We have automated tests of all types, covering almost everything, but we still find use in our QA team. They also help us write BDD tests.

Hi, any details on what you are looking for? Stack etc?

I was just kicking some butt in there with the green team. Wonderful game by the way. However, when the game finishes I get a messy overlay of texts all in one place (assuming it's the name of each member of the team)?

I totally agree. However, there seems to be very few jobs for F# and I'd love to write use it on a daily basis. I've taken the advice of F# For Fun and Profit ( http://fsharpforfunandprofit.com/series/low-risk-

It looks like it's 180W, so it would run for about 4 pence an hour (in the UK, depending on rates).

I just noticed the Shadow of the Beast demo (SOTB), this is one of the quintessential Amiga games. Wonderful art and music (also rock-hard difficulty). Not long ago the game was ported to popular modern formats, for anyone interested: http

For anyone who has taken the time to learn Dvorak: From the point you began to learn it, how long did it take to become more proficient at Dvorak than QWERTY? How much more proficient do you consider yourself to be at typing as a result?

There's an Apple Store download 'TouchPal' on the Android page. I like the minimalist design.

Are they going to decorate the innards of said pyramids with diagrams of themselves hauling stuff with sledges, water and ropes too?

I'd like to be able to do this. If I have just a single beer I can get quite tired/sleepy, so when I drink I tend to have a few. Actually, I was talking about this recently with a friend and quite often a hangover can be more inte

Yes (in the UK), we're just slightly above it as a household, but I'm more ahead of it as an individual.

I'm from the UK and I earned £13.5k as a junior (at a very large multinational company), I was 21 and just out of university. I only broke £25k when I hit 29 years old. I consider myself to be a good developer. The salaries in the US s

We shouldn't forget about Costa Rica too. They finished above Mexico in qualifying, they have a decent team and they will probably have a slight climate advantage in the games at Forteleza and Belo Horizonte (vs. England). I wish I cou

Multiple emails and LinkedIn messages per day is the usual. I don't even have connections who are recruiters, but I have used agencies to look for jobs in the past. It's almost like they share a candidate database, because I'

That is interesting. What would you think if someone applied who had several years C# experience, but had only used python in their spare time on one or two small projects? Assume they have solid understanding of general software developmen

I think that if you bring a dog into work then it should be allowed to display it's opinion of Agile methodologies.

Something I noticed recently while briefly playing GTA V online was that people seem to be able to think of infinite ways to unfairly troll other players. I know the game itself is geared up for player versus player battles, but I'm ta

I wonder if that could be part of the assessment, to tell if the candidate is likely to verify uncertainties or make assumptions.

This is true and it is completely ridiculous. I often get recruiters who try to sell me a job based purely on technologies and not what the company actually does. I'll ask them who the company is and they usually wont say, either due t

I've had similar experiences. I went for a job a few months ago where I had to write a program on paper to produce report data from raw data collections, it was reasonably complicated. This is the type of thing I breeze through when I&

I find this hard to believe. I have contact dermatitis and it noticeably gets worse when I am not sleeping well.
