Agree. I'm using projectile[1] for now but that somehow messes things up with caching files so that I actually cannot search my project files. I assume that might be a fault on my side though.

Have you tried projectile? From reading the Readme this was exactly what I was looking for as a Ctrl-P replacement.

I use projectile with caching turned off with flx-ido for sorting. I heavily favor (projectile-find-buffer) once I get going since loading the whole tree is pretty slow on a large project. I'm way more happy with this setup than I was with CtrlP.

I've had some weird things happen too when searching for files in a project using projectile, I fix it by triggering a refresh of the cache by prefixing with a C-u the C-c p f command.

Actually thats "What is the most valuable runtime to target for the future?", right?

Interesting observation but why should you just closely model the physical inspiration when creating applications for screens? Snooze is actually not very helpful even though it feels good in that very moment [1]

Definitely a good point -- however, that article leans more toward the elimination of the snooze function entirely. (Which may indeed be advantageous for sleep!)

If they do choose to include a snooze button, though, I'd prefer they get it right.

Polish language as a requirement is a big blocker I'd assume.

We hire people remotely, though so it happens that they dwell mostly in Poland (plus on in the UK and one moving to SF); that gives us a bigger advantage over companies that employ locally people that must communicate in English only, e.g. by easier company get-togethers and basically smoother in-house communication.

"Next, there's a short Skype/mobile call that basically makes sure you can communicate in both Polish and English"

You hire people remotely, but they have to speak polish?

From all over the country, usually. We do have two people working from abroad, though.

I guess Polish language requirement also makes clear that compensation will be "Polish" as well... So no need for a "North American" to apply.

This. I was getting more interested at every line, until I read about the Polish.

I mean, I'm italian (from Italy, not NY :p), and I would only require English because it's just the main language in tech in the current period of time.

That's true - we won't consider anyone without a good command of English. However, as written below, we think the overall communication could get fragmented if there was only one English-only speaking person in the company.

That's definitely understandable, though I guess a bit sad. Does anyone who's not Polish speak Polish? That hasn't been my experience. I've met a few Polish people and seemed such a foreign language to me(doesn't sound like any European or Slavic language I've ever heard). Does it have any related languages whose speakers would be able to pick it up easily?(such as French/Spanish/Italian for example).

Since you're hiring and working remotely doesn't this severely restrict your hiring pool?

Yup, that's true. People from Ukraine, Russia, Slovakia, Czech Republic can easily relate to Polish.

This might be a bit controversial (purely my opinion, not company's) but I think that you'd rather either go full monty and employ 100% multicultural crew or rather stick to a 100% monocultural group. Why? For easier communication.

I recall a situation, working at my previous work, where we hired one guy from South America. His tech side was impeccable, his English needed some brushing up, he's really amiable yet the main problem was people not always switching to English with him around. Not out of malice, some people weren't that comfortable with Eng.

/ EOT ;)

Is it really a requirement? Jeez.

I am Greek/Italian, with a good command of both langs, but talking about development or even IT any other language than (my poor) English it's cumbersome.

The thing is all of us are Polish and we had a discussion some time ago about hiring English speaking people. The problem was that it would make the communication more complicated (switching from Polish to English for inhouse communication) while providing little benefit for us at this particular time (there's still a lot of talent to scoop in Poland) so we decided to not recruit foreigners. This may change someday, but I don't think it will be in a forseeable future.

Certainly a foreigner who is wild enough to have learned Polish and is a developer is probably a good candidate. I would be interested if it included language lessons, but that is a bit much to ask.

I've met a lot of talented polish developers. I think you have a large talent pool to work with.

There are a large number of Polish outside of Poland living in the EU. I think they will be able to find someone.

Aren't a lot of those people living in richer countries than Poland, though? It would be hard to live in, say, the UK on a Polish salary.

That is a good point. The other way to look at it is a way to go back to Poland, especially if you do not intend to stay in Warsaw where I assume more of the job opportunities are.

Twitter is big and I personally don't have that problem. So I'd guess that this is more of an issue related to the people you follow instead of Twitter itself.

Unfortunately Twitter can't know which content you'll like so there is some work required to build up a feed that continuously delivers this content.

This seems to be one of the major issues when it comes to joining Twitter nowadays too.

PS: Title feels very "sensational"...

>>> PS: Title feels very "sensational"...

They all seem so sensational. The TLDR version of this post is "I don't like Twitter so much anymore so it's kind of dead to me"

wc has that at 62 chars. Enough for a Tweet :)

This is interesting. I just read four points and was completely like: "Not me, not me, not me, not me."

Then I read the fifth point and just thought: "This more likely me. Except for the savings and the acing of exams without learning."

I was a little confused about the "Do it" since all other points ended with "Don't do it" but it has been fun.

Thanks for this article.

PS. I am about to pause studying for half a year to one year and than continue to study. I am 19.

I'm curious to see what Microsoft will do with the more or less unmaintained Linux version of Skype.

Probably nothing. It will continue to be more or less unmaintained.

You don't have to guess.

Where is the original post w/ comments?

Well, when I read the Twitter headline I was sure that this is a link I'd like to share with my coworkers. After reading it however it seems not to have much of content.

Some other reasons beside the obvious social ones:

1. If you aren't working on the same project you can use these lunch-discussions to generate ideas.

2. You can ask for feedback on any descision from people that are not actually involved in your project.

3. If you are working at a company where you can actually influence the company's principles, rules and processes you can make your job even better by improving the company's behavior. Which is far more fun if you are not doing it alone.

There are probably more reasons. This article is really missing some substance beside the psychological impact of social interactions. Common lunch can also provide value to the company itself.

I'm also curious what the amount of money he invested was like. While I really like the hack I think it was a quite expensive one.

With a certain amount of money you can do nearly everything. The art is to do it with less.
