It was because he went to the changing rooms to change his pants. So he was away from work like maybe 10 minutes.

Yes you should switch jobs. But make sure you have a good answer when they ask you why. You don't want to talk bad about your current employer to your possible new employer.

So find a positive way to describe why you are changing jobs. What are you looking for, what skills and area's do you want to grow in? This is important. Don't get hung up on your current job, find something new that you like doing and focus on your personal growth and career.

What is your experience you gained at your current job? Anything special that you archieven? You need to have an answer to that for your future employer. You don't need to lie, but you need to prepare for some questions.

I worked in a glasshouse for a while. Since everything is glass, and the temperature is pretty high, the new guy went to change his pants from long ones to short ones. The son of the boss, who just started recently, decided he did not like it and fired him on the spot.

I thought it was really stupid. Unfortunately there was no talking him out of it. The guy was hard to work with, and part of the reason I quit that job later.

Feeld mild today are we? I would give him five, but only if I could resist throwing him out myself.

The problem is people are only going to change their behaviour once the consequences hit them, and with global warming, the consequences won't really hit them until a long time later.

The second problem is the consequences are dramatic. And very hard if not impossible to turn around.

To really get people and companies to change their behaviour, we would need an immediate consequence to behaviour that is bad for the environment.

Bottom line is, some people try, some people don't give a shit, and in the end we will have to deal with it.

I hope governments are watching carefully, we will need to keep a lot of water away from us in the future, and we'll have to deal with the changing climate too.

I really hope my car holds out for a long time, because fuck ads in my car. I don't want my car to listen to anything but the controls I use to drive.

Is there really anybody who thinks they would like that?

In Dutch www is faster. Never understood why one would give a letter a name that consists of 2 parts.

Dude, just start looking. Don't wait for somebody else to leave, be that person.

If somebody else leaves, your workload will increase even more while you try to find a new job. Just take the initiative. And next time, be quicker about it too. Protect yourself.

The benefit: you no longer have to pay staff or rent for that studio. Take the IP's, what else of value is there really? The rest is just a burden.

Most of them are not bought to ensure their future or as an investment. They are bought to take the IP and eliminate a competitor or threat.

It's sad, but that's the problem with big companies with huge wallets. They'll push people out of a job and won't loose any sleep over it either.

At least that is what I think.

Wrap it up folks, we're done here.

It's actually a classic programmer move to start over again. I've read the book "Clean Code" and it talks about a little bit.

Appereantly it would not be the first time that the new start turns into the same mess as the old codebase it's supposed to replace. While starting over can be tempting, refactoring is in my opinion better.

If you refactor a lot, you start thinking the same way about the new code you write. So any new code you write will probably be better and you'll be cleaning up the old code too. If you know you have to clean up the mess anyways, better do it right the first time ....

However it is not hard to imagine that some programming languages simply get too old and the application has to be rewritten in a new language to ensure continuity. So I think that happens sometimes.

I just got this mail. They are very funny. It is clear that they are trying to generate money by adding features, but the whole point is that I don't need more features.

I just need the program as it is, hell, they can still take more functionality away and it will still work for me just fine. I just use it for small projects, maybe twice a year.

If the free version ever goes away, I'll just learn some other program. There might be a learning curve, but I don't mind.

And I understand that they need to make money, and they have every right to charge whatever they want. But mails like this make them look desperate for cash.

If they really don't want too, don't have a free product. Then everybody knows what is up.
