    Somebody has to mantain "legacy software", heck you can even tell that all software becomes "legacy" at some point. Without knowing you it's difficult to know why are you selected …

    I don't mind doing home assignments as long as they're interesting. Make learn about some technology or some design pattern or whatever. Something that improves my skill. If I am g…

    Aren't they allowed to have an opinion?

    It's not only that. After the Civil War and Franco's regime, Spain's political tradition is to avoid conflict and wars at all cost.

    Spain will only veto Scotland if the independence is not agreed between the UK and Scotland (in the same spirit of Spain's opinion of Kosovo independence). Spain parliament is agai…

    However, Catalonia was not a kingdom but a region inside the Kingdom of Aragon, like Valencia, for example.

    Is the US government going to return their lands to Native American peoples?

    There were not "shenanigans", US doctrine is that the shipwreck belongs to the original country that fleet the ship.

    Legally the treasure of shipwrecks belongs to the nation whose flag was flying on her mast. However, as a good faith, a portion of the treasure could (and should) be given to Colom…

    Allow me to be a bit "blunt" and controversial here: Catalonia based their economy in slavery[1][2][3][4]. Are Catalans going to make reparations to the descendents of those slaves…

    Another example: Is UK going to pay reparations to its old colonies? Don't think so.

    Can't they give a free adapter when selling an iPhone?

    I have lived all my life in Spain and that's not my experience. Maybe in some small rural towns you can (illegally) keep an unfinished work for years, as long as nobody notices. Ho…

    You're the reason why "the wisdom of the crowds" doesn't work. Besides, your behavior is not ethical and you could be causing harm to some (gullible) people that followed your advi…

    There are no "burner phones" in Spain. To buy a SIM you have to identify yourself with a National ID card or a passport.

    I'm genuely interested, what kind of test could that be? Some tests they have gave me in several interviews: - Online shops. - Hackerrank questions. - Read from a big log file in a…

    That's right. That's the main point in favor of making the candidate do a simple questionnaire in office (or remote but in real time). Only 1 hour of their time is wasted.

    I don't think that take-at-home tests are fair. Most of times I've been given one the 3-4 hours have been actually a weekend. In fact, I have the policy of only accepting take-at-h…

    I don't want to belittle this piece of journalism but water-channel-based irrigation systems were already being used by Romans in Spain. In the case of Valencia, there's even archa…

    Are you seriously comparing a positive anecdote with several years of issues in his workplace (according to his final remarks)?

    What do you mean by "trust"? That searching some term in GitHub can leak some info about your organization? Or that the search does not work fine and return not-so-good results?

    I have never been asked to send code in an interview. I have my code in github reviewed by the interviewers, but that code was open source, so not an issue for me. However, I would…
