When you powered on the Commodore 64 (or computers of that age).. sure you were in a 'development environment".. a terse prompt and a blinking cursor.. period. There was no help, there was no internet, no youtube, there was no browser. You were on your own with no easy way to get help.
Submission + - does being 'loyal' pay as a developer? 11
An anonymous reader writes: Does loyalty pay as a developer?
As a senior developer for a small IT company based in the UK that is about to release their flagship project, I know that if I was to leave the company now it would cause them some very big problems.
Mostly because I’m currently training the other two ‘junior’ developers , trying to bring them up to speed with our products. Unfortunately however they are still a long way from grasping the technologies used – not to mention the ‘interesting’ job the outsourced developers managed to make of the code (but I’ll leave that for another post)
Usually I would never have considered leaving at such a crucial time, I’ve been at the company for several years and consider many of my colleagues, including higher management, friends.
However I have been approached by another company that is much bigger, and they have offered me a pay rise of £7k to do the same job, plus their office is practically outside my front door (as opposed to my current 45 minute commute each way)
This would make a massive difference to my life, and naturally the other half wants me to snatch their hands off!
But I can’t help but feel that to leave now would be betraying my friends and colleagues, some friends have told me that I’m just being ‘soft’ – however I think I’m being loyal.
Some of you fellow slash-dotters must have had similar experiences over the years, any advice?
thanks

If you go to "change plan" in your account, the new pricing structure is there..
3 DVDs and streaming with Blue-Ray is $28/mo.
