Jerks label people.

Instead focus on behaviours, I've seen frustrated people raising genuine problems labelled as a jerk.

For example, is the guy who picks up on issues in code reviews the one who is a jerk?

What are they hating Jira compared to.

Jira is fine. Admittedly, I've seen some installations that are slow AF but that isn't the problem.

Current worse; TargetProcess with a 9 month development process.

The worst thing about your CV is the non-chronological layout and the second item the "University of Bedfordshire"

A lazy recruiter will see that as a watermark as your education and assume the rest is amateur stuff. This makes it look like you have less than one year experience.

For some companies/recruiters they often like to see month and year for each position. It can be a red flag as it looks like hiding of career gaps.

Lack of personal statement is a lesser problem. Recruiters won't necessarily care, but it makes a hiring managers job harder. The job positions should be seen as supporting evidence for the claims in that statement.

That said, despite these problems, the jobs market is at the slowest it's been for years. Particular for more senior roles.

My company has a hiring freeze despite being profitable and growing and we're cutting costs to avoid making people redundant.

I'm UK based and have reviewed hundreds if not thousands of CVs.

REST is such a poorly understood term.

gRPC services are by design client-server likely built in a stateless way. It uses HTTP and exploit the same tools that REST would use for layering such as proxies, etc.

Not sure which parts make it more complex.

gRPC is still over HTTP right?

Most of the other arguments are weak too. I'm not convinced gRPC is any better understood.

I'm a Development Director and I manage a team of 74. My job is consists of a lot of meetings and other interruptions.

ChatGPT and other AI tools have lead to me increasing both my writing output increasing and having enough time to write code between those. That said, I'm not writing new features, more just refactoring and fixing up shit stuff.

I didn't take that away from that paper, I thought waterfall was a bad one and royce presented an alternative.

But the truth is the people who advocate waterfall in this day and age, either never have never actually done it or have some rose-tinted nostalgia.

Crunching for weeks on end to hit a deadline sucks. Especially when some manager beats you up for not following a specification that makes no sense.

Thiel's lucky was PayPal. It projected him from very wealthy to super wealthy.

Subsequently, he's used the resources that that lucky has afforded him.

London really cleaned up in the 90s. There is still visible homeless, but nothing like US cities with homeless camps. Officially, there are a lot of "homeless" but far fewer "unsheltered"
