@tzubair - Thanks. Personally I try not to "sell" people on anything. Rather I try to explain their choices and the consequences in a balanced way. People feel empowered once they are educated. I also explain their rights...

Very well said, Jack, and even though this is an oft-talked about topic, it seems that most companies have yet to enact better hiring practices, so there's no harm in talking about it more. The example you gave about your...

Ha, this reminds me of something funny. One year at Penny Arcade Expo in Boston, attendees were advised not to use handshakes (precisely because there was a flu going around). Instead, they were offered an alternative for...

My opinion on estimating project time is that if you're close then most people won't care if you go over a bit as long as you can identify why you went over. If you say "we can get this done today" but something comes...
