I don't think this is quite what the author was getting at. It's kind of a separate issue. Obviously all code is written for some end-user in the end, but this piece was about how the code is written, not what it does. When he says "who are

Hmmm... maybe the opposite should be pointed out.

Anything that takes up half of your waking hours shouldn't be "just" anything.

That's pretty sexist, isn't it?

Can you try not using double negatives like "does not involve ... activities outside first-hand knowledge"? It's really hard to read, especially since I'm tired.

This might sound like a cop-out response, but I'm reading Switch by ChipDan Heath and I think it'd help you out. It's a new perspective on getting change to stick. One idea I really liked is "focusing on the bright spots" - figuring out wha

I think it is possible for you to do this. Greasemonkey for Firefox allows you to run Javascript that modifies the way pages work. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748/ Actually, I found a script that claims to do exactly wh

I'm guessing it's internal, put together by Google people on their 20% hours. Technical people can be creative, too! At least, that's what I'd like to think.

Why not pay the $20 or whatever fee for Yahoo Gold and have it forward for you? Then you can switch to a different service, Gmail if you wanted. You'd probably be a lot happier in the long run if managing your email is a pain right now. And

Don't know if this is the best place to bring it up, but I don't think "bacn" is a good word for low-priority email. There are a lot of passionate email users who are even more passionate about bacon. There could even be a backlash.

As others have alluded to, it's hacker in the sense of someone skilled at programming, not someone who hacks into systems to screw things up. It's a definition of the word that the public isn't really familiar with.

Why would you take the yolks out if you wanted moar calories? Dietary cholesterol is no longer thought to be linked to blood cholesterol levels.

Those aren't mutually exclusive... people trying to be overly serious can't have childish (selfish/ignorant) or unprofessional behavior?

In this example, Google's clearly wrong. Facebook has an advantage in this arena. Why argue?

Telling someone why their idea is worthless and will fail is, while also useful, pretty negative. Telling someone how they can change their idea and informing them of the obstacles they'll need to overcome and being nice about is more use

Are you trying to say that Google is more correct than Facebook, even though it's completely backwards wrong?

I think if you need an email reminder about anniversaries/birthdays your relationship is pretty much shot. But maybe some of the other stuff could be useful for me. I think you need to make the past content much more visible on the site so

Haters gonna hate - you're always gonna find resistance from some people. Maybe it'll end up that your idea won't work as originally planned, but how is that different from any idea? No plan survives contact with the enemy.

Don't change course after you've invested significantly into an idea that is likely to come to fruition? Hmm, would never have thought of that...
