Bees use flight movements and body wiggles to help their brains learn and recognize visual patterns with remarkable accuracy, according to University of Sheffield research that cou…

I only use Rider because it's cross-platform. It's not inherently better (or worse) than Visual Studio with Resharper installed.

I really don't understand why it was necessary to publically mention why these folks were being laid off. Being laid off is humiliating enough as it is, without the added cruelty f…

What really sucks is the label "low performer" that will get attached to the reason you got laid off at Facebook. That was an intentionally cruel thing to do to people who lost the…

These are actually amazing. I'm such a visual learner and these would have helped my high school years so much!

I don't think this is so much about this ONE ad but rather, it contributes to the overall feeling that real connections, like art, music, and architecture, are being lost daily. Mu…

This! Music programs throughout the US, are getting cut. AI has fundamentally (and not in a good way) changed the artistic landscape in ways that we cannot recover from. My soon to…

One more opinion in the mix. I grew up in extreme poverty as a child who also happened to have a keen interest in music. I could never develop this keen interest because of course,…

The only reason I'm using JetBrains at all right now is because Rider is cross platform. With Microsoft announcing the discontinuation of Visual Studio on Mac, I get really tired o…

Boggles my mind that they lacked the foresight to seriously consider whether this was a good move or not. I always considered them extremely developer friendly, but with this lates…

Did I love Windows XP? Yes. But to me, it always looked like it was designed by Fisher Price.

Having worked in PowerApps the last year and integrating a rest API in Azure that then updates Dataverse, low code is just short for abstraction layers. As a developer, this irrita…

Have you tried the new pipelines built into PowerApps?

As someone who is of East Asian descent, and with a mid -8 diopter, I fall into this category. I am extremely grateful that I can still get 20/20 vision with corrective lenses, but…

I'm on old curmudgeon and just want to go back to saying, "C#...It's fast enough!"

Having to tell your employer what your sickness is in order to get sick leave approved (or not) is ridiculous at the outset. This is the exact kind of thing people are lobbying aga…

No. What's currently popular is normalizing talking about mental health and wellbeing. Not everyone has the privilege to get a diagnosis, much less, get proper care or treatment. T…

What does 'abusing' sick leave mean though? You mention going to the ballpark using a sick day. Going to the ballpark with your son, looks a lot like taking care of your mental wel…

And if you never take sick leave, like I did during my almost 30 year career, the toll it takes on your health is tremendous. My employers have never cared about my high blood pres…

What Covid showed my household, despite me working from home, was that ALL of us being isolated at home, meant no more sickness. No longer were my kids bringing home crud from scho…

@danseop08 Stuck? What a weird and interesting thing to say since I deliberately chose and applied for jobs I was not only good at, but had the most experience in. And to then add …

Oh for crying out loud, I’m so over this holier than thou attitude. Every company and every vendor has strengths and weaknesses. Laughing in someone’s face for choosing to use one …
