  • I’ve just received an offer from a large company in the gambling industry. I am somewhat conflicted about taking it, on one hand I feel adults should be allowed to decide to waste some money at a casino and I have no issue with gambling as an activity. But, while I don’t feel gambling is inherently bad, I am aware that the companies in the industry are incredibly predatory and invest significant amounts of resources into making their products and services as addictive as possible.

    My current job is basically just helping further the CCP’s global expansion so I feel gambling is somewhat better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Im hoping for another offer from a company who do software for the insurance industry, that would be first prize…

    I work for a company who’s main source of income is a suite of accounting, stock and job management applications, all of which are written in FoxPro. The community add-ons and support is incredible but there hasn’t been any official support since like 2009.

    Microsoft bought the license for FoxPro, supported it for a few years then killed it off when VB came out. I wonder why xD

    The crazy part is some of our clients are turning over 100s of millions in profit a year, using this crappy, mess of a system written in a dead language, by one dude 😂
