I began writing C# in 2004. I've been writing it since for business and pleasure. Since Microsoft began adopting a more open source approach, it's been, well, amusing to see the open source culture collide with has been historical

The developer salary costs seem really outlandish. 500k euro for a "top notch developer" and 250k euro for "supporting developers". Where are these estimates coming from?

Well written piece, kudos to the author. If we are uploading cheques and licenses, why not just have a form with the respective upload sections for each document. Sure, people might get the two backward by accident, but is that error rate r

While the actual case study makes for an interesting read -especially for someone who lives in Colorado - the numerous typo's, spelling errors and grammatical mistakes greatly takes away from the message. Did anyone bother to proofread this

What a load of garbage. Nothing like cherry picking a few underprepared individuals to generalize millions of their cohorts.

Author doesn't seem to understand why most people go into software engineering. It's because they are creators not managers. Employers need to get what motivates their employees and put people in positions that enable those employees to pur

Anyone have experience working at, or with, SpaceX that can shed some light on what it's like to work there?

The fact of the matter is that OP shouldn't have to deal with any of that. No matter how much an inconvenience, it's still an inconvenience.

Have your application periodically register with a registration service and monitor for excessive use. If you detect something, call up the customer and ask what's going on and present your data. Tell them they are not licensed to run unlim

I've been using the product off and on for the past few months and overall have had a very positive experience. However, I think it would benefit from a more mature range of simulation capabilities and component inventory. It would be great

Agreed. I would have expected to see things like ICA, PCA, SVD, pseudorandom number generators for various discrete and continuous distributions, misc. multiplicative and arithmetic functions, misc. metrics (of the minkowski kind) and so on

Seems somewhat nonsensical to claim the man is the "best computer programmer in the world", (ignoring for a moment the notion that there is such a thing) since only a small percentage of computer programmers in the world even participate in
