The latest in a long tradition, it used to be that you'd have to teach the offshore person how to do your job, so they could replace you for cheaper. Now we are just teaching the robots instead.

of course you can, theres lots of healthy ways of engaging with and using social media...

but her emails

I read it as something completely different scanning HN

Given it was so obvious that the team had bottled lightening with this creation, it stands as a monument to the failure of bean counter driven programming. Surely any creative person looking at the quality of this work would have kept this team in the groove. It's not like they didnt have the money.

They could easily have made the cash back on some reality thing that cost nothing but made bank.

not in the UK. its an extra couple of quid for the delivery.

nope, they can do a deal with the Russians.

My 9 y/o getting shot at school isnt something I want on my risk register.

its a title that prevents a brilliant engineer who would make a terrible manager from having to become a manager in order to get a payrise.

no geospatial data types!
