I think this is a much stronger historical argument. Twitter came out in 2006, the soundbite culture was a big topic definitely before 2006 (Jon Stewart, for one, had been campaigning against it for years by that point)

We could do the same thing with Git though, so clearly source control scheme is not strongly correlated with actual success of the project -- which makes sense.

I read this book a few years back and enjoyed it, it’s good for understanding both sides of managing (up & down). The title is pretty flipping clickbaity but the book is pretty balanced, and I saw myself in some of the “tyrant” habits a

If you lent half the time & energy into reading, researching, and just general thinking about this problem that you have thinking about wild conspiracy theories, we'd all probably live in a better world for it. But we'll conti

The fact that this comment hasn't been downvoted into oblivion yet (in fact, it may be the top comment on this thread right now) is galling. I'll go ahead and emphatically state that I did down-vote this, because chalking up someo

I’ve not used one swing app where it wasn’t immediately clear how the app was made. It may check the box, much in the way that McDonald’s checks the “food” box, but I sure as hell don’t want to eat there.

This situation has exactly been covered in every silly sexual harassment video I’ve had to sit through. It’s quite literally “sexual harassment 101”.

That combined with skipping the return fee would set up some interesting dynamics (if you’re at month 10, are you going to ride out the rental to own it or do you pay to get it out). Can’t decide if that feels user hostile or not though :-)

Off the top of my head: 1. Security. It boggles the mind that companies with large source trees would let their entire source tree get cloned by a single developer. Maybe this isn’t really an issue but seems like you’re creating unnecessary
