Have you read any previous discussion om HN about slack? There are plenty of people holding views OP attacked, so hardly a strawman.

That is not everything. Otherwise we would be still using physical mail.

I know plenty of people using Whatsapp and no people caring at all about its approach to privacy. I have not heard of those other two platforms outside of privacy-obsessed communities. Are real usage data disproving my anecdata?

It's funny how you are trying to defame Damore and then take offense at the perceived insult. And all the appeals to authority can be used against you - you are not an expert in those fields, so you cannot claim Damore is wrong. At lea

> Why train an entire dev team on it only to have half leave in a year Errr, Ember is the most stable of currently used JS frameworks. And generally this whole "change JS framework every year" meme is crazily overblown.

LinkedIn uses ember, but other than that I have not heard about big examples either.

Well Damore tried to make a lot arguments, I think his (main) fault wasn't in omitting some important ones. And thanks, I'm thinking about making blog a lot, but I have no time.

You assume that "the lower average" group will apply as much (i.e. lower ability people will apply too) as the "higher average" group. I could now point "confused or insincere" right back at you ... But at leas

Well it is still mostly JS. Claiming JS is crap (often stated as "beyond repair") and TS is good just because of (arguably) light addition shows some serious cognitive dissonance. But nevermind: > The fact that it can be transp

Sure, I bet community is great otherwise, it is just occassional elitism (which I guess was inherited from the C++ community) that comes off as toxic. Btw that same survey showed how people are quite fine with writing JS, which makes this e

Why is JS bad at "what it tries to do"? I've honestly not seen answer in these discussions, even though everyone acts like they are obvious. From my experience main problems seem to be: 1) poor static analysis of code, leadin

Yes, and students from those schools are super confused when they want to write anything for real use. Schools teach a lot of things in a wrong way.

Depends on the contry I guess, however for Central Europe that ranking seems just wrong. Java is likely to be #1 here. JS & PHP are much higher as well.

I'd say going with more than one language will just confuse beginner. I've seen many students struggle with the language soup schools cook for them.

Well I heard those statements a lot, even on HN you can see them frequently. And I don't think government does everything inefficiently, at least in our country (cz). So what do libertarians represent really? Quick search for "l
