Low compared to the US - that's true of most places. Low on a global scale? Absolutely not.

You're making it sound like we're living on minimum wage.

The average Java developer in London is within the top 5% of the UK in terms of salary.

Divorce can be as traumatic as a death - for me it was liberating though.

His post comes across as arrogant / maybe even a little choosing beggar.

He lists his very specific requirements for working with him which makes me think he wouldn’t fit into an existing system, he’s want the system to bend to his will and that might be at the expense of others.

He comes across as thinking he is shit hot and that I’d be lucky if I were to hire him.

Based on his blog post alone, I would not hire him.

Two short stints as a dev and he thinks the world should bend around him... lol

I understand that Americans call LEGO ‘LEGOS’ because you don’t just play with one brick, you play with multiple. You’re (incorrectly) using the plural form.

If the above is correct, why would you refer to a single block of LEGO as LEGOS’?

Also, would you consider using the word LEGO, as it’s written on the box, from now on?

I dived a few different areas two months ago in QLD and I was very sad to see a belched dead reef. I’m sure there are healthy parts but there are a lot of dead or dying parts too.

Australia is no longer my top country to dive - Indonesia and Philippines are far better.

Can’t trade joy for a house or clothes for the kids.

... or 5 star holidays along the Mediterranean.

What a world when people can attack then rejection of child abuse and that’s socially acceptable.

Children don’t have diverse identities. I used to think I was Batman, my mate used to think he was black. Impressionable children are impressionable.

How do you quantify?

I also never claimed it was a monopoly in the first. Looks like a few people are arguing against their own projections.

How far exactly? Most businesses use word.

What? It’s just an online CV which has got me all of my jobs except my very first one. There are no dark patterns if you only engage with it as that.

In over 10 years I’ve rarely received a google drive doc / sheet or presso. Can’t imagine relying on those school child level tools to be honest.

I’ve worked at SAP, Oracle, and a few large consultancies. Most of my customers are in the enterprise size range. Office is used heavily by the larger companies of the world and therefore is used by their software and service vendors. The only company I’ve ever worked with that was totally google drive was an American startup. Office is still very much the dominant suite of software across most companies although there are plenty of smaller American companies trying to work without it. I personally can’t tolerate the the lack of basic formatting that docs offers are how limited sheets and slides are. Just adding section numbers in docs needs an add on and if your collaborators don’t have the same add on they just add new sections without numbering. I can’t imagine large documents without numbering...
