"It’s Not Enough to Be Right – You Also Have to Be Kind", 9 days ago.
- yesenadam 7y agoHaha, I thought you were satirizing the C vs Lisp article... but no, it's a direct quote! Amazing. The article on kindness was well worth reading, thank you. It ends "If you can’t be kind, if you won’t empathize, then you’re not on the team. That team is Team Humanity, where we are all in this thing together. Where we are all flawed and imperfect. Where we treat other people’s point of view as charitably as we treat our own. Where we are civilized and respectful and, above all, kind to each other—particularly the less fortunate, the mistaken, and the afraid." https://forge.medium.com/its-not-enough-to-be-right-you-also-have-to-be-kind-b8814111fe1?gi=7b430aa08349 https://forge.medium.com/its-not-enough-to-be-right-you-also...
