Where's the value? Of course the brand and domain have value but that is not intrinsic. If you can see early on that fighting for the brand and domain is going to 'cost' you more than you can afford (in time, money and effort) you may want to instead invest a fraction of that cost into a rebranding effort as long as you still have control over the brand.

IOW, choose your battles.

Happy [early] Independence Day fellow Americans.
I've seen offer for senior .NET developers for 20.000€/year before taxes and going through outsourcing companies.

20.000/year is 15.000/year after taxes.

Right. I think though it takes meeting someone truly addicted to gambling before this really sets in, how devastating a true addiction to gambling is.
It's not that they are bad languages, it's that they are the ones that everyone knows, so I don't believe that there are open positions on those languages that nobody wants, unless the money is obscenely low (which it often is).
Indeed, my girlfriend, a Brazilian, is teaching me Portuguese. I have real trouble pronouncing the kind of implied "m" and the end of "pão", without which, instead of meaning bread, turns out to mean penis/cock/dick. "Eu como pão" is something I have to be very careful with.

I did use it two years ago, and it was mature enough if we followed these constrains:

* do not rely on Xamarin Forms, except for some menial configuration ui

* do not link native libraries, because fixing them after i.e Xcode upgrade can be PITA

* understand the difference in code-sharing with PCL Libraries and with multiple project sharing the same source folder, both have their advantages and disadvantages (PCL is usually stricter, with smaller api surface supporting more platforms, with sharing source you achieve greater code-reuse, but will have to use IFDEF)

I would probably choose it for a new project, but I really like C# and really dislike Objective-C :-)
No, people suck at it - just look at your first sentence. There are a lot of likely reasons, my favorite being evolutionary pressure: 10,000 years ago two men see the tall grass twitch, while one scrambles up a nearby tree the other considers the cost in energy expenditure to flee vs the likelihood of a tiger attAAARGH.

HackRF can't do it, because it's only half-duplex. But there are plenty of full duplex SDR devices - check out UmTRX and USRP B210. We're also developing a really tiny high performance SDR specifically for LTE - http://XTRX.io
I live in Spain (am Dutch); even more; I live in Andalusia. For me that's better, besides getting people to work. We cannot find people at all for programming or our brewery. Everyone around us is unemployed, however they either a) do not speak English; we speak Spanish, but a lot of our clients do not b) do not want to work c) are foreign and have no papers to work. It's quite horrible. And it's not for lack of trying; we have been trying for at least 5 years. In my experience it has nothing to do with payment. This is just limited to Andalusia ofcourse; my colleague says it's better up north, however some people I met from other parts and who have companies complain about the same thing.

Then another issue with the country is the extremely hard time you have in hiring someone ; paperwork, you cannot fire them even if they are crap etc. And the paperwork to get grants for hiring people (which are there) is incredible. We have a company in PT as well and it's quite different there. The gov needs to take their finger out. Luckily we have a very helpful (Spanish) mayor who loves entrepreneurs and helps us with whatever, but he also shakes his head when talking about hiring people locally.
As mentioned above, half duplex of HackRF would be a limiting factor, unfortunately.
Speaking of UEs (aka LTE modems) - there is an open-source implementation add well. See srsUE and srsLTE.

Totally agree, i wasn't defending low salaries at all, just sharing my insider experience of the reasons why people is leaving Spain.
As a sysadmin, I'm putting my neck on the line anytime something breaks.

In many years of doing this type of work, I've noticed this fear of your neck being on the line is a myth. Heads rarely roll merely because something goes wrong.

I've also noticed almost every sysadmin believes that myth, and it can make us very difficult to relate to or even work with. Ironically, that's a problem that may actually cause you to lose your job.
There is a real problem with incentives in science strongly encouraging bad science. It is a publish or perish world, so every researcher needs to be finding some (apparantly) statistically significant result on a regular basis. Quantity is rewarded more than quality. Being super careful with the stats makes it much harder to get publishable results but doesn't significantly increase the rewards (i.e. academic credit). So the culture tends to sloppy stats making garbage or weak results look strong. And there is no academic credit for being open with data, and more of a risk that someone will discredit your results if you are open, so that is rare as well.
There is a hope that 3.5GHz Citizen Band will make it possible for smaller companies to run LTE.

