use an ODB reader that signs the mileage cryptographically, and pushes it to the blockchain? This way both parties could verify the tr…

I'm fairly astonished how few duplicate applications are here. I work for a company the same size, and we have many more applications than this, with lots of overlapping and compet…

SARs are required to be reported for all daily cash deposits greater than $10K by the Bank Secrecy Act.[1] Cash heavy businesses could easily hit this level, as well as large trans…

I agree with you, in most cases, but unfortunately in some regulated industries, more and more auditors are putting WAFs as a requirement for secure architectures. No amount of exp…

This cannot be stated enough. The company I worked for purchased "the leading gartner SAST testing solution" before they even started a project and had a framework chosen. It turne…

I can second this - our mainframes average response time is 2-5 seconds based on the call, with 99 percentile responses in the minutes per transaction. This is after a fortune was …

I ran into a great "where's the code" on a "lightweight API" ruby project once. Opened up the codebase to fix an issue, and there were no .rb files at all. After opening every file…

Waterfall is certainly a thing - although it's taken most of my career to run into it. Where I work currently (banking) some of the projects are waterfall, some are agile. The wate…

I was really surprised docker or kubernetes wasn't one of the items on here. While I use both, they definitely both could use cold showers to make sure they provide value.
