Well you know..that's just like your opinion man. Opting out of this site at this point. A bunch of 6-12 year idiots (recognizably) telling people what they think they know that th…

Substantial proactive improvements not relevant to the same build|OS which comes full circle to the linux comment which is so hated. That is: anyone with source and knowledge can m…

Don't think that was where I was going. It was more of the none of this stuff is really done, it is hard in this language and help would be appreciated..as understood through the p…

Will be 70 and happily oblivious.

One open plan work environment story. One and only. Lasted three months there. Noisy, smelly (kitchen nearby), and the head counters would come by every couple hours to see who was…

Chuckling at this ingenuous question. Agile + scrum were transparently about providing leadership/managers with a reason to be involved at higher rates of compensation. Streamlinin…

In https://www.amazon.com/Homo-Deus-Brief-History-Tomorrow/dp/0... there is an interesting|amusing diversion into the history of the lawn iirc.

Surprised no one else has commented on this. Worked on EHMP recently and that is a huge, huge project that was never going to leave the ground. It was apparent pretty quickly that …
