In the city I'm living in (Italy) buildings are old (and with 2 ft stone walls, on average) so that mobile phones can only rely on wifi when you are indoors. I think this may apply…

(Europe / Tech) 1. HR is not tech-savy and most of the time does look for distinguished engineers at the price of an intern 2. Salary is always on the low side, and salary range is…

I totally agree

In Italy it might be possible, food is quite cheap here. Usually the "lunch voucher" we get as employees is 5,16 EUR

I have, multiple times but in the same company so let’s count as one. VBA is still a thing in banking/insurance and big consulting players are still selling VBA projects and/or XLL…

Don't forget the mighty spreadsheets, the only software deemed as useful in finance :)

Am I the only one who thinks of this article after reading the whole thread? > https://overreacted.io/name-it-and-they-will-come/ HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i…

I'm not willing to enforce one commit per issue, but one issue per commit. An issue may have, of course, multiple commits (by multiple people maybe) but I wouldn't allow any single…

Hi, today I stumbled upon an email which stated that there is no such thing as a correlation between issues (tasks, bugs, ..) and commits. I, personally, think that such a relation…

I totally clicked on the title because I thought the thread was about whiteboard interviews (aka BS for someone)

Let's be frank, if salary figures are missing a job listing will always be red after those with a salary range. Then the description of tech stack and responsibilities.

My company is listed twice (!)

Italy. Factually it is like that, the law was meant to protect against unfair dismissal but over the years it has become quite clear that if you work all the time you're meant to, …

The company I work for has been acquired by the same equity firm as Idera. This happened recently (it's public news, so I'm not giving away any secret). What should I expect, given…

To me this is a big "no" because I'm not in such position to negotiate a deal with another company. All I can do is send proposals to our administration with a clearly stated fixed…

CentOs and Debian. CentOs feels more like "enterprise developer".

I think Java EE is a driver for Java in enterprises today. Easy management, easy deploy and widespread knowledge. Almost any IT knows what to do if you give them an EAR/WAR. Huge, …

In Italy a junior dev gets 28k$/year so I think even western/southern Europe may be interested.

Going with Rust too, while most of my company is starting to embrace Go. I feel like the weird guy, but having a strong Java/C# experience I think Rust complements my knowledge. Le…

This predicts perfectly my salary (3% error) in Europe (Italy).

When I was hired they put me to work on XLST. It was 2014! So I'm really happy I'm not doing that anymore.

We write requirements on behalf of our customers after the project has been developed because everything must change daily. This is, afaik, the modus operandi for most baking/insur…

Sorry for just posting a link, but I find this to be very relevant (and I think has been discussed on HN). > https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/microservices-are-something-y...

I wrote a small Java program to verify the collision count, just because I was bored and laying on the sofa: > https://github.com/Qualsiasi85/collision-pi warning: code is a mess -…

I agree with your comments, but let me share my 2c on "trendy framework bs". Most of interviews I've done to candidates ended up in discussing technology trends and googling around…
