I'd like to suggest an edit to two kinds of programmers: There are programmers that care about the quality, elegance, and beauty of their code, and there are programmers who just want to make the most people happy as fast as possible.

Definitely a demographic shift. And maybe business smart: cheaper to hire and onboard web devs etc. But that doesn't mean the company and its product shouldn't be critiqued for its architecture (even more so because it is a softwa

Why would a tech company not build its flagship product natively on the platforms where it runs? It seems like a generation drift: an obliviousness to the world outside of JS/web dev, and a general disregard for application performance

Amazing! What a strong argument. I've never heard of this (socialist) guy. Personally, I am a life-long new yorker (and capitalist) living in a luxury, deregulated building paying slightly more than market rate for my housing. My landl

Oh the injustice! Rent stabilization is only applicable to units costing $2500 or less (regardless of size), in buildings built between February 1, 1947 and January 1, 1974. http://www.nycrgb.org/html/resources/faq

You might have a good job, but it's probably not good enough for a decent life in New York. Either that, or you just don't know how to find quality housing in your price range. It's not easy for out of towners the first few y

The building that I currently live in in Manhattan was taken out of rent regulation (stabilization) with my lease. It's a well managed elevator building from the 70s. I'm perfectly fine paying several times more than some of the b

OP: it seems like it's time to seek professional help. Your post implies worries about your mental health. Time spent regularly seeing a counselor is probably going to the be most effective thing for you.

Whatever your preconceived notions of psychoanalysis or any kind of therapy (the kind not involving drugs), I would strongly urge you to seek out a well-regarded and senior shrink or therapist in your area that you can afford to see at leas
