More platitudes. This comment was also unnecessarily rude. Enjoy the day.

Yep, I've been intentional in including veganism, and I've noticed others are bringing up vegetarianism.

Right. I'm not asking about studies about people that may or may not have chose veganism/vegetarianism at a certain point, but about large groups that exist that way for significant periods of time. People that seek out a certain

I spent some time as a manager and decided I'd never do it again. Many of the places I've worked and observed have directors, principals, architects etc who've never been a manager, and do not include managerial experience as

> You're right that the "vertical slice" approach has been used very successfully in games development, though. Oh I know, I worked in game development for years :). Was really just trying to get a short description.

You're right! I skimmed the first paragraph, as I was mostly just looking for a description of vertical slices in games. The rest of the content does not in fact validate my statement.
