For a second I thought this was Fowler posting but it's actually the CTO. Look if not reviewing code works I'm sure we'll see startups and new companies pushing it to the max. I'm at a startup myself and we make judiciou

I've worked jobs where I'm paid 60-80k and where I'm paid 100k plus. I can tell you for sure I cared much less about the job where I wasn't getting paid as much. I would never answer an after work call or go out of my wa

I never criticize a manager. It has very limited upside on the off chance that a manager takes my feedback seriously. OTOH the downside is tremendous. I don't think feedback in a corporate setting from someone you have power over can b

Very cool but will the threads necessarily wake up deterministically? One may wake up before another but not get cpu before it correct? (forgive me if I'm misunderstanding the code)

As much as the OP claims they take cheating seriously and as an opportunity to engage with students and have them learn amongst other noble undertakings. I think they just really enjoy catching people cheat and see how far it goes. Sort of
