With my 110 mile round trip to work I will say an EV is an option but Leaf, not a chance. With ~250 mile range of a Tesla I could live with renting a gas vehicle to drive cross country on the rare occasion I need it... unless they get enough fast chargers. I can live with a 10 minute break every 250 miles. Now if they would just bring the price down to the point where I'm not spending more buying that car than I do on gas.
Hell as a holder of mutual funds myself (retirement investment, not instant fortune) I'd be happy if the companies would at least focus on long term profits rather than short term. But those with the real money in stocks are not looking for profits forty years down the road...
Well they do only offer 30-50 an hour for wages. Might be a result of a part of work being for the government and outsourcing that is rather frowned on.
From my experience, pseudo code or programming design language is a large part of the job. How well can a person organize the process the code will use. The actual implementation can usually be looked up on Google.
I lean toward it takes money to make money and money is power. A pure market still favors the rich and only a market rigged against the rich would allow the less than rich to have even footing.
Not a bridge designer myself but I suspect bridge building is well defined for how one is designed. It seems that so long as you define span and weight requirements (plus whatever other details I don't know about) you will have a pretty successful bridge.
Most software requests seem to be more like "I want to drive across the Aleutian islands, make it happen".
Verifying can be fun, I like breaking other people's stuff. However I find companies rarely want to pay for it to be done properly since that often costs more than the development in the first place.
Of course it can be hard to test properly if the company doesn't want to take the time to say exactly what the program is supposed to do in the first place.
I'd be less worried about the people going 80 down the freeway with a cell phone and more worried about the ones doing 45 in the city with a cell phone.

Time to lie on resumes? Or tell the truth that HR doesn't recognize?
How long before someone codes a module to bypass the DRM handling?

I suspect it is the stock holders that like the cable companies.
Well what this article says they had planned is about as annoying to me as a no used game policy: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tec...
+1 for learning Ada, while at it learning how avionics and airplane navigation/radios work can help.

Or are working in the US. I know a few companies that can't find enough developers, though being avionics may have something to do with it.
I define my own pseudo code thanks, keeps me from having other people figure out what I mean.
Like arresting someone for brandishing their gun but not for having it safely holstered?
They identify targets just fine, it move == target.
Not how they define it I'm sure but whatever.
At least as far as their simulation is accurate. The real world still throws curves on any design but it is still a major jump start.
Recently they added a position for "Organic fertilizer shoveler" that I'm not sure about...
This must explain why I can never win the lottery, I already lucked out enough.
I've done a few timing critical programs but I'd prefer to offload that kind of tolerance onto dedicated hardware (simple example a serial UART).

True but what an individual can afford vs what the government can afford are two different things.
X frame cars that had a tendency to fold with of center collisions...

What you are talking about is spending money. Why do that when the programmer should just be able to take the customers request an "make it work"?
And people are busy pouring more water on that puddle with an occasional bucket of mud added.
