Obviously, but being exposed to real issues first hand will certainly give you a better insight on why it should be fixed.

Some kind of reality check.

Netflix in Ireland (and Uk roughly the same price) : 6.99 € (or 7.99)

I'm sorting my day out when in the morning shower. There's no better place / moment to think.

No distraction, just your mind clearing up the midst.

I'm with you there.

I got enough knowledge to be considered a techie, but I don't have a passion for programming (although I enjoy the challenge), it's a mean to an end to me.

I feel a bit overwhelmed when people start getting hyped over stuff such as stating typing vs dynamic // how cool Haskell is and the whole shebang.

I'm in a position which sits in between, half peoples skill - half technical.

The issue is that I'm working (not for long anymore, I'll be free in a few days) for an outsourcing group and it sucks to get stuck.

I'm gonna try to get back in the game and see how it goes from there.

Why not firing him in the first place ?

If he's useless as a dev and hasn't the knack for management, then he is useless (in this position).

Business wise that's the only thing that makes sense.

Plus the security tends to be lousier.

Well it's ArsTechnica, not Disney Channel.

A bit immature but nothing really offensive.

[Shaking intensifies]

Seems like it was a site phishing prompting him to call the number when (obviously) unable to log in.

Hiring in the near future ?

A bit steep indeed.

A starter @ 15/20 quids would be reasonable.

Oooh that sounds familiar.

Muryza, fuck yeah ?

You don't build customer trust with good salesmen, you do it when you fix the issue they're having.

See Amazon.

Regarding the customer service part, I'm not sure to understand what's the logic behind such a thought process.

When you're a giant corp, you can afford to be slacking on CS. But when you're a small structure with a limited amount of stability and cash flow, why would you take the risk to screw your PR ?

I'm biaised, I'm doing specialised tech support for a Giant so I it's obvious to me.

I've been looking to move to a smaller company (Ie a startup) and I found not so many positions, most being standard CS and nothing technical which is surprising. Might be because I'm in Europe though.
