This is very anti-progressive and economically idiotic. If landlords can't handle owning without rent, there is a very simple solution: SELL. All housing is very inflated right now so it is highly unlikely that their equity is under wa

I've lived in both SF and north of 110th street in NYC. I frequently visit tough parts of Bedstuy. There is absolutely no comparison - the worst parts of SF is much more dangerous than the worst parts of NYC. Expensive shithole is an a

People who think this is predatory have clearly NOT worked in the TV / Film industry. Doing shit jobs for free in the hopes of getting some cred is the norm. Not right but not news. BTW just because it's going to be on Netflix do

Totally agree with your assessment of Django in terms of its templating and SSR abilities. It's horrible and should be avoided at all costs. However, the Django admin system is extremely powerful and saves you a HUGE amount of dev time

Reading "Delivering Happiness" inspired me to quit a legal career I hated, learn to code on nights and weekends. Today, I'm the CTO of a promising startup. Thank you, Tony.

You accuse my argument ala the "Satya-Sundar fallacy" as specious because I use a few cherry picked examples to demonstrate demonstrate a general fact that isn't true? Also you suggest that language fluency might be a factor?
