What do you mean? What is the problem with that statement?

Volkswagen is perhaps the greatest counter-example. The union in Germany converted every layoff initiative in whole or in part (more often in whole) into partial retirements, backf…

Financial equity, benefits and opportunities at other companies in my experience are not the determining factors for tech workers. Lack of or loss of self-determination and self-go…

After watching this video I am absolutely positive that the issue is not a lack of stamina in humans. It is that humans have the capacity to realize that this is a bad idea long be…

It is beyond absurd to assume a company dependent on unprecedented sums of investor money is NOT deeply integrating its marketing department in its operations.

I want the harness to use read freely but require confirmation for write.

It won‘t..

No shit

That's what Skills are for :^)
