Keeping people happy is a good thing[1]. But all those words make me cringe so hard.

- sotojuan 11y agoIf that kind of bio bothers you, stay away from Quora :-)
- jevgeni 11y agoI've trained myself to mentally block those on Quore, like I've trained myself to mentally block ads.
- andrewl-hn 11y agoThe author is a non-native speaker. I doubt there's anything behind this bio except a wordplay.
- jevgeni 11y agoYeah, it's just goofy. But feels ... overused?
- netaustin 11y agoCringing was my main reaction too, but it was more about the use of the "all the things" meme and the "kitchen sink" advice. Clearly the author is a very smart guy, but he seems to be in early-career discovery mode. What I want my early-career developers to learn is to be great at one or two core things, not to throw a dozen hot new tools at every problem.
- jevgeni 11y agoYeah. It kind of reminds me of photography: when people just get into it, they tend to be obsessed with all the different gear, until 20 years later they are content with a simple manual view-finder camera.
