Um, do you know what Innu feed their dogs?

Hey I'm the last one to use as an example. I just ate two chicken patties, 6 donuts and am starting on a bottle of scotch. But my yearly checkup and blood test always come back normal.
Hi,
This is code by someone who routinely trolls Debian. I doubt we want
any more poisonous upstreams in Debian, so I at least would prefer this
never get packaged.
Cheers,
The first is to have a great deal of money - far more than you could possibly think is necessary.
1. How much will it take.
2. Quadruple it.
3. Add a zero.
They said that to Mark Zuckerberg also.
Zuckerberg had two things this one doesn't - a product and users.
Contradictions here:
Pay them as sub-contractors
... and
Have a senior programmer mentor a low-level programmer that would include code reviews and/or doing some lower level support for the senior programmer.
Even if they normally telecommute, that doesn't make them a sub-contractor. What makes them an employee are things like being mentored, being given detailed instructions on how to complete the task, etc.
Here's what the IRS says:
How do instructions and training affect the employment status of a worker?
Instructions and training provided to a worker are important factors to be considered. If you give the worker detailed instructions on how work is to be done or train the worker to perform tasks in a certain way, the worker may be an employee. A subcontractor does not need or receive detailed instructions or training on how the work should be done.
hey, it reduces end-of-life welfare costs by killing off the population more quickly. The "food pyramid" is good policy if you're a sociopathic bankrupt program.
I got a full blood panel before and after doing a ketosis diet for four months. All my numbers were much better, but to be succinct my total relative risk metric for coronary heart disease (1.0 is average) fell from 0.8 to 0.3. I was using a half gallon of heavy cream and several cups of coconut oil every week. Some bacon and steaks too. Plenty of nuts and cheese.
Most people see similar results. None of these blood tests are new science. All of these studies could have been done in 1980. I wonder if they were.
t plays up as great comedy in the movie, Office Space, when the character says you don't want the customers talking directly to the engineers. You actually don't want that.
Sure you do. The person who wrote the bug or badly implemented feature gets first-hand knowledge of how it impacts the customer, rather than filtered through someone who is just playing "broken telephone" and doesn't have a working knowledge of how the thing actually works.
They also get to find out that 3/4 of the "must-have" features that "the customer requested" were not customer requests.
Besides, many support contracts provide for direct access to an engineer in those cases that require / pay for it. And as you lack the necessary experience, you don't know what to ask.
The customer doesn't expect programmers t be wearing suits and ties, so don't worry about the impression they make, as long as they don't have Tourettes. "Ah, but this one isn't a people person!" Then you should have hired someone else - you don't have the luxury, as a start-up, to hire people who can't serve multiple roles.
They're worried about the word "piss"? Heck, piss (or its variant, pisseth) appears at least half a dozen times in the King James Bible.
Oh well
I have a masters in CS but not enough practical exposure to professional software development. I'd like to start my own software product line and I'd like to avoid outsourcing as much as I can.
Since you're getting into something you by your own admission lack domain experience in, unless you've won the Powerball and have a lot more money than brains, anyone you interview will realize that you're going nowhere and hence even the short-term prospects are, at best, poor.
At least with outsourcing, you can BS them as much as they BS you so they won't walk out the door shaking their head.
Bonne chance, 'cuz you're gonna need it.
