I'm excited about an offer I have from a small startup, but I’m a little nervous about the risk. Do you think working at one helps your career down the road, or is it better to stay somewhere more stable?

Is there anyone else who experiences age-based discrimination at work? I'm in my mid-20s, and have been working with seniors who think I'm still too junior to understand complex tasks. I definitely have the expertise, but I can't seem to change their perception. How can I convince others that my skill level is more important than my age?

Will an oversupply of developers due to layoffs give employers more bargaining power to delay promotions and lower salaries for new job openings? With larger and larger layoffs being announced I worry about applicants bargaining power.

I keep blowing past my own estimates, and I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get more accurate. Every time I think I've scoped something out, the actual work takes way longer than I planned. What's helped you close the gap between what you think something will take and how long it really ends up being?

I'm job searching again due to being laid off after a long tenure. I have 8 YOE and a modern stack, but I never finished my degree. Recruiters are reaching out, but my cold applications get zero traction. I'm seeing that CS degrees are required everywhere now. Is finishing my degree a smart move to help me get past these automated filters, or is it a waste of time at my level?
