I think the only proper response at such a moment from me is..



Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.....................

I see you are one of the 102% of basement dwellers who struggles with Poe's Law.

Woosh ;-)

You can't manage your way to good code, and you can't manage all 9 month projects into 1 month by hiring more people.
Any management action to alleviate the former will worsen the latter: you can have stringent checks on the quality of your code, but all management can do is to say "not good enough, do it better", further slipping the schedule.

Thank you mods for modding this comment funny.

There is a pretty long list actually of places with serious inflation in recent times. It's not unlikely that there are slashdot posters from those areas, who have indeed experienced a currency collapse or at least runaway inflation in their lifetime.

Damn, I thought this was going to be the last forking warning against posting Bitcoin stories on Slashdot.

It's still a better measure than not trying to measure it at all

I find that 5 friends from a non-existent social circle are even more secure.

Because there's a risk of someone misinterpreting that statement as implying that parents and children or mothers and children don't need bonding - a quick few googled hits about the benefits of bonding (or risks of not bonding).
There's more out there, but I suggest to go talk to a midwife and/or doula if you are genuinely interested in knowing more about the subject.

A good developer would be up and running with a language that's in a similar paradigm as a known language in a matter of days or hours not weeks. What takes weeks is getting used to the new company's domain, existing code base conventions. Knowing the language doesn't help with that.

You can have your *phone* in your briefcase in your car.

I'm willing to bet many of those companies are perfectly fine, once you get past HR's incredibly myopic view.

Every time HR gets a new buzzword to give reason to reject your application because it doesn't mention said buzzword.

This really irks me these days. Most job offers are buzzword bingo with a long list of "absolutely required" niche technology du jour stuff, none of which are particularly hard to pick up if you're a half-decent developer, but you will NOT get past the HR drones because you don't tick the boxes.
