It's a mix of ego and people not knowing what they are doing. I had to fight my first month just to get code into BitBucket. Before that, it was a server in rackspace you pushed to as the root user. Because the CTO only does the code r

Still fighting with the CTO on letting people other than him do code reviews. We don't do retrospectives and code reviews also take months. I also have to fill out a change request form (CRF) that has the git hash, list of files modifi

GD is joke. I worked at a company that would relentlessly take down the negative reviews. Once hired, they would butter you up to get a positive review so any negative reviews they couldn’t remove would be offset. That’s when I lost all tru

Rarely companies hit this. I’ve done work in a few startups and we never hit that point. Also, it’s about priorities and goals of the company. Security and control is the main reasons I see companies migrate to data centers. Generally thing

Your CTO is correct. Generally speaking you start building using the path that can deliver value the fastest to customers. This is usually something like Heroku. At some point you run into platform limitations and have to migrate to another

Riding motorcycles has done the same for me. Take a day and just ride around and get lost. You get disconnected from technology and live in the moment. I’ve met some amazing people and I’m involved with a nonprofit biker organization now. R

Personally I look for small or startup type companies. I’ve learned that VC backed companies are usually cut throat and not creative. You will get paid more, but there is a cost to that. It’s a numbers game with VC backed companies. Burn an

To this day I still boycott anything Metallica. I loved Napster and would run out and buy CDs to support the artists. This makes me happy, but doubt they even care.

I’m self taught and my story is similar, however in my day, there was no bootcamps. I busted my ass at hackathons to get noticed and moved up from there. I’m a high school and college drop out When I’m hiring for positions I cross out the s

Please correct me if I’m wrong here but companies must “play by the rules” in some countries. If they don’t, that company gets the ban hammer. But I guess that’s your point?

I use to work at Salesforce/Pardot for about a year. They had A LOT of security in place (VPN, 2FA, etc.) and were managed very well. Deployments weren't automated but everyone that had code in the deployment had to be on deck in

I’m completely self taught and the strategy I use most often is to grab a book on the topic. Either a lame men’s copy or a college text book and skim as much as possible. Once I’ve skimmed it I pretty much have a good idea of the outline an

Soft skills are the way I found that stands out. Being an engineer there is still the belief that engineers are ass holes and treat others poorly. Being able to explain complex topics and doing so in a way that doesn't come off like a
