On the importance of paying properly and offering decent working conditions.
And a small non-technical but rather social topic to end the week properly.
This topic had already been discussed previously. Here is a new article, always to be taken with a grain of salt, but nonetheless interesting. It discusses Google's human resources policy.

Ensuring they stay through an appropriate HR policy avoids seeing well-trained employees leave for a few hundred euros more per year, only to have to train a new person for several months.
