Hybrid working and desk sharing is the worst option for getting any actual work done. I'll gladly commute to an office where I have a dedicated desk with good equipment (2 monitors, keyboard etc) but having to work from a laptop withou

What’s the alternative - exponential growth which goes on forever? Seems unlikely. They stop releasing new devices every year? Doesn’t make sense from Apple’s point of view and as a consumer you can always skip a release - which people are

I take issue with presenting this as “adopting the title” like it’s something that people do unilaterally - most of the time it’s the title used by their company and it would be plain stupid for an invidual to turn down a promotion and high

i don't know, where I work 100% of resumes come from a third-party recruiter, same at my previous job. I've gotten my last 3 jobs either through third-party recruiters or direct applications, not referrals.

As a side note, I like how direct and casual these megacorp CEO emails are.

It stays with you until you need to change something and find yourself unable to make incremental changes. And in many use cases people are throwing Rust (and especially async Rust) on problems solved just fine with GC languages so the safe

I like the simplicity but there are some social problems with this. Let's say that I work on a team which has codebases with classes/dataclasses and I add a new codebase that doesn't use them, or one that doesn't _unders
