My 11 year old shitbox was a shitbox when it rolled off the assembly line. Now it's not as shiny, but it can still do over a ton without red lining or otherwise exploding.
And it too will have its own way of doing things that nothing else does, just like Angular and React are right now. At least jQuery was open from the beginning that devs should know the language that it mostly shielded them from. Now it doesn't seem to matter; job postings are mainly for those who can write , not JavaScript. Don't know the particular framework du jour (or preferably *all* of them)? Tough.
I hear you. I'm in two minds as to whether I go for a Head of Development job as it has a requirements list a mile long (because as well as managing the teams and directly reporting to CEO you should be prepared to keep updating your coding skill set and crank out solutions like all the other code monkeys). To me it looks like a job that two people would be better at than one, but maybe that's just me.
At a review (KPIs, fuck them) when the possibility of raises not happening was mentioned if after number crunching - where all non-tangible benefit you bring to the team and the company is discarded as irrelevant - you didn't do as well as it was hoped (read "expected"), I casually asked "not even for cost of living increases?" (that wasn't even 2% according to RPI) and was met with a disbelieving look as if I'd asked to film a blowbang with his wife and daughters.
Yeah, I have a life that doesn't involve being in front of a screen all fucking day. That's why I *don't* have a mountain of code written on my own time, because it's nice to be outside doing other pointless shit.
How many tenses do you think there are in English? I'll bet your guess isn't high enough, every though you probably use must of them without realising every day.
Microsoft has assumed users are drooling morons for 20 years, based on the decision of drooling moron managers that hiding the extension was a good idea. If those particular drooling morons had STFU and taken the trouble of learning something instead of treating everyone as though they were as dumb as them billions of dollars would have been saved.
Consider that the British Isles is not particularly big so all the things that would normally be separated by hundreds of miles of deserted wilderness in US are relatively close together over here: Sellafield, Anthrax island, Porton Down, etc. If shit goes down here we don't have a spacious bolthole (Snowdonia and the Highlands don't count). This is part of the horror; nowhere to feasibly run and hide. Anywhere you think of is also where so many others will also think of as to make running pointless.
Try differentiating between an iPad mini and an iPad 2 on a website where you don't have that luxury. Everything, HTTP headers, screen values, viewport sizes, all that jazz you'd normally use gives you the same result. You have to resort to a silly CSS @media directive in order to find out which one the user has.

Preferably a dictionary so you can spell "poring" correctly...
I'm still stuck reciting 2... being able to get to e is a pipe dream

Horsen of coursen.
What's more fun is the collective nouns for goosen: flock if on the ground, skein if in flight...
Take 2: "those who can write *insert framework*..."
Use take 2.

I don't work there any more.

"It's the only way to be sure"
SomaFM has some good streams indeed. Currently Drone Zone is my favourite, with Groove Salad a close second.
There was no way that bucket of bolts would make it past the clubhouse.
Stop. He has the weirding way...
Their refusal is "justified", though.
My sunglasses are in my other jacket...
You forgot pup, hospital, yurt and marquee. Plus the rarely seen big top.

Beep beep.
Appositely enough (next lines):

It's silly because of what you have to put in the query.
