I'm very fortunate to have a skillset that seems to be highly sought after in the tech industry and I find myself getting plenty of calls and emails from recruiters. Whilst I'm not actively looking for something new, I find it interesting to talk to recruiters and keep up to date with the market.<p>For the last twelve months I've been refusing to disclose my current salary to them since, in my opinion, it isn't (or shouldn't be!) necessary information for either the recruiter or a potential future employer to know.<p>

OK, so the title is a bit presumptuous since I'm yet to get in to the habbit of writing more posts, but it's good to be positive!

More and more people are now adopting some kind of Continuous Integration system, where their full suite of tests and checks are run on every commit with the aim of giving fast feedback to developers. As this adoption grows, and more and more tools come out to help with it, feedback time for developers can actually increase rather than decrease.
