It's a game.
Networking is part of playing the game. Trimming the fat is part of playing the game. Promotions based on likability versus merit and skill, is part of playing the game.
None of this should come as a surprise to anyone, if it does, you are not playing the game, and if you are, you are a terrible player.
With that said, not all Employers/Companies play the game, and if they do, they may only play on Friday nights. So, with an employer like that, you may have an easier time playing the game with greater odds at actually winning from time to time.

Acquired December 1997, Hotmail was the gift that kept on giving—for good or ill. I'd make a HotMail joke here, but I think they've all been said by now
Almost as good as "aol.com" for identifying the age of the sender.

I got a Hotmail address soon after my Yahoo one, about sixteen years ago. Hotmail was a regular spamfest, far worse than Yahoo. Since then my address has migrated to Outlook.com. I like it, but I have so much crap connected to my yahoo account, that I don't have the energy to change. Though given how bad Yahoo is becoming, I may have to force myself.

|
|
|
I think the funniest part was how they tried to implement Hotmail on Windows Server but performance was so bad they bagged it and went back to the previous implementation on Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
To clarify, the implementation wasn't on Linux, but a combination of FreeBSD and Sun Solaris--a HUGE difference at the time.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, now that you mention it, I do remember that. At the time, Sun was huge in the server market.
Thanks

The Harvard Business Review may have published this logic puzzle back in 1996, but people are still scratching their heads over it today. Just in case you're a little short on "stupid interview questions" this week

It’s an excellent chance to make a summary of things that happened to C++! As you might guess the whole year was dominated by the finalization and publication of C++17. Yet, there are some other “big” things that happened. It's still compiling?

A fundamental design flaw in Intel's processor chips has forced a significant redesign of the Linux and Windows kernels to defang the chip-level security bug. Fortunately not a lot of people use those chips
And yes, it does include one possibly naughty acronym. Sorry for offending anyone with that.
If you noticed it.

Just a little reminder that it’s about 100 times more important what you build than how you build it. Unless you build it on a swamp, of course.

This software collects TV-viewing data for advertisers “by identifying audio signals in TV ads and shows, sometimes even matching that information with the places people visit and the movies they see.” Advertisers then use this information to target ads more appropriately to individual users.
