It’s definitely not zero effort. But every time I’ve seen it draw out the timeline, it’s been because the expectations weren’t clear at hire time, nor in the PIP. You’re looking for a specific number of “significant PRs/week”, or story

I haven’t personally seen that work in practice. I’ve been in situations where we considered it, but people usually have picked a role with salary considerations in mind, and often can’t really walk that back, and if they do it’s demotivati

You absolutely need to consider how the rest of the team will interpret you actions. Most probably know this individual is underperforming already. Teammates usually have a sense before the manager does. But the way you handle it will also

This varies from US state to US state, but at least in Georgia the answer is no. We have to register ahead of time (usually when obtaining a driver's license for our current address), and voter registrations are cross-checked against o

This is really frustrating, and sorry you're on the receiving end of this. I don't work for Twilio, but we spend a lot with them (and some other telecoms) so I see a bit further up the chain than most. The retail wireless carriers

Besides what others have pointed out, there's also the economic angle. It may be worth the estimated $X (for whatever value of $X you believe) to predict a collision, forge a cert, and MITM all of a website's traffic. It may not b

I worked at Oracle up until last year. At Oracle HQ in Redwood City, yes, many developers have private offices. But our office and the other offices I visited elsewhere that had been built-out more recently were open-plan environments.

That was probably editorialized by TC. I work at Vitrue, and Reggie regularly corrects people around the office who refer to the company as a "startup".

Besides fire/flood/theft/etc, is the garage clean and climate controlled? I used to run a server in a basement during college, and burned through 2 disks and one motherboard before I finally figured out that warm, damp, and dusty basements

I found the SitePoint book "The Principles of Beautiful Web Design" ( http://www.amazon.com/Principles-Beautiful-Web-Design/dp/097... ) to be very informative as well. It's a great introduction to a lot of different aspects of design that

This really sucks. I had something similar happen last December, except the laptop was stolen out of a locked hotel room. Not a shady place either...skyrise elevator-access place downtown in a big US city. Hotel was of little help, and po

As an EE or CS major, an iPad isn't going to cut it as your portable device. Like others have said, you're going to want something that can run IDEs or hardware interfaces in labs or at group project meetings. YMMV, but don't obsess over b

Wow...I just went through this last week. Definitely didn't think they'd be dumb enough to encrypt the applet but not the chat traffic. But I was a little sketched out by the fact that you go through this entire official ordering process

Looks well thought out - I think the idea has great potential! Just a few points on the marketing pages: * Why do the Twitter / Yahoo / Digg links on the home page actually link to those sites? Maybe it's because the arrow pointing up to

Well, you certainly have your work cut out for you. Hacking together hardware isn't quite the same as software, because mistakes are expensive. Debugging noise on a signal line with an oscilloscope takes eons compared to watching a value

Apple also aggregates payments. I use my PayPal account (somehow that lets me avoid sales tax...who knows why...) for iTunes. Typically they'll bill me immediately for the first song (presumably to make sure my PayPal account still works)

Georgia Tech also lets you keep your @gatech.edu address permanently, for free. Just having a .edu address does not prove you're associated with higher-ed. When I signed up for GitHub, the free and a paid accounts were differentiated (to m

I'd wager most college students don't know this. I graduated 2 years ago and I wish someone had told me this. And I still try to convince friends of the same when they're out interviewing. It's even worse when you're graduating because

Well I've got the viewpoint from the other side here. I work for a large company in the US that has set up an office abroad for outsourcing some of the engineering. (I'm actually planning to leave to start my own thing soon, but that's a
