My post follows this one:
How to make young software engineers improve the quality of their output?
Without getting into the details of the previous post, we have a software project which was rushed, and we found a lot of bugs at the end of the project only. It was conducted by a small group of ...
There was a while moderators were coordinating a Broken Windows review
Trying to cleanup off topic and low voted questions (if everything is 0 or worse the system auto deletes questions, but a question at -5 and a +1 answer will not get auto deleted
It annoys me when people post answers to obviously off-topic questions like this one, especially after those questions have already received several close votes. Migrations seem to happen rather infrequently these days, so there's probably no reputation to gain for questions that are likely to be...
That's... an interesting question there, I probably should do more of that?
Part of the problem here is that we can still help people even if their questions are off topic
[1/2] I really do value your advice, thank you. You almost feel like my dad right now, ha! Yes, I think you can feel that I am defensive about my points. Unfortunately I might shoot myself in the foot with the wrong decision. When I quit my job in the summer and my boss asked me why, I told him that I am young enough to take risks (he just got married and a kid was on its way and he is still fairly young) and that it is now that I don't have responsibilities (I told him that I would value it if we could have more in-house projects that the employees are more passionate about). — the_critic1 hour ago
I would try The Workplace Chat for this sort of question, it's a lot better medium for getting advice if you don't have a clear question. — enderland ♦1 min ago
Superpings are a chatroom feature only available to diamond moderators, where they can reach a user irrespective of past interaction.
Compare that to a normal ping, where you can @name someone in comments or in a chatroom only if they have been active on a post or in that chatroom.

I've read Rework (by David Heinemeier Hansson and Jason Fried) and found that it has some really good points about ASAP, meetings, etc. I've found that this book addresses many mistakes that are regularly practiced at my daily job.
My boss is hosting an annual BBQ party soon. Is it wrong if I gi...
I think this would be better asked "What is the appropriate way to give your boss a book on management?" I know its an old question but it begs for me too answers and just picked one up
> What is the best way to give the book to my boss (e.g., at the party, in the workplace)? Is there any way to do it such that it is not inappropriate?
I don't really understand your question, it sounds like your manager was a senior developer, who changed positions but no one replaced him. Now you are responsible for all of his previous tasks and are not sure how to do those tasks and are looking to talk with your previous bosses boss (the director)? — enderland ♦8 mins ago
@Lilienthal He wasn't "berating" David K. His English was the problem.
He meant something like: What do you have in head? --> Why do you think so?
@enderland I think your interpretation is correct. I didn't find it confusing though. Perhaps being a non-native English speaker helps me understand other people's non-native English better. :D
"I call my boss to the senior developer who gone, and Director to the Director of the department which is still here." What he meant was: The one I called "my boss" is the senior developer, and the one I called Director is the Director of the department. He used "to" more like this is a "label". :)
@MaskedMan I actually wrote something here earlier but apparently forgot to send: "I can't tell if this guy is incredibly boorish and rude or just translating in all the wrong ways."
For what it's worth, I'm not a native speaker either but the language he was using didn't strike me as particularly polite or respectful even in whatever the original language was.