I don't get it, by your own admission the time isn't right to monetize on the domain and yet you expect a 7 figure value for it, what will they be paying for then? In another post you say something about selling your house and the responsibilities of wife and kids.. Are you really willing to put all of that at stake just to retain control over some 'perceived' value. Like I said, I don't get it.

If this theory is true, one needs to take it up with women: In my country they are the majority of book buyers and yes, many of them would probably respond to the memoir angle.

Men would not.
Just because UK leaves the EU, that doesn't mean it won't still welcome foreign workers (especially from the EU).

When I was last on Iceland, I met a handful of professionals working in software engineering and engineering - all but one of them was from the EU (a few from Spain). Anecdote, sure, but I got the impression a lot of businesses on Iceland hired various foreign workers (not to the exclusion of Icelanders, just to fill in a shortage of skilled workers - perceived or real). And then there's Norway, which participates via the EEC, but isn't an EU member. And the UK has made some noise about getting a similar deal.
> around 36000 euros

I know a lot of employees or freelancers making a lot more working for companies in Malaga or companies elsewhere; more said it but get projects abroad; worked well for us. A problem here is that you need USPs because in Portugal people are working for a lot less than in Spain, all speak English and very willing to take whatever work. Also less rules; easy to fire people in the first few years.

> companies are scared of the mere possibility of their programmers leaving

where does that come from?

> Tech stacks tend to be years behind San Francisco,

That is a problem? I would say that's kind of an advantage? Most programmers would find it more of a problem to learn new stuff all the time.
Hmm, so this is a case where a Git repository, with all its commit history, is the final product. Would it be feasible to develop this product within a different Git repository? How would one best do that? Is such a repository also available on GitHub?
> you cannot fire them even if they are crap etc.

I highly doubt that, it has not been easier to fire someone in Spain since the latests reforms.

Not taking into account that there is always a period were the employer and the employee can cancel the contracts without any duty. Normally 6 months

When were those because I was discussing this 'recently' with my lawyer on the coast? Yes the 6 months is true and I compare it with NL where firing is also hard but it's very straighforward how it works. Here I haven't been able to get it explained in that fashion. So far people look at us with pity when we talk about hiring people legally. Note; we are a tiny company.
Of course not. You get paid to serve the company, and they aren't interested in people who aren't going to make them more than what they pay.

You should always remember that a company will fire you the moment they think they can make a penny more that way, plan and act accordingly.

The computer industries go through cycles of amnesia. Every new generation of comp-sci grads bears some responsibility for this amnesia->re-invention cycle - by ignoring the lessons of "the previous generation, who are clearly antiquated and out-dated by virtue of being 'old'", new grads put themselves in the precarious situation of having to re-invent the very solutions they were ignoring in the first place. This is a cultural phenomenon - a clash of generation-based prejudice - and not at all technological.

Manage developers - and the hiring of such - for more than a decade and you will see this pattern occurring. Youth gain amnesia through prejudice, and then re-invent the technology they ignored in the process. This happens time and again.

I would advise anyone to stay away from Lisbon regarding housing as there's some kind of bubble over here because of all the tourism. The rest of the country has saner prices, so if you don't really need to live in Lisbon, stay away from it..

Regarding locals, we have a problem which is that when daily workers leave Lisbon, you can only find the tourists looking at each other..
I wanted to make the same point.

Many large software companies have very similar structure.

Since I had personal experience working in these companies here what I found as problem:

- Management has decision making power.

- Management has ability to control $$ (bonus allocation, etc.)

- Management has access to more information than employees on "individual contributor" track

It is important to note that system work up to mid-level managers. I.e., it is works well when there is "team lead" and "manager". Manager ensures that the team is not bothered by politics and get all necessary resources while team lead ensures that things are done.

But when you come to mid-level and up even if the pay is comparable, the life is much better for managers. For example, if you are in 40s it is important to have job security. Senior managers and VPs will know when are layoffs are coming or certain groups will be sacked (since they have access to more informations). They can prepare for it. If you are "software architect", you are in the blind until the day of layoffs.
These were the best I could find in the short time I had.

