    What do you do?

    You could also look to move up to the next role. When it comes to Big Data (or anything considered bleeding edge in tech) the competition between companies is extremely aggressive and you can make vertical moves pretty easily if you are willing to bounce around every year or so. I know we just...

    What do you do?

    You and I have very similar jobs with very similar comp. Get a job at a no-travel consulting firm would be my advice before you start to hate the work you do.

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Maybe we were wrong about the $600 tier. People seem to be gobbling it up. Does the $1000 quest line design include decisions around the reward for the quest?

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Indeed. They should allow you to design the quest that has the item as the reward instead.

    I would up my donation for a lifetime sub tier. $500 seems reasonable to me. Make it happen, Brad.

    For a thermometer, get a Thermopen from Thermoworks (ThermoWorks - Splash-Proof Thermapen Thermometer). If you are a baller, also splurge on one of the good Thermoworks thermocouples and a couple probes (one for environmental temp and one for probing internal temp).

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I got a 3ds to play on the couch while my 3 year old watches Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It also gives me something more respectable to play in bed over the normal smartphone bullshit. Oh, and Zelda: ALBW is a really good game.

    I need some recipe website recommendations. I find myself going to allrecipes.com, simplyrecipes.com, food.com, etc and always getting the same types of boring things suggested to me. I like more advanced recipes than the normal things that you find on these sites, but since I do most of the...

    We used cloth with our daughter from about 3 months until a little after 2 years old. She was on a pooping schedule like a champ, so we would put her in disposables from 2PM - 4PM, and we would catch 90% of all poops without incident.

    At some point they have to restart the servers to boot the afkers, right? RIGHT?! I've been through some terrible launches, but I don't think I have ever been as infuriated as I am with this one...

    What do you do?

    Are you a project based consultant? There is always a risk that the counter-offer is just to cover the firm through the duration of the project that you are staffed on. Once the project ends, you might find yourself expendable. If you are in firm leadership, this isn't really a concern as your...

    What do you do?

    I've made very similar career moves as you. In the last 5 years I've gone from Developer -> (job hop) Software Engineer -> Lead Software Engineer -> (job hop) Consultant -> Solution Architect. Each hop got me a 30% bump or so and each promotion was a 20% bump. I really don't see the problem...

    The only acceptable time to boil a chicken is when you are making stock or you have to make bland chicken to feed to a dog with allergies (seriously - fuck pugs with food allergies).
