I have yet to see any convincing case of someone who has the wealth to afford a computer, internet, and time to spend on Twitter whose "lives are threatened", and no hyperbole causes a larger eye roll from me.

I have seen a lot of your comments and articles over the past few months. I don't presume to put myself in your shoes, but my wife works in software engineering, and I work with several other women or wives of friends in the field. The

It seems to me that the "way people are built" these days is just a lack of discipline. We have grown up soft and effortlessly, and we did not grow the tools to cope with self regulation as it was never necessary. I don't see

Isn't the whole point of things like this to help edge cases? I grew up poor and did badly in school, but I was smart enough to score in the top 3% of SAT scores and that allowed me to get in to many colleges that I wanted, something I

I think it's easy to underestimate just how large and undeveloped the majority of the USA is. England has a population density of 275 people per square kilometer, 281 if you consider the entire UK. UK also has an agricultural area of a

No, I'm not the one claiming a modern Tacoma is as big as an old F150. Why is the burden on me to prove information presented as fact with no supporting evidence?

Okay wise guy: A 1990 f150 crew cab is 74" high, 232.2" long, and 79" wide. A 2021 Tacoma crew cab is 212" long, 71" high, and 74" wide. This proves false the the assertion that a modern Tacoma is bigger than a

In my experience, certificate issues is a huge tell into organization and treatment of IT folks. Every place I've worked which has had issues with last minute certificate changes or expiring certificates without renewal has had a syste

I used to live in Austin in 2007 until 2013. Even back then the transition to tech hub was well underway. We went from the Portland of the south to a yuppie paradise in fairly short order. Who can say whether the changes are good or bad? Th

On the flip side, as a dev with 10 years exp, I think TDD is a process crutch designed to cover up poor engineering by adding additional time spent to all work.

I always feel like these types of posts are too kind to generalists. Maybe that's just because I am one and I am falling for the greener grass. It's true I've done well in my career, but I've never felt particularly comp

I don't usually comment on here but this article seems poorly written and highly opinionated. While I agree that discussion can be had on the relationship between the working class of dying industry and the new wave of highly skilled y

Not really. Ads done properly are heavily tracked from appearance on a page to purchase of an item. When campaigns are no longer bringing in more revenue than they are costing, those campaigns are suspended. It has nothing to do with anythi

Economic problems come with a cost on human life. There are numerous studies and paper that show how bad being poor and unhappy are for a person's health. Why WOULDN'T we consider the economic ramifications?

A few things I try to remember about Reddit as someone who has used the site for 10+ years: 1. I keep getting older, and Reddit doesn't just stay the same, they get younger. There are a lot of kids on there from age 10-16, and these ki

You could even argue that the Dunning-Kruger effect applies MORE to specialists than generalists, as generalists are already approaching problems as if they don't have as much experience as a specialist and are more likely to research

I feel strongly about this topic because I'm at the point in my career where I've done several different positions instead of getting better at one and I'm wondering if I made a mistake. I started off in the software field as

I think that regardless of your social or political stance of anything regarding males, females, workplaces, salaries, or sexism, more data is always nice to have. Now I'm going to figure out how to twist this into fitting my own perso
