Two excellent articles lead your reading today. First, Stack Overflow reports on their 2015 developer survey. It is an interesting look into the people that frequent the site which could be seen as a representative sample of our industry. On Road Less Travelled, we get a first hand account of one man’s experiences at Apple and why he quit. A very good, if not entirely surprising, article that everyone should read.
As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
