I did not call their app ugly out of the blue, they are the ones who brought that up on their own. This small thing called context might be lost on you.

The developer has every right to do what they did just as I have every right to call out their bullshit. Why don’t you fuck off?

Or people like what they like. Imagine that.

I did say “almost always”. Also you showed (somewhat morally ambiguous haha) problem solving and resourcing—two highly sought after skills.

Let’s also not discount the fact that negotiation is a skill itself, and you were learning from your stepsister who sounds like a skilled negotiator. If you had to negotiate another raise in-person I would bet you could think back to the cards and knock it out.

You’re right, being a bad negotiator does not always correlate to being a bad communicator. But being a good negotiator almost always correlates to being a good communicator.

Good negotiation skills = good communication skills. Communication is a skill that 80% of the engineers I meet don’t have. Don’t be upset that someone negotiated a higher salary than you when they were hired, you could have tried just the same.

What an abysmal quote. It is completely false, and does nothing to encourage intelligent people to go into teaching which we desperately need.

It means take the fork and push stuff into the trash. This isn’t rocket science here.

I love how this “article” completely glosses over the fact that the northeast/Midwest gets devastating snowstorms that cripple entire states for days at a time. These “polar vortexes” are clearly becoming more severe and more common as the earth’s weather continues to spiral out of control.

So the options are move somewhere where it’s hell on earth for a portion of the year, move somewhere where it’s a frozen wasteland for a portion of the year, or move somewhere temperate along the coast which is also going to be impacted by climate change.

Author should get off their high horse.

I can’t speak for who you’re replying to but having to maintain my phone like that sounds awful. I have my computer that I can endlessly tinker with—I want my phone to be a phone and just work.

I don’t see how it would be especially if you pair it with a questionable asking if they treat all former employees like this.

Pretty silly take. APIs supplement RPA, they don’t “disrupt” it. Additionally, most B2B companies outside of tech-land have 0 interest in creating APIs. Are you going to wait for the API that never comes, or do RPA?

Also the whole “chrome has no API” is wrong. Ever heard of selenium or puppeteer?
