Pretty close to how I feel. It's not about the money - it's about personal progression and impact for me.

Upvoted to combat the lack of caring about honesty. Even if you don't have the money, stealing isn't justified.

So this is why they've been asking for donations? Made it seem like they're on the ropes.

I'm not sure about warehouse conditions, but from my experience in the home office, this sounds completely untrue. I'm not going back, but there were a ton of friendly people there. They treated interns really well, I think. My co

Why would contributing make them look bad? Are they trying to avoid being like everyone else? I guess that's an okay plan unless everyone else is being nice to each other.

Maybe my ignorance is showing, but I've felt like Apple has been the least involved major company of them all when it comes to community stuff. They feel so aloof to me. My impression is Microsoft used to be that way but is changing.

Being offended is not a condition imposed by another. It is a choice, and being offended is avoidable. My response to that student would be something like, "Isn't that great? Now you know how to repent." Might still warrant s

I'm surprised at how many people are agreeing with this article. I need a new phone soon, and all of my family members have iPhones, which is nice for group chat (maybe photo sharing too). I worry about getting an iPhone because I feel

Because people wanted to watch the little confetti splash, or observe the UI break when clicking the heart too fast. :)

I hope this isn't a ridiculous question, but why not hire more people instead?

In contrast, Walmart (where I worked as an intern this summer) is full of genuine kindness, bottom to top, as far as I could tell. I don't remember anyone saying a thing that was rude or harsh to me. Even higher ups seemed like cool pe

My first thought was: why are you helping people build the one of the worst UI components out there? Not sure where it should fit in the current UI? Oh just throw it in a modal, restricting the user's ability to interact with anything

It's nice to find a higher purpose in your work. If you are paid $10 and work worth $15, you're giving of yourself for others. Work is such a big part of life, it is good to go the extra mile and serve others while you're the

I don't like the idea of finding a soulmate, like there's only one person who you can be truly happy with. You find someone, and then work your guts out to be lovable and to love, and you become soulmates.

I can see this being used for command line UIs, and maybe it would be nice for source control for some reason. Other than that, I struggle to see its usefulness, and I'm a little surprised at all of the positive feedback. The website l

I feel like these stats are kind of misleading because of their questionable usefulness. It's not like it's outright dishonest, but "performance showdown"? What are the chances that a situation like the ones they tested
