Yep, I was put on PIP with impossible success criteria (no issues raised in PRs by senior engineers and no issues in code deployed to production - even if it was reviewed by senior…

I'll add my story here for posterity: My first job out of university, I was working for a content marketing startup who's tech stack involved PHP and PerconaDB (MySQL). I was relat…

I'm at the marriage age right now and I see tons of my friends getting married. A friend got proposed a couple of months ago and her ring is ~40k USD. In my opinion, that's crazy s…

Weird, While I currently see none, I do see them logged out though. Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like I might not be seeing the full picture logged in.

ah, maybe it's time we deplatform Twitter no? maybe it's tongue in cheek but in all honesty, I find it extremely hypocritical that the Ayatollah of Iran, dis-information news organ…

Honestly, I've had way more success with Bumble when it comes to getting matches, continuing conversations and meeting IRL. That said, IMO the market for Tinder vs Bumble is quite …

I guess that's because the world is not black and white. You see corrupt cops hurt you while the nice mob helps your family. It's one of the reasons why successful criminals always…

On a side-note, I hate how Facebook sticks to their real name policy and does not allow for the creation of multiple accounts (I'd want one for my startup / work etc. and another f…

Didn't they freeze Trump only after the entire backlash? and last I checked, Trump was not on Parler was he? Infact, that was the big issue - Trump not moving to Parler or Gab whil…

The idea behind repealing 230 is not essentially about tackling censorship. It's more so the idea, that the right wing believes that Social Media is unfairly applying their moderat…

This is a good thing! Google, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit are pretty heavy handed when it comes to "censoring" content. This is annoying because somehow "rightwing / wrongthink" c…

Thanks for being willing to have a discussion about this. 1. > The difference is of course that the burger only kills the person ingesting it where a gun kills someone other than t…

I’m a Canadian and I find that absolutely the opposite. 1. > I don't need perfect to be the enemy of good. There's no reason to possess these weapons any more than there's a reason…

We are paying salary as a perk. Legally we don't have to. With that in mind, why should those 16 months count to experience? Work was not done by said engineer, and experience was …

Most companies have a particular pay scale for a role - based on experience, position etc. (let's say a formula exists) I'm arguing about this with the above mentioned model

This makes sense to me. Thanks for providing another view point.

My answer would be the exact same which is why I asked the question.

I'm a startup founder and I'd like to understand this: Let's say we have a pay scale that pays you ~15% raise yoy + years of experience. We have 2 people for this example - one mal…

So I had posted this earlier but I'll post again with another update. I'm based out of Toronto. 2012 - small business owner - 60k AED / yr (no taxes) - built Wordpress websites in …

FB blocks those numbers, I've tried those in the past. Almost all major services that use phone verification ignore those numbers out right or act like they accept it but either: 1…

I used VPNs. But FB keeps a track of a lot of public VPN & Cloud providers and then throws a ton more "captchas" your way - asking for your picture, govt id, phone number verificat…

While the user might have issues (like cookies and other features) - I can guarantee you Facebook does all kinds of creepy stuff to identify who you are. Worse yet, once they think…

I'm currently based in Toronto 2012 - small business owner - 60k AED / yr (no taxes) - built Wordpress websites in my spare time 2013 - technical cloud marketing intern - 60k / yr …

Just as a note, the author is from CleanTechnica. They are known to be extremely pro-tesla. Best case scenario - most of their articles quietly ignore the downside and prop up the …

This actually scares me. I want to bootstrap an SaaS company focused on enterprise / b2b soon and being bootstraped I can't afford to hire an sales rep/ account manager (or be one …
