    We live in an ecosystem where we (engineers/developers) can promote ourselves and display our skills/acumen/values/professionalism/responsibility in an unequivocal way. Regardless …

    It's possible to work for an employer, and not have to compromise your values and or professional integrity. The attitude suggested by your response suggests you haven't lived that…

    Intelligence, which I assume to be a synonym for "smart" requires the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge from experience. These models do not have any experience. They're not …

    It would be interesting... My intention for using that specific language was less with the implied language of introvert/extrovert, and was more intended to point out how simply go…

    Then adjust the specs with the scope and feedback. I fail to see the argument you're making... Features aren't made in a vacuum. If specs are made/written....with the information a…

    All things being equal, if a person works remotely, apparently they're more likely to trend reclusive. At the same time, a person working in an office has the illusion of social ac…
