This isn't very helpful, as most of the article isn't readable without the JS that the NYT serves. Also, it seems like this article _isn't_ behind their paywall.

His most played works are (I think) symphonies 5 and 7. The 7th was written in 1941. That said, I've seen a bunch of his later works performed too. But this is just nitpicking. Without a good definition of "standard orchestral rep

Ah, the most dissonant of all chords, the perfect 5th plus an octave, also known as the power chord.

I'm the author, and if you look at my profile ( https://github.com/autarch ) you'll see that it links to a bunch of repos. In fact, one of the main reasons I wrote this profile generator was because I wanted an auto

Nice profile! I agree that it'd be nice to be able to add some more metadata to repos. Here's a relatively ridiculous idea ... You could simply add a `REPO_META.JSON` file to some or all of your repos then a profile generator coul

This is my blog post. I'm happy to answer any questions folks might have. I've actually revised the code a fair bit since this post. There were some bugs where it was missing some repos. Retrieving all the right data via the GitHu

Yes, to echo the other response, I don't think my mindset is unusual. What you're suggesting is too much for most candidates. Also, it's a candidate's market right now, at least for experienced devs like myself. I'm

I'm no expert on VAT, but it seems like this is a lot more like the sales tax case, where you are required to pass the cost on to customers. I'm sure companies prefer to avoid this, but it doesn't seem like it'd be nearl

I didn't use the words "triggered" or "micro-aggressions", so what exactly are you quoting? Saying "your project sucks" or "your project docs suck" is not a _micro_-aggression, it's a macro-
