If someone's brain is that bad at 60 they need to see a doctor.
My dad is pushing 90, he is slowing down a lot now. He seems to have forgotten how electromagnetic fields work, unless he actually thinks about it, then it clicks back on.
The fact that Accenture, EDS (HP whatever) etc etc can still get meetings is proof that senior management in government and large corporate are completely corrupt and incompetent.
Agile is a manifesto. The important parts are 'hire competent enthusiastic individuals' and 'people over process'.
If a hiring manager claims 'agile', your first question should be about 'average team compensation'. If they claim 'about industry standards' they are lying about Agile. 'Competent enthusiastic individuals' are paid better than average.
Fake agile shops are in fact 'PHB pulls schedules from ass' shops. Almost all scrum is not, in fact, agile.
I've been put on international flights because Australia companies can't find local talent.
What I saw when I got there was the worst IT mess I've ever seen. And that was at power companies, who are usually pretty good about understanding that their shit has to work.
How long does it take you to learn a new procedural/OO language?
A week is plenty (you'll ether have a good start on mastery or know to run away from the POS). But then you need to learn the libraries. Which will never end.
If a language has its own constellation of 'design patterns' it's a good sign you should avoid it. It was written by kids who never bothered learning the old way before reinventing everything badly (e.g. mySQL).
I've spent some years learning to make _crap_ tools work (dating myself: Dataflex). That time was truly wasted. Nobody cares and the skills are now useless. Don't be a mySQL/Rails/noSQL guru, unless you want to spend your later years searching for pig fucks bad enough they are still stuck with your preferred tool.
'Professional HR' are just a bunch of useless air thieves. HR shouldn't _ever_ hire, they should admin benefits, do exit interviews and shuffle paper to keep the local fascists out of the company's business.
in my experience HR are too incompetent to hire office staff, much less techs, much much less engineers.
If you are working at a company that doesn't have an HR department and they start to hire one, start looking. It's a terrible process, as chair fillers start to infect a team that really worked.
In poker you consider things like pot ratio (next bet to pot size). But with project management the question is always 'what is the current value of this half completed effort?' Everybody offering to answer that question has an interest, 99% of answers will be bullshit, remainder being 0.9% horse shit and 0.1% rat shit.
The truth is 'replacement value' is often pretty close to the current sunk cost. Not because the sunk cost was well spent, but because the organization won't do any better next time. Just pitiful.
S Australian pools don't have sticky prices. Once they got fuel, the market clearing price returned to normal range (a hour later), right?
It's been a long time sense I worked on Australian data. S Australia was gas pipeline constrained back then. You have to schedule gas delivery days ahead, like Florida in the USA.
In Florida they use oil in the CTs and combined cycles when the weather forecaster gets things really wrong, leading to short gas deliveries. Can't really store useful quantities of gas.

You can't use it a second time inside out?
Your wife is reading over your shoulder?
I can't think of another explanation for parent post. It's an obvious lie, he's not even tempted?
Whatever you do, don't go to wikipedia about a subject like this.
Completely useless PC crap.
I suppose it keeps 'them' busy and out of other trouble. Almost completely useless.
Northern north America is still bouncing back up from the compression caused by the last ice age.
They are likely 'adjusting' that data, old temperature records style.
It's true that one bullshitter will likely give a good reference to another bullshitter.
So take references from bullshitters with a huge grain of salt.
If you have a good team, you will find that most people with references are nothing like you describe.
A good team starts with a team lead that knows how to hire, if your team lead is a bullshitter, you're fucked from day one.
Building working teams is so far beyond HR it's a joke. They can't even tell competence, much less fit.

I thought all Android apps had to run on the Java VM. What's the better choice? Don't code for Android?

Because minorities and girls are already being helped by dozens of dedicated organizations and are, in fact, way ahead of the game.

If HR knows your name before you are 'hired' you are fucked.
Sure you go through HR, in the sense that HR does what it's told and processes the paper.
You are saying you've only worked at shitty places?
It's getting in through the 'side door'. 'Back door' has implications of pillow biting.
_Every_ smart employer knows the difference between favoritism and references.
Perhaps they know something you don't?
Being resistant to change is bad, jumping on every new buzz word soup 'solution' is much worse.
Absolutely THIS.

What country do you live in? That's unenforceable in the USA.
Quit and don't come in the next day. Tell them 'sue me'.
There will be consequences, just not legal ones. Be prepared for them. Make sure you have a friend in related industries to catch them Libeling you.
You only get 90% of the 10% done with an additional 90% of schedule.
The remaining 1% will also take 90% of schedule to get 90% done.
Repeat until good enough, or until feature creep makes the remainders irrelevant.
Optimist.
90% of remaining project will take 90% of budgeted time/money. Learn to live with imperfection.

Print a screenshot on a color laser and glue it to the broken computer's screen.

In 1970 it wasn't even a syndrome yet. One statistic (I suspect outdated) claims 32 people died of AIDS in the USA before the end of 1980.
You're asking a lot. Do you realize how many people die young of not obvious causes every year.
Individual doctors had patients immune systems fail. What would you have them do?
Not requiring something by law is not the same as not having it.
There are worker populations that can have informal sick leave, and there are populations that would abuse the fuck out of it.
Many nations also require a doctor's note for any sick leave longer than one day.
Look at how poorly they manage their mod points. No surprise they're broke morons.
