I agree. I always work for startup type companies and they end up getting acquired and the process changes from what worked great (enough to get acquired) to shackles and mud. I hold on as long as I can and move to another startup type company.

Big companies suck the soul and passion out of you. You really have to be careful. Any passionate developer that wants to get out of development was most likely crushed by large company process.
My father gave me sizeable sum of money when I was starting my business. Enough to live several years without worrying about income.

I started to make 25 - 75% more profits just because I had the luxury of saying no and avoid orders that didn't move my company towards the goals I wanted it to go. Usually the ability to stay relaxed and equal in negotiations was enough to convince customers that I was a success. Everything was so much easier even when I didn't have to touch the money.
Ask HN: Simple screen recorder for Mac?
I’m looking for a really simple screen recorder to use to keep clients updated on local development. It needs to record smooth video (so react interactivity doesn’t look janky), and preferably make it very easy to share those videos.

Any recommendations?

> Not really. Germany is small enough that it doesn't really matter if you get it from a German or a Polish warehouse (that sits directly behind the border). (Amazon Prime deliveries and similar stuff excluded - but that's a very small percentage)

Incidentally, that's not exactly true. It's about a 6-8 hour drive from Berlin to the southwest by car, that would be around 10 hours or more by track, and only if you're not stuck in traffic and the place is right on the autobahn. Distance to the polish border adds an extra hour or two. This does not include any delay for handling packages in a distribution center. Next-day delivery would be very hard to achieve consistently from any location in the border-regions of Germany. There's a reason why one of the largest of Amazons German distribution centers is located in Bad Hersfeld, right here https://www.google.de/maps/place/Amazon+Logistik+GmbH+-+FRA1...

It's very much THE central point when it comes to traffic in Germany: Intersection of the A4, A7, A5/A6 giving you excellent routes into each part of Germany and close vicinity to the population centers in the Rhine and Ruhr valley

The problem is women in top positions. That is why companies don't go crazy to hire women because they are not cheaper

That is not why women earn 20% less than men. It is because men work longer hours over longer periods of time than women do.
How'd that resolve for them?
I have this problem as well. I would see people who sit in meetings and send emails do very low-effort work all day, and think they were working hard. When a former manager started cracking down on developers walking outside to cool down and think or spending any idle time, I started putting the similar amount of thought and mental effort into my job, to get 8 full hours of 'work' done without burning out. During this period, I got basically nothing that wasn't super routine done. Any minor hinge in development would take days or weeks to work through instead of a few hours. Said manager was perplexed and began complaining constantly about how the pace of development was slowing down and that milestones were being missed.

You've missed my main point: the position of an economy in the list is highly dependent on exchange rates.

Back to my haircut example: if GBP is now worth 20% less against EUR than it was before, does that mean that the relative value of a haircut in Croydon vs one in Fontainbleu has gone down by 20%. Of course not: their relative value, whatever it was, is unchanged. It's only how we count that value (i.e. how we calculate and compare GDP across countries) that has changed. But that's an artifact of measurement.

In this particular case, the difference between #5 on the list and #6 is less than 1%. But that's much smaller than the drop in the value of GBP vs. a trade-weighted basked of currencies. And the UK economy is still growing in GBP terms.

So it's clear that the change is more driven by exchange rates than by a change in economic activity (i.e. there aren't fewer goods and services being produced in the UK). This is my main point.

BTW - I'm not defending the UK. Just pointing out that GDP is a far from perfect measure of economic output.

Where did you get the info that there is no property tax in Eastern Europe?

Most EE countries do have a property tax, in fact it can be quite sizable if your 50k Soviet era apartment gets appraised for the same tax base price that the luxury 500k condominium next door.

The property tax bill can be a huge problem for retirees who live on Soviet era pensions in old houses next to new developments.

Incidentally this is the problem that Prop. 13 in California set to solve initially.
Indeed, somehow not surprising though.
> As a developer I’ve often had trouble figuring out if a job would be Snow Crashy or not, and been seduced by promises of engaging work only to find myself ferreting out bugs on some enterprise CMS.

Some jobs are more engaging and some are less. In my experience, all dev jobs involve some time spent doing things that I don't consider fun, but the company needs done. Employers do usually sell the work as interesting and engaging for the person with the right skills.

Companies do tend to value the people that willingly take on the ugly stuff and get it done. Sometimes (but not always) those people are paid more. I think there are ways to make it more engaging, by studying the value of the less fun work and working to fix it. This might mean developing interests in and spending time doing some non-coding skills. And certainly there are also some jobs that don't have much to redeem them.

Does anyone have advice for identifying what portion of the work will be engaging during hiring interviews?
Preferential treatment being possible has nothing to do with it. The only reason random ISPs don't offer restricted packages of sites/services now is that they are forbidden to do so by an FCC ruling. It is not technically complicated, but it is illegal.

Because it's unethical to agree to work for a rate you're not actually willing to work for. She wasted a lot of people's time and resources to bring her on board for those three weeks.

You didn’t read it well. You are misrepresenting what he wrote and propagating lies.

“Higher neuroticism” and “natural aptitude” doesn’t mesh. Maybe you don’t understand what “aptitude” or “neuroticism” means, but neuroticism is a clinical term. It means the tendency to have negative feelings. It is entirely orthogonal to aptitude. So your conclusion is false.

