Mature adults should be able to take criticism without getting butt-hurt about it. The real world can be mean and nasty and sometimes you need a wake-up call that you're being silly or screwing up.

True, I really need to invest in some more gear! I have a wah pedal but that's about it.

I can totally relate to the wierdo accents haha! Sometimes when I get frustrated with some particularly troublesome code while working alone I'll drop into a thick english cockney accent (or at least my best impression) and start trash

Agreed, I think it's perfectly normal as long as you don't think you're actually talking to someone (or hearing someone). I'll pace around talking to myself when prepping for a meeting - it's basically practice fo

Playing guitar, it's a great creative outlet when I'm tired of staring at screens. I've been playing for ~15 years but I don't really consider myself a musician - I mostly play for fun and don't bother trying to lea

I don't know why more people don't understand this. Is it because they have no exposure or experience in military matters? I don't understand how so many people think the 2A is obsolete... it's just as effective today as

ffmpeg is open source and cross-platform, no need for infested crapware.

Wouldn't it be way easier and better for the driver to just open a bank account? Why would they want to tie something as important as making car payments to their ephemeral gig work?

Agreed, freedom and autonomy to do what I want and like is what really makes me happy and money is simply a means to that end. I'm still just getting started and nowhere near where I want to be so the hustle continues...

They never said that, you're putting words in their mouth. They said their main focus was money and that they're not speaking for everyone. Yes, that's a very balanced comment. You are the one who is being unbalanced.

Same here, started off with PHP around a decade ago and couldn't wait to move to another server-side language. Nowadays it's much nicer to work with (as long as you avoid the warts) and PHP 8 looks to deliver another slew of welco

I like and use React on almost a daily basis but I'll admit it can definitely be overly verbose sometimes (at least WidgetFactoryFactory's aren't common like in some other languages). I know next to nothing about Svelte thoug

So typical that all the social media platforms are complicit in their little scheme. All of them are happy to silence this guy who is pointing out blatant fraud and corruption without a second thought. Broken copyright system once again a m

Thank you. It just comes off very elitist and distasteful, not something you like to see in people doing big things. We want to look up to these people, not cringe when they "coin" a common phrase and dig their heels in when confr

I'm also not a big fan of his snark in this particular video but it's not that big of a deal and he doesn't usually come on as strong in his other videos.

It took me less than 15m to vote on Tuesday, no lines or anything (deep red county). I've heard of people waiting for hours but that's because their local govt failed them (not enough locations, under-staffed, etc). IMO seems more

Please don't misinterpret a vocal minority as the will of 50% of the country. We all want every vote to be counted. There's a lot of drama and accusations flying around with emotions running hot.

Crap like this will continue to happen until we can figure out a better copyright and IP framework.
