When I worked with a university partnered research lab, it wasn't uncommon to have a heavily biased sample based on the university student population. The students were significantly easier to tap into and often cheaper if compensation

There's such a thing as an unreasonable, unrealistic, or downright stupid demand as well. What you often see is a house of cards hacked together to try and support such demands on the web. Sending reasonably well visually formated text

Yup, if you want synchronous communication with me it better be an emergency or you better be an important person in my life, otherwise, you get async communication. A lot of things are better handled asynchronously and timing is often abus

Probably, but I'd say it's not far off from reality for many behavior and perspective wise. I think it unnecessarily transfers the behavior to misogyny (could easily be anyone/any sex), but that's the perspective many ho

While I tend to agree, the research we environment demands this nonsense. Also, they have to start somewhere to set a record to get future funding. Should probably do more survey studies of what data exists and where the state of things are

Well, you can be honest in the facts but the perspective around those facts is opinionated. Business culture pushes a constant optimistic outlook for perspective, which to me is ridiculous. It suffers from not only being optimistic when you

I believe you might have a slightly biased view of what front-end development largely looks like. What you're describing is the type of front-end development that goes on at the organizations that actually develop these frameworks. The

I tend to agree with this sentiment. Unfortunately, I think even outside the oligopolies of tech, we have another underlying issue where even in a competitive market, market consensus can arrive that runs counter to democratic ideals. I&#x2
