Somebody has to mantain "legacy software", heck you can even tell that all software becomes "legacy" at some point. Without knowing you it's difficult to know why are you selected to work on legacy software. Maybe y

I don't mind doing home assignments as long as they're interesting. Make learn about some technology or some design pattern or whatever. Something that improves my skill. If I am going to dedicate some of my own time to a project,

Aren't they allowed to have an opinion?

It's not only that. After the Civil War and Franco's regime, Spain's political tradition is to avoid conflict and wars at all cost.

Spain will only veto Scotland if the independence is not agreed between the UK and Scotland (in the same spirit of Spain's opinion of Kosovo independence). Spain parliament is against unilateral declarations of independence.

Is the US government going to return their lands to Native American peoples?

There were not "shenanigans", US doctrine is that the shipwreck belongs to the original country that fleet the ship.

Legally the treasure of shipwrecks belongs to the nation whose flag was flying on her mast. However, as a good faith, a portion of the treasure could (and should) be given to Colombia. Spain and Colombia are brother countries, I'm sure

Allow me to be a bit "blunt" and controversial here: Catalonia based their economy in slavery[1][2][3][4]. Are Catalans going to make reparations to the descendents of those slaves? Sadly, what is in the past cannot be undone. We

Another example: Is UK going to pay reparations to its old colonies? Don't think so.

I have lived all my life in Spain and that's not my experience. Maybe in some small rural towns you can (illegally) keep an unfinished work for years, as long as nobody notices. However, that is absolutely not true for most Spanish cit

You're the reason why "the wisdom of the crowds" doesn't work. Besides, your behavior is not ethical and you could be causing harm to some (gullible) people that followed your advice.

There are no "burner phones" in Spain. To buy a SIM you have to identify yourself with a National ID card or a passport.

I'm genuely interested, what kind of test could that be? Some tests they have gave me in several interviews: - Online shops. - Hackerrank questions. - Read from a big log file in an efficient manner with Python (did it but ther

That's right. That's the main point in favor of making the candidate do a simple questionnaire in office (or remote but in real time). Only 1 hour of their time is wasted.

I don't think that take-at-home tests are fair. Most of times I've been given one the 3-4 hours have been actually a weekend. In fact, I have the policy of only accepting take-at-home tests that are interesting problems that help

Congrats, you're better than most university students I know! Being so much close to getting your degree, get it! You are almost there! Besides, when you have your degree you're going to be above your (average) peer because of you

I don't want to belittle this piece of journalism but water-channel-based irrigation systems were already being used by Romans in Spain. In the case of Valencia, there's even archaelogical evidence of pre-Roman irrigation systems

What do you mean by "trust"? That searching some term in GitHub can leak some info about your organization? Or that the search does not work fine and return not-so-good results?

I have never been asked to send code in an interview. I have my code in github reviewed by the interviewers, but that code was open source, so not an issue for me. However, I would not share a full non-open source working code, less so if i

Well, for some of them, it is a form of distraction: See how the current president of Mexico (López Obrador) is making exagerated remarks about the Spanish conquest of Mexico, calling for reparations and asking for an official apology. Why

Some gambling companies have reached me and I have refused to interview with them. Gambling is unethical as it predates on vulnerable people. Just say to the recruiter you're not interested.

European here (from Spain). I wouldn't worry about searching actively a new job. Last time I was looking for a job, I did like 20 interviews. No sigle offer. Am I a bad software engineer? I'm not the best for sure, but the worst?

A note of warning: I'm afraid this topic brings many propagandists. Both in the "Spanish nationalist" side and in the "anti-Spanish" retoric. The facts are there, search for information, but be aware that for many y
