Live in a tech hub, get a good recruiter, say yes to everything. 60 is probably extreme, and a good recruiter would probably actually turn you down for this type of behavior, but it's def possible.

First company: My manager met with me once over two years. It was 18 months into my just over two years stay, and all she told me was "We don't know eachother at all so I can't really judge your performance." She gave me

Because it's ridiculous to decide that the bottom of the decision graph should be held responsible for the poor decisions made from above. Engineers should only be held accountable for decisions they made personally. The unfortunate re

I'm not sure why you feel the need to say this, as the purpose of my post wasn't to challenge any of the other assertions in this thread - rather to provide more information. I'm not going to debate you because there isn&#x27

I had a therapist a while ago that spent a lot of time talking with me about how discipline and motivation aren't real. His point was that lots of people lose before they start by feeling like they aren't disciplined or motivated

I'll be working on moving to Vancouver, BC in the next few years. Small house not near people. I'd like to heavily customize the interior - a thing that I don't do while I don't own.

I am not an expert, but 75k seems disproportionate from the effort and time the requirements seem to be looking for. For the lofty goal of "Fix the internet", 75k seems more like "An extra few weeks of runway." What am I

Caps are way more common, but every monday morning the front stoop at my old office would have a handful of used needles on it. I suppose the hyperbole would be implying "hundreds" of dirty needles all in one place. When I walk to

I am not disagreeing nor challenging you; I'm happy you like it and I think you should keep using it since you enjoy it so much. My question is: Wouldn't the same be said by most programmers with a high degree of proficiency with

I keep hearing this sentiment, moreso than I've ever seen for any other language. Once you "get into" Clojure, you're both A.) Extremely productive with it, and B.) in love with Clojure. How does it hold up for those of
