There was the referendum. Then the elected representatives voted on it, and passed it. Then there was a general election, after which Leave was again voted for in Parliament (and both the main parties back leaving the EU). How many votes are needed??
How's it spam? I select people/accounts I want to follow, and tweets from them show up in chronological order in my timeline. Sounds brilliant, someone should get on that!
Anything goes? Twitter have been actively censoring hashtags, banning people, shadow-banning accounts and most recently "de-verifiying" people due to political differences.
So realistically, is the code going to be fixed at 3 a.m.? Why can't it wait til I'm in the next morning at 8 a.m. for a proper review, triage, priority listing and then fix?
I'm shocked that people would so easily give up their free time really, but to each their own.
How much does it pay extra?

No it's not, that's using your own product. Which I do.
On call as a core part? Really? Thankfully I've never worked anywhere with such a "duty", tbh if my current place proposed it I'd be applying for new jobs by lunch time.
What's the standard pay for being on-call as a matter of interest?
> Could this be a result of Ireland being somewhat of a tax haven?
Not really. The problem is that building all but stopped in the aftermath of the 2007/8 crash. Meanwhile the economy recovered, Dublin in particular is booming now but we're still lacking enough homes to meet demand and building never recovered to the necessary levels. Add in a reluctance for "building up" and a growing population, that gets you higher and higher prices...
Except for the lack of readily available credit. For the most part, it seems the people paying the high prices are "able" to afford it. The problem is that home ownership (and the security that brings, particularly in Ireland) is not attainable for most young people and families anymore.
I honestly don't remember that. I could easily have predicated what would come up in the article, the G have a bizarre fascination with that mini-shuttle protesting story. It comes up in pretty much every tech/SV story. Throw in a bunch of anecdotes, a few jabs at gentrification (because it's only tech people who are responsible for it, not planning etc), the hilarious implication that most techies work for the big companies listed when you and I both know that bs, a video of a few morons from Dropbox and somehow that all equates to techies being the new bankers? Really? That's got past an editor?
No but his PR team have done wonders in making the average Joe think he's the smartest man in the world and therefore the papers will run with anything he comes out with,
