‘They were furious’: the Russian soldiers refusing to fight in Ukraine
“It soon became clear that not everyone was onboard with it. Many of us simply did not want to go back,” said Dmitri, a member of the unit who asked not to be identified with his real name. “I want to return to my family – and not in a casket.” Along with eight others, Dmitri told his commanders that he refused to rejoin the invasion. “They were furious. But they eventually calmed down because the

In the early Spring of 2017, as I hit the 1.5-year mark in my postdoctoral fellowship, I directly compared research career paths in industry and academia and decided to pursue a career in industry. Many times since then, I have been asked about the differences between industry and academia and how I landed an industry job. Perhaps you too are curious about these two different career paths. If so,
In "Software Engineering - The Soft Parts" Addy Osmani shares lessons from his first 10 years at Google on the "soft skills" that can help engineers become effective and scale their effectiveness. This guidance should help junior, mid-career and even senior developers move forward, deal with changing technology, and navigate building non-trivial systems. Today I'll share some of the software engin
As hiring managers, we have a lot of tough choices to make. One choice most hiring managers get wrong is compensation for developers. This article will help you get in the right ballpark based on your needs. Baseline salary data comes from Indeed.com, but we help you interpret and apply that data to your particular needs by defining 5 distinct levels of experience and expertise, and grouping compe
🚨 How Basecamp blew up
I. At 8AM PT on Friday, a bleary-eyed Basecamp CEO Jason Fried gathered his remote workforce together on Zoom to apologize. Four days earlier, he had thrown the company into turmoil by announcing that “societal and political discussions” would no longer be allowed on the company’s internal chat forums. In his blog post, Fried said the decision stemmed from the fact that “today's social and politic
On visiting Japan and engaging with conservative politicians – William Mitchell – Modern Monetary Theory
September 11, 2019 bill Admin, Japan, Music 29 Comments It is my Wednesday blog post and my relative ‘blog day off’. But there has been an issue I want to write briefly about that has come up recently and has become a recurring theme. I am writing today to put the matter on the public record so that spurious claims that arise elsewhere have no traction. As our Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) work gai

This is a rebuttal to Why Go and not Rust?.

Abandoning a Cat
Of course I have a lot of memories of my father. It’s only natural, considering that we lived under the same roof of our not exactly spacious home from the time I was born until I left home at eighteen. And, as is the case with most children and parents, I imagine, some of my memories of my father are happy, some not quite so much. But the memories that remain most vividly in my mind now fall into
Exactly ten years ago today, we published "Why We Created Julia", introducing the Julia project to the world. At this point, we have moved well past the ambitious goals set out in the original blog post. Julia is now used by hundreds of thousands of people. It is taught at hundreds of universities and entire companies are being formed that build their software stacks on Julia. From personalized me

Whether they’re building a new product or improving a process or feature, developers and IT leaders need data and insights to make informed decisions. When it comes to software development, this data exists in two ways: unstructured and structured. While structured data follows a specific and predefined format, unstructured data—like email, an audio or visual file, code comment, or commit message—
There’s been a lot of hand-wringing over The Technical Interview lately. Many people realize that inverting a binary tree on a whiteboard has basically zero correlation to whether or not someone is actually a good software developer. The most effective programming test anyone’s come up with is still Fizzbuzz. One consequence of this has been an increased emphasis on Open Source Contributions, but

Putin hijacked Austria’s spy service. Now he’s going after its government
VIENNA — The coup began with the sound of a doorbell. Just after 8 a.m. on Feb. 28, 2018, Austrian police Commander Wolfgang Preiszler pressed the buzzer at the headquarters of the country’s domestic intelligence service and held his ID up to the security camera. Within minutes, dozens of his colleagues armed with Glock pistols and a battering ram fanned out through the building in bullet-proof ve
‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza
Smoke rises after Israeli airstrikes in several location in the Gaza Strip, October 9, 2023.

A plea to Haskellers everywhere. Haskell has a hiring problem. There aren’t many Haskell jobs, and there aren’t many Haskell employees. Haskell employees tend to be senior engineers, and the vast majority of job ads want senior-level Haskell candidates.

For some people, [working as a software developer in Japan](/articles/first-job-programmer-japan) would be a dream come true. As an Australian software developer who has been in Japan for 6 months, I’m one of those dreamers.

Frontend Design, React, and a Bridge over the Great Divide Frontend designers create the HTML, CSS, and presentational JavaScript code that powers web products’ user interfaces.

There are a lot of good reasons why salaries should be transparent. It helps candidates to not waste time on opportunities that pay less than they want.

Around nine years ago I published Ninja, a build system that is mostly comparable to Make. At the time I was a bit embarrassed to share my side project but since then it has become widely popular. I can't list all of the users off the top of my head anymore, but some of the "big" projects that use Ninja include: Chrome, which eventually removed all of its non-Ninja builds; Android, which uses it f

Senior Engineer Jobsearch
We’re both senior engineers who worked together at Facebook and Airbnb. A bit back, we went on a 100-day long job search, completed a combined 20 onsites, and landed senior/staff offers. Throughout the process, we spoke to each other every day and shared what we learned. We discovered that though there was a lot of great information online on interview prep — from cracking algorithm interviews to

Finding your engineer archetype is crucial to performing better in the long run. Here are 6 types to consider and the traits needed to succeed within each realm.

Kwan’s Hierarchy of Product Needs: The Four Levels of Product Managers
For a young company, the value of a VP of Product or CPO can be difficult to ascertain. Many argue that a senior PM with 3–8 years of experience would satisfy the business’ strategic needs. And that’s indeed true for the first PM hire as I outlined in my 0–1 article. On the other hand, a CPO brings a deeper and more strategic product perspective that can help companies build a vision for the futur

Why is Common Lisp not the most popular programming language? | Hacker News
It's the lists.No, not the prefix notation, parenthesis, what have you, although that doesn't help. The lists themselves. In Lisp, code is data, and data is lists. Yes, of course, there are hashmaps, arrays, strings. But idiomatic Lisp code really does use linked lists extensively, it's an entire style of programming. Even if you'd prefer to use different data structures (and again, Common Lisp do

Cyberbullying Gone Global: Fediverse Spam and Operation Beleaguer
On February 15th, newly-created Fediverse accounts started posting spam messages from various instances, sending invites to a Discord server for a Japanese troll organization.

Looking at their spam content (in Japanese), it’s obvious that it’s not just any typical spam. An