You are confusing “traits” with “aptitude”. Again, maybe you don’t understand what the term “aptitude” means. Nowhere does he say women have less aptitude for programming. Traits are different from aptitude.

He never said men have a wider bell curve of abilities. He said men have a different distribution of traits than women. You clearly didn’t comprehend what he wrote.

Please read what he wrote more carefully. You are a clear example of how fake news propagates. Taking a precisely written article and then twisting what was written and then believing you actually understood it, and the propagating your misunderstanding, is exactly what causes fake news.

As I said, I don’t agree with what James Damore wrote, but I actually do understand what he wrote precisely. The biggest problem with his article is that people like you don’t read what he wrote properly and then argue on points he never actually made.

Interesting. How do you measure the aspect ratio? By actually measuring the height and width of the visible part of the display with a ruler or measuring tape, or via some software utility / command? I have a 14" display laptop, and would like to know the aspect ration, hence asking.

The author may not have intended it as such, but what I read is a excellent argument for a shorter work week.

She writes that if she won the lottery she would still program, but fewer hours. And I wonder how her work related injuries would look if she had worked say six or five hours per day. I'm guessing a shorter work week would have been cheaper for both her and her employer and that she would have been more efficient at her job. There is certainly a price to be paid for working long hours, and for each additional hour you have a lower output. There are many companies that don't get this and (hopefully unconsciously) treat their employees like disposables. Work 'em to the bone and replace 'em when they break. Companies can easily form a toxic culture around working long hours.

I guess my point is that most people would probably be happier if they traded a little income for a little free time. And they may just find that it makes sense financially as well, both for individual and company.

DCO is still important in libraries. If you have a large-ish library of mostly unrelated code (think lodash/underscore), DCO is pretty darn useful for the end users: you don't need to weigh in filesize (pun intended) as much when developing new features.

They are basically saying that they talked with Amazon management and they were open to listen but not to act in order to raise their salaries and add bonuses. The reasons why they are asked it's because they have to work nights, Sundays and have forced overtime.

The economy in Italy is really bad, most of my friends don't have jobs and those who do usually have ones who are just average pay (18k euros/year). From what I read here (an Italian newspaper: http://www.lastampa.it/2017/03/14/edizioni/vercelli/qui-ad-a...) salaries are 1100-1200/month AFTER taxes. My dad delivers fresh fish to restaurants, he starts working at 4am every day until 1pm the next day. He works Monday through Saturday. His pay is slightly higher than that simply because he's been there for 20+ years and is now responsible for a few other things.

At least once a month there would be a strike while I was in high school, whether that was the professors, the bus drivers, the school janitors, the delivery people, etc. I don't think this is gonna be any more useful than those strikes; the difference is that Amazon can fire them, while those other strikes were "safe" because they are all state jobs which you can not be removed from. Curious to see how this plays out.
I'll venture a guess, most devs, most applications, do not exist to give their users delightfully crafted UI and UX with handmade animations.

I really like it. I didn't try it yet but it feel like I would enjoy this points system for waking up on time. I noticed that over the summer, when I was excited about my work (and trying to meet deadlines), waking up on time was not an issue. Now that I'm back to going to school, it's easier to snooze/sleep in. Also, it's easier to go to bed at more random times.

What if you could also collect some points by going to bed at approximately the same time every night? Check the accelerometer for movement at the set time (example 8pm) and every fib(n)'th minute after that to make sure the person is sleeping?

No: we already know it's possible. The point is that the FCC is supposed to step in and stop it. But now under Ajit Pai, we don't have an FCC anymore—at least not as previously understood.

Therefore, it's a great move, as it illustrates the dangers that we will face if Ajit Pai gets away with this.
> We also need to put pressure on them so simplify and close loopholes in the 400 page net neutrality document.

What 400 page net neutrality document?

If you are referring to the 300-400 page document that contains the 2015 Open Internet order that Pai and others have been fond of waving around as an example of how the 2015 rules were massive, complicated, micromanaging overregulation, they were not being entirely honest.

That document actually consists of a long discussion of net neutrality from a historical, legal, and policy standpoint and an explanation of why they picked the rules that they did, a long response to issues raised in the millions of comments received during the public comment period, and the actual regulations.

The actual regulations are about 8 pages.
Honestly, this exudes arrogance, even if the intention is completely free of ill will. It's better to say a clear NO ("I will not add this feature" or "I cannot implement this at this time"), and let them figure if they want to pay/use something else on their own, than to talk down to users.

Aehm yes these are independent qualities. And i didn’t state they are connected.
But both (and other business stuff as mentioned that doesn’t come automatically just by being a great dev)are helpful if you wanna bootstrap a small company / freelance business without external funding. You can be lucky and be so well paid for being a so great dev that you never need to save, but it’s good to be able to save when anything doesn’t work out as good as dreamed.

I state you need more that tech skills to be successful.
If you don’t have these other skills, better keep in a “safe” employment. But also then i recommend to work on some of these, like at least the negotiation stuff. It will help you.
Semantic difference between default and named exports is that as a user of the module you are forced to choose a name for the default export, and these names will likely be different across different usages of the module. For linking units within one project, this is a bad thing, because you should be consistent in naming your things. But for modules that are published to the global NPM, maybe why not.
