There are advantages for dressing up but you'll never understand them by taking the majority view. Nobody cares what anyone wears at home we're talking comfort at work. And again, a suit is ultimately a dress down garment requiri

My dude! I'm feeling these items. Especially the white space. I've used coffeescript so I totally get it. As for RMS from what I just looked up it seems he was making one of those computer scientist arguments like "all the al

Wow! 100% agree on public schooling, I've witnessed it firsthand here during the pandemic. The kids were way better off without it. I'm feeling your other points too. It's funny how wrong we can be about such fundamental issu

How we dress at work makes way more of a difference than we understand. The main reason startup culture sucks people up and spits out their bones is because we've taken the worst parts of corporacy and left all the best ones to rot. If

Y'all are going to crucify me for this comment but I believe we also suffer this as a technology community. We assume certain unhelpful behaviours are the norm and perpetuate toxic defaults through the majority illusion and what amount
