Are you addressing me, or just speaking in generalities? Teaching and pedagogy is a broad topic, and there are certainly things that can be done to improve most existing models. However, a willingness to tolerate some modest level of advers

I guess I'm going to be the asshole today : If someone lets a few rough edges on SO dissuade them from learning, they probably didn't care for any of this to begin with. I mean, every single one of these traumatized "beginner

What's odd is that you immediately try to insinuate some kind of nefarious bias because s/he didn't cite an incident that lines up with your political leanings. The parent is clearly in Oregon , so it's not exactly supe

Yeah. I've experienced way more problems with Atom than I ever have with Sublime (as a user). Crazy performance issues and crashes on literally every platform I've installed it on (including Windows and OSX). I agree with the pa

This strikes me as a bit of a fantasy. Very few people can recognize, and even fewer value, a "safe pair of hands". Let's not also forget this industry's rampant ageism, which even in good times sidelines experience in

Absolutely. The VA is a disgrace, and it's a clear cut example of the government not living up to its obligations vis a vis veterans. However, my point concerns public perception, which is to a significant degree the focus of the OP. S

Describing veterans as an un exotic underclass feels incorrect to me. Maybe it's just perception bias, but for instance my FB feed contains an order of magnitude more appeals for veterans causes than literally any other endeavor. GoFu

This is, in fact, really cool. Asking as someone who's relatively unfamiliar with .NET - what are the most significant differences between compile --native and ngen.exe? If I understand ngen correctly, it only compiles to native code a

It helps, but I honestly still think the use of terms like "better" and "too large" are inherently vague. Maybe it would be helpful to provide a contrast. Are you trying to pick between FB and Google? FB and Palantir? FB

I don't see how this question can be meaningfully answered as it's currently phrased. One person's "good place" is another's hellhole. Culture matters, and plenty of top tier companies and institutions have mut

Windows isn't so bad. I had a legit prejudice against it for the longest time, and did literally everything in my power to avoid it even as my team began working almost exclusively on .NET projects. Now I've bootcamped my mac and

I agree. It's a little frustrating to see so many argue so fervently of favor of work life balance literally at all costs. Professionals in western society don't just magically find themselves in the position of regularly making

Presumably the long arm of the US judicial system. I doubt they'd send drones after you in a non-extradition country, but short of that there's a lot they could potentially do to make your life very unpleasant.
