  • RE: Technology Guilt

    My 2 cents:

    1. While there is general displacement, there are still opportunities for people who are (were) highly skilled in the displaced occupation. The weaver machines were much faster, but...

  • RE: Are We Suckers?

    Another part of the complexity is the "slave labor" idea might be accepted by people just starting out. The article sort of mentions those people, but the author really glossed...

  • RE: Are We Suckers?

    My first impression was that these are the same "hot skills" as last year and the year before that. The order might be different, as someone was surprised to see...

  • RE: Not Good Enough For Government Work

    Without reading the underlying links, I would guess at issue is the classic conflict between .net/java/whatever developers and database architechs/developers/dbas. Like many others on this forum, I have seen both...

  • RE: Do Other Departments Know What You Do?

    I thought this article was going to be about making sure the other teams that you work with, upstream and downstream, and your manager's manager ('s manager?) are aware of...
