Do you share a part of you charge with the people that contributed? If not, what you're doing is the same as what others did when they took your work and profited from it. You've all agreed what can and can't be done with you

Here you have selection bias. If you're a US company and you have to bring someone from outside the US, you'll probably bring the better ones and, as someone already said, if they are fluent in English, they are probably at the to

Whenever you interview at another company you're evaluating what is your worth in the market, instead of just guessing. It's always good, even if you don't intend to take the offer. If you show it to your boss, it means you i

So, just to clarify before people think I'm an OOP advocate and it's perfect, I don't, but I think it has it's place. > There are definite degrees to this. Agree. The question is, does OOP leads to more buggy code? Ma
