Nobody wants to listen. Nobody. In 90% of the companies there are some so called senior devs that get ecstatic when they create a new abstraction. Overengineering, abstractions and premature optimisation are the 3 worst plagues of engineeri

I bought a Sage (Breville) Barista Pro a month before the first lockdown. It was pricey but was one of the best purchases I've ever done. Still works exactly the same and it's what makes me want to get up from the bed even on Mon

This is really great news! We also need a paneuropean banking & tax system and ideally some paneuropean telephony (plus voip) and internet providers.

Agreed. And I think European countries really need to start eating our own dog food and stop being 100% reliant on US software and hardware. It's not (only) about opposing certain political behaviours, but (also) about supporting our f

Most of the time gov, orgs and companies don't listen to their in-house engineers but will pay $$$ to some consulting firm, only to confirm the same thing or just to show that "they are taking actions towards the solution". I

They should effectively immediately freeze and potentially cancel any Korean investment in US and investigate all US companies based in their country. US behaving rogue should not go unpunished.

Yeah, agreed cloud is bad. I have one question though. Who is going to keep updating bloody ubuntu or any other linux distro along with all the packages that may break? Who is going to enable automatic database backups or do backups with 1

The only way this could work would be to force OS vendors to have "trusted" DNS servers and ban the use of any custom setting. Then again that would be a nightmare for large corporates that have customised internal DNSs, so I don&

Nothing special from me. Just a small app ( https://how-you-spell.in/ ) that translates a word to the phonetic alphabet. My full name is quite long and I’m always struggling to spell my details over the phone.

The market is horrible at the moment. All the big tech corps are laying off thousands of people who have bigger potential at landing in a job as they have those big names in their CV. I'm in similar shoes at the moment although I'

Sounds very interesting. Especially 5% for dividends tax sounds like heaven compared to the different tax bands in UK. I'll double check with my accountant there. It may have a potential. I'm just a bit scared of Greek gov. Tradit
