It can depend on the company, but some companies literally don't have a public facing email anymore. I was trying to get in contact with Bank of America of whom I am not a customer…

I think you'd find other physical engineering jobs are very similar at scale. Most poeple out there building new rail are building them in situations similar to how other people ha…

I went to a fairly well off public high school for my area and our food was horrific. I'd be curious to hear from anyone who went to a public high school in the US in the last 15 y…

Man the number of times while I was at UW that a cyclist just sideswiped me while I was in the middle of a crosswalk instead of just reducing speed momentarily. And they didn't eve…

Looks like it's just a basic tutorial on Statiq. Doesn't really answer the question of "Why should I, a .NET developer, use this tool instead of my normal workflow".

I always think debt is a loaded term because a lot of people reflexively hate debt. I think viewing it in terms of Accounting's "Liabilities" makes it a lot more clear. So the basi…

The current hotness is "Agile". A government contractor friend of mine cynically calls it "Waterfall but with 1 week, rather than 1 year, deadlines". Atlassian[0] has a good guide …
