Oh I meant it the other way around. Statistically, employees who take counter-offers from their current employer usually leaves anyways after a while.

Don't take it, you'll be happy for 6 month and then want to leave again. It's not really the salary that wants you to leave 😛

Oh wow, seems like you guys like it ;)

Interesting to hear that core count is actually that influential on dev tasks.

It is common sense, but again the question was if it was noticeable compared to Intel's offerings. The pricing will be hard to beat as well.

Looking forward to the reviews and benchmarks, and the ryzen 2 might be a good deal!

No one mentioning SICP, The Structure and interpretation of Computer Programs?

It's a classic, but not about writing code itself though ;)

It's distributed as a binary.

So if Apple has a new version, it can't just be a module, you have to download the whole thing every time.

If it's 10 min, why not do it and give it to him? He'll get the credit, and you'll get a beer?

Also, these services read messages sent from you and your friends services.

So even if you've not written it down, the other party was probably talking to someone else. And the graph traversal gives the advertisement back to you, since you two were talking right afterwards.

Metadata ftw

Send your findings to regulatory authorities from your CEOs email :)

Interns have no business being in prod anyways. Leaving an intern home alone with the keys is rightly a bad idea.

I've seen both useless interns and senior devs/architects so I'm under no spell believing that everyone who passes screening is an awesome dev just waiting to be uncovered.

But let's say they break even, I.e fuckup less than they contribute, I'm willing to reward them for it. A bit of a strain on seniors, but if you eat your young, you'll grow old really fast in this business.

My point is still this; if you don't pay them, why would they have any incentive to do anything _except_ slack off and do the bare minimum required to get a positive letter of recommendation that you'll write just to get rid of them? I'm genuinely curious.

Our company seems to be in good shape rolling in new hires, some with experience, some without. We lose a few, and often it's not the ones we would like that makes it, but it's a gamble everytime.

Welcome to the real world, where running a business is an expensive and risky thing to do.

Hiring people with a zero experience in the field is a gamble, and everyone know that.

That internships shouldn't be paid I find a worrisome idea. What if something an intern does creates tremendous value for the company?

How would someone in an internship be motivated to share any knowledge to your company if the pay is shit anyways?

You do the work while you're sitting at your desk in your dead-end job.

Use the technology in personal projects, and deliver it to clients to battle test what you learn.

Full stack developer right there!

Stay strong, it'll hopefully be all right!

Clojure and Overtone! Code your own music.

Yes, even developers of the Apollo 11 software had to throw some hacks in there :)

I charge three hours initial rate on weekends. Even if it's a 10 min job.

And double(or more) rate per hour after that.

Put that on the invoice come Monday, and most customers stay away from calling you on weekends.

Take care of your spare time people!

And it doesn't go into an endless crash loop when you try to copy something.

There are options here, like a cheap Mac mini build server, or some of the cloud build services combined with Test flight.

I haven't tried it, and from what I hear, it wont be as smooth an experience as the real thing.

And these service providers also want to get payed, so you'll end up paying somewhere eventually.

Spam emails have errors in them to filter out false positives.

The email is the first part of the scam, and you don't want people who start getting cold feet when you try to get them to transfer money.

It's better to let the stupid self-identify by not catching mails with outrageous claims and obvious errors.

Sorry guys, adjusting to a new life at a Microsoft based company. I was sitting there thinking this guy was crazy. 😅

Haha, no.

I have the one with performance base. So it is just straight grey.

It's a quirkily designed piece of machinery, but I've enjoyed using it so far.

But the headphone jack, Microsoft, come on!

Thank you,

Yes liquid damage is outside warranty. And I heard rumors that MS charges $450+ to have it replaced, so looking around is worth it.

Let's pray that someone has learned how to repair it, and are willing to ignore iFixit's 1 out of 10 in repairabillity.

This!

There is some special magic about transcending space and influence a different machine somewhere else for the first time.

Some smuck key account manager or something.

I guess he just sees two guys in a room with laptops and thinks "computer men help me". Because that's all IT, including the CTO does all day anyways right?

Wrong business circle.

Someone who pays a fair price probably has richer friends.

Find that circle instead.

It'll be fine! You're gonna rock!

European company that were just bought out for 1.2 billion € so shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Maybe they all went on vacation to celebrate or something.

How much you get paid as a freelancer boils down to your negotiating skills(which you'll have to learn) and the saturation of market for your particular skillet.

In a employee setting, your only real negotiating tactic is to quit or show offers from other companies.

As a side note, as a freelancer you can take other forms of benefits than money. Just put it in the contract.

As examples, I had a free car lease for a year for doing development for a auto retailer. And I still receive payments from one of my other projects where I negotiated a % cut of revenue for 5 years.

Thank you so much guys. I'll pass your tips on to him.

I think he never made the leap to managing or projects positions, or he just like to write code.

I also think that he will eventually get there with some experience in the interview process. Which there was many tips during wk61.

With his new skills I'm confident he will be attractive as an experienced developer with updated knowledge ;)

If everything is important, then nothing is important.
