We have a job that runs https://pitest.org/, analyse the report and tweak the codebase as per the results. Not sure it's ever found a bug that's likely to happen in prod but definitely gives us a confidence boost
I think at either extreme its probably true. I don't spend my time signaling on linked in, but I do like to have a "diverse" team. Things just feel more even when you aren't surrounded by the same types, and there is space in that for white people with right wing views

Netbeans was better/easier to use than Eclipse for a long time in my opinion (100% accept that isn't worth a whole lot). I vaguely remember that in about 2010/2011 trying to use the maven and git plugins for eclipse together and hitting a lot of errors. Netbeans wasn't perfect but it worked AND used the system installations of git/mvn. Also, Ive never understood why Eclipse insists (at least last time I used it) on importing files/directories into some sort of workspace decoupling the files you see in the IDE from those on the disk.
I really hope this company survives/thrives in spite of brexit, I havent seen much about the relationship with ESA recently but from memory its quite separate from the EU.

We do use Java 8 a lot in the back but I promise there is no JEE in sight. The front end role will come with a lot of autonomy for the successful candidate to choose the tools/frameworks used.
Interview process: 15 minute Skype/face to face preliminary chat, followed by a more formal interview of around 15 minutes chat and 30 minute technical assessment.
We'd also love to hear from any data scientists in the Durham area
In addition to the stuff you mentioned, for my mother in law I:
removed her user's admin privileges
install flashblock - one of the ones where you have to click on the video to make it run
spent a long time explaining that you will never be chosen to win something, MS support never rings you to tell you have a virus, if something takes over the whole screen and tells you anything suspicious/implausible to press alt+f4
convinced her free music isnt worth the risk of downloading something that trashes the machine. installed spotify
