Also, some interesting articles about work. Why work in F1 by Dan Fallows, Aston Martin Technical Director. And Oxide compensation structure — all employees get the same salary.

Programmers have strong opinions for which text editor is the best. Checkout editor war.

Talking about salary, it reminds me of this article, What Your Job Ad Says About You in the Managerial Role section in the Seniority Page.
