LastInLine posted:they arent but given microsofts stack ranking and the fact that those who are there are either those people lovely enough to game the system and thrive in it and thus deserve whatever comes to them or they are people new to it and undeserving of such treatment and are better off anywhere else i cant help but think its for the best it can be better for a person in the long run, but in the immediate, it's pretty awful it's never the right people who get punished

The Management posted:there is a non-management career path for engineers, and while it's "doing the same job" you become an expert and spend time making smart, precise improvements and leading the direction of software evolution as your understanding of the problem space evolves. meanwhile the grunt work gets handed to junior developers. the trick is being able to identify grunt work that should be handed off

qirex posted:http://mobilesyrup.com/2014/08/14/ex-nokia-exec-tomi-ahonen-explains-the-microsoft-nokia-mess/ you cut that last quote short of the best part Then, while owning Nokia handsets unit for 3 weeks, Nadella saw the first actual performance data and that the basic phones – dumbphones, feature phones, Asha touch-screen internet phones, and X Series Android phones – combined, saw a collapse of 29% of their unit sales in just three weeks. No doubt the CEO called around to a few of Nokia’s large handset partner-distributors like China Mobile, Vodafone, Telefonica, etc., and discovered that they didn’t like Microsoft and would continue to damage any handset business by Microsoft.

"They put the Coke and Pepsi on the top shelf, and I couldn't reach them," Dutchins told reporters. "I decided my thirst was significant enough to justify buying an unknown brand." Added Dutchins: "My wife died several years ago."