What I am missing in the article and in all discussions here is: Why not pro-actively train people? Looking 2 months for someone with some kind of certification for "agile" is already a fourth of the time required to train someone who is already working for the client (numbers taken from the article).

If one is willing to pay 220k and cannot find anyone while most job offers (according to comments here) max out at 36k, make a deal with a current employee: "We pay for training, after 2 years you get a bonus of 72k and we double your salary." Company does not make a loss even if the dev leaves after 2 years, it has built the experience in-house and it had 16 months to disseminate the newly acquired knowledge to other employees.

The mindset that people must already have knowledge about some specific technology and universities accommodating employers there is exactly why we have so many code monkeys who don't know anything about CS finishing with a degree in CS who, after a few years, realize that their knowledge is basically worthless because the IT world has moved on and other languages or stacks are now en vogue.

Interestingly enough, this may be the kind of scenario that you may face in London if the UK really leaves the EU and shut down the free movement of workers, ie, being unable to find skilled workers inside your own borders..

Wide gamut is not enough, we also need HDR (that is Rec 2020 color space with Perceptual Quantizer). This will allow to show much brighter (and darker) colors.
I've been considering applying to your company, any advice / comments about working for them?
For a while my former employer used a Spanish software consultancy for second level support on an open source solution; they were happy to work with us because we paid well [0] and didn't argue on every bill like their other (mostly south American I think) clients did.

[0]: my boss told me literally to tell them: contract is fine, except for the hourly rate, I should tell them he would not accept to be associated with such a cheap rate so they would have to add 20% to their prices.

I use this now that I hire through upwork as well. Espescially when you hire across the globe you get chances to build good relationships for peanuts compared to around here. (Oh, works with kids as well: you can buy many lifetime friends before they become teenagers.)

I actually thought that comment was (probably accidentally) great. On one hand it pokes fun at the current feminist discourse without being crass, while at the same time it's actually true: the thinking at the time was quite sexist and these documents are necessarily a product of that, and we shouldn't let admiration blind us to it.
When me and my colleagues are tearing our hair out over a problem, I'll often exclaim "These computer things are hard!". It's delivered both as a joke, and also a reminder that it's okay to take a while to figure out the problem in a particularly complex system. Eases the tension a touch.
In other words, pay differentials are more closely related to locale than to the amount or quality of work produced.

Awesome series from Eric Elliott!
I am very excited for NixOS, for me. In the professional IT sphere, outside of DevOps, this is so far away it is depressing. I spend my weekends with QubesOS, NixOS, and maybe in the future GuixSD and SubgraphOS as my therapy.

I have started to look into a career transition into DevOps (please do not laugh, feel free to downvote) not because of how cool it looks or the increasing culture around it, but I need a break from the mainstream of throw everything and anything on the wall until it sticks without rigor, or your time is cheap automation is a very, very low priority since we pay you to do the tasks we dislike as more serious engineers (who also build some systems with checklists).
Median wages have been stagnant for 30 years in the west - since the Reagan / Thatcher era. Any person or study claiming another opinion can look at the birth rate of natives and just stop there.

Environmental protections have certainly increased in the West - our lakes are no longer on fire.

But considering the population density of Asia and the increase in energy consumption, Mother Earth would be better off with all us gone - capitalism is not helping.

As a Westerner, it shouldn't be my job to be cajoled into letting someone else win, based on flimsy arguments like this. You'd have to have been brainwashed to do such a thing.

China will certainly win - should they create a society like Taiwan x 40.
It definitely has to do with low salaries: by Spanish standards, I'd say that's a good job offer. Sure, the range advertised is too broad to be useful, but at least there is one; a good one, too, considering that most tech jobs here are on the 18-30k range.
Then you're conflating two different transformations. Squashing 241,0,0 and 255,0,0 is the transformation from P3, as performed on that image. As I stated in the last bit of my comment, the transformation from sRGB to the display's native color space, as performed on images without a color profile, CSS colors, etc. [edit: and of course images tagged as sRGB!] is far more subtle.
I recommend everybody to start with the BotKit library.
