I was under the impression that they were trying to shift their value into selling that enterprise version.

I think it’s not even about low stress, but low barrier to entry. There are plenty of things I’d rather be doing than software development (in fact I never planned on going into th…

Wow we really can’t have nice things.

Discovery… at least to an extent While you can find a some of the big names in specific genres on bandcamp, it’s always struck me as more of a place for underground and tiny artist…

Yeah that sounds similar to what my sleep schedule has been since I’ve been out of work. Prior to that I was doing mostly 12a-8a, but I was working remotely so it was easier. I do …

I try to keep my resume to one page, it’s just old advice I love heard since I was a kid. I’m not sure if it’s still good advice though, I’ve seen suggestions that it’s a hold over…

I’m not sure how accurate it is, but I started to play with jobscan to test my resume against ATS scanning. It was getting knocked for not having uselessly vague keywords like “bus…

I used it a while back to simulate something in the HP 1000 series. Funny enough, I actually had a machine from that family, along with a variety of other more obscure and niche re…

Enterprise software in a large non tech business. Being above average won’t really help you there as the bureaucracy will choke and discard your skills, but you can get away with b…
