Worked for a much lesser international company and it was exactly the same minus the politeness. I had to find a quiet corner to get some work done.

I mean, seriously? Is that still a thing in 2022? I bumped into such an online test by a marketing firm and I just couldn't bring myself to go through it. Dunno, felt a bit like mo…

Yeah React is already so last year.

Wife is talking with a FAANG that has presence in pretty much all large EU countries plus UK and Switzerland. Where she relocates to is pretty much open but we most often gravitate…

Yeah we only do that metaphorically in the modern world.

Couldn't agree more. I was working in a company that didn't allow local checkouts. You'd have to work in a remote VM. Next step was going to fully remote desktops (i.e. dumb termin…

It's fascinating how much the ageing West is fascinated by feats accomplished by as young as possible people.

All good points. Thanks

Sorry for the foul language but I had one too many of this. Having worked with a good few Open Source tooling/libraries/frameworks etc and with a lot of similar internal ones I hav…

More like "throwing the towel" than "accepting"...
