Once I got over the initial learning curve and started to get the nuances I really enjoy working in the language. So much so I've started looking around for a full time Go position.
My company is in the process of merging with another company and I received a letter urging me to sell the stock options. This is only my 2nd job out of college, I've never gone through anything like this.The price they are offering is only a few cents higher than the original strike price, doesn't seem like it would even be worth it to exercise them.That was the only option they offered me....
No insane markups and still requires some planning else my puss will be pissed.
....But its back up now, time to code review.
Shoot me a private message, lets grab a bite or beer sometime.
I get it, even in some neighborhoods in Philadelphia the same thing is happening. Although to a much lesser extent, but there is tension between locals and newcomers. I was initially sympathetic to the locals, but now it just seems people will complain about the change no matter what.
But you have no right to complain about this gentrification when you are operating newly built apartment complexes, charging a premium to tech workers. And then go on to say you have Amazon prime. Screw you, Owen.
R.I.P.
When my previous employer implemented "Agile" they payed what I imagine was tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for an "agile framework's" consultants to come in and teach us how to agile correctly.
1.5 years after that I saw that our time was more micromanaged than before. We were told regularly we were "empowered" and to speak up when we had any doubts or anxiety or saw a problem with our plan, but when we did it we were either chastised or disregarded or in some cases convinced it wasn't an issue.
That and the entire development organization treating estimates as infallible. That was the worst. Being told to estimate as best you could because agile was about adapting to change. Then getting reamed for being wrong. I gave up pointing out all the double-speak (release dates are flexible! as long as it is done by the release date) going on in the "agile ceremonies" (2 day 4-hour Release planning meetings with all 30 dev teams in one room.)
I know it's just one org I'm speaking about, but after almost 3 years I don't know if their dev organization is any better off than when they were waterfall. Now I'm curious just how wide spread this particular issue is.
