Yes, that is not good enough, and it was already over a day into their complete lack of communication. Just because you don't agree with it, doesn't mean it is not an argument. I would expect a company of amazon's size to g

They don't need to be on one line. If you really want to pretend that having them on one line is a problem, then put them each on their own line. You can even be needlessly verbose if you want to: do a <- GetBar foo

And look how poorly that worked out. People assume software will break all the time, because most of the software they are exposed to does exactly that. It is 2014. There is no excuse for using languages lacking important features from 1

Elegant is definitely the wrong word. Scheme is elegant. Go is simplistic. Not the same thing.

Yes, and "sit there refreshing a page over and over waiting to see if they update it because they refuse to even give you a hint of when they expect to be done" is not acceptable.

Mostly is as good as not at all though. Yes, you should stop using class hierarchies. Composition is the path to salvation.

Lots of people build up massive amounts of technical debt by using the wrong things. Things like mysql literally hold back progress. "Stop using garbage" is an important message to spread.

Mysql has schemas too, they are just mislabeled as "databases". The fact that mysql doesn't offer multiple databases is a bit of a concern of course.

I didn't say you would want to switch. I said most people use little photoshop functionality. If you think that is controversial, then I think you are delusional.
