Of the 219 factors causing unhappiness, I'm guessing 218 of them are 'constantly changing requirements' :) The last one is 'nobody refilled the coffee machine.' edit: speeling

There needs to be an entire class devoted to working with Product Managers without killing anyone...

He remembers the Old Ways.

Finish that degree. With your math background, it won't be any problem to pick up the algorithm stuff you need to pass a whiteboard.

I think Fall 2023 is way more likely than Fall 2022. The game would need to be in a close-to-release beta right now for a shipment 6-7 months from now IMO.

I've done this periodically, I highly recommend it. I hadn't been looking at any news this year (other than pure tech news/game sites), but broke that streak this week to watch and…

I work in the security industry. The products I work on help keep hundreds of thousands of people safer in an online world whose threat landscape is expanding daily. That sounds li…

My homesteading fantasies were tempered by a real examination of the amount of hard, hard work and time every day that's required. It sounds like you might be happier with a house …

So, I would describe that as a dysfunctional sales team. I've worked at everything from a 40-person startup to companies with over 100,000 employees. The sales engineers on the tea…

I just hired a junior UX designer in part because of their really cool side project. It's not something I was asking for or expecting in the job req, but I for sure looked at it wh…

Jennifer Sherman's book _Those Who Work, Those Who Don't_, is a fascinating (and depressing) exploration of what this means, and the social changes that happen when men (mostly for…

Just lost out on a candidate who was in the 'talking with HR phase'. Their existing company offered a 100% salary bonus to stay for 12 months. I'll hit them up again in a year :)

Really nice work! And good response from Google.

This was amazingly well thought out for a meth head. Points for effort.

This reminded me I hadn't ripped my Kindle library in awhile. Thanks.

> Microsoft had all the cash in the world to make it happen. But instead, they put Candy Crush in the start menu. And got rid of Pinball. :(

I spent a ton of time on Lambda. Such a cool slice of computer history.

I initially read the headline as 'crematorium' and was intrigued...

They also put a quarter-million copies through the crazy expensive (at the time) laser jet printer that I'd just bought a few months prior, paying over $3,000. They kept it for 4 y…

The SJG raid had nothing to do with Sundevil. Totally different crew. The LOD raids (which SJG got caught up in) were driven by an ambitious district attorney from Chicago.

> SJG's BBS was swarming with elite hackers. Untrue. The BBS the hackers all hung out on was the one I ran called the Phoenix Project. There may have been a couple of people who we…
