I would only assume the other side of this entire conversation, from the recruiters view is that it is also a numbers game. Recruiters are effectively sales jobs just a different contract to close on. Get enough leads and eventually they cl

Quality can also become it's own trap as the entire org chases metrics aimed at quality. Soon you have loads of brittle tests that likely aren't adding great assertions but you have code coverage. Because that doesn't work so

There's more to life than a job as well. I've stayed at a job for the comfort of not needing to add to my or my families plate while my wife was in grad school. It was absolutely the right choice. I've also had a job that I l

Everyone I work with is constantly badmouthing Teams. It's buggy and flakey and they killed Linux support which my company actually made use of. Either way, it doesn't matter since it's bundled. Literally killed any chance of

I can't imagine why any ISP would do such absurd things when in my experience you're given sufficient resources on your first allocation. My small ISP received a /36 of IPv6 space, I couldn't imagine giving less than a &

I dived deep into RSS feeds and decided to really just try and follow content creators instead of relying on a single site. It's been a process.

We bought a Maytag set because it's capacity was larger than the Speed queens. I've never been more angry at a company. We threw in the towel and junked them they were so bad. Literally couldn't give them away bad. Apparently

There's also a giant speed difference plus the fact that a car will decelerate even if uncontrollably for basically any mechanical failure. Even at speed vehicle accidents are quite safe comparatively to a plane that has lost its abili

How much of our ingredients come in plastics though? I'm thinking about how all of my condiments and oils come in plastic containers. Heck even my potatoes come in a plastic bag as well. It's near impossible to avoid plastic conta

I bought a new Maytag washer/dryer when I moved. We were so frustrated by it that we decided we would replace them and then give them away. Had friends who were interested but, they couldn't get them to work at all either. They we

WFH for me gives me more flexibility in the childcare options. It doesn't eliminate my need to have my family needs met. I can't just watch my toddler and not work. However, I can be more flexible and drop my toddler off at daycar

I love the mandates to RTO to only get onto Zoom or Teams meetings with people in multiple timezones and offices all traveling to the office to fulfill the RTO mandate and yet...the only thing that changed was the blurred backdrop.

Agreed, but having a door meant you could put the "do not disturb" sign up. Of course that's pretty specific to your companies culture, but if someone closed their door at my office, I'd stroll around later. One of the b

This happened with copper lines for telephony providers. Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers have to provide access for Competitive Local Exchange Carriers to enter the market and break up their monopoly. This effectively made DSL and T1s ava

Technology doesn't seem to be the sticking point that keeps people at particular streaming sites. It's the content that rules the decisions about which service, at least based upon all of the discussions amongst the internets and

Plus layer 2 switches when they don't know the destination port will flood. With so many hosts that would be absolutely horrific. I've seen computers at moderately sized LAN parties (talking 100 nodes, far from the large or even m

A switched port learns the Mac address for packets sent into it. If port 1 sends a packet with Mac a, the switch associates that address (a) to port 1. When another node sends a packet onto another port with the same mac, say on port 2, the

I often find that the tooling I have at work helps speed up the development of more complicated solutions. So saying that FAANG solutions are easy to use and you can be fast at is easy when you have that FAANG support. Even just non-FAANG b

I'm pretty confident you're wrong there. The state param mentioned is a part of PKCE to verify to the originating source code that you've received the code. The original source of the request then can use that state and compa
