My thought exactly. Actually I was think - "geez, these people are such hipsters". Everyone loves the "cool" languages - Scala, Haskell, etc. But of course the lame languages suck (Java). Though I was pleasantly surp

Just because you lived in Texas doesn't give you a pass in saying such a hateful thing. This is the most ignorant thing I've seen on HN in a long time.

Totally agree. Just wonder why the focus seems to be on just the IT industry (maybe that's the only ones I'm seeing since I'm on tech sites).

These guys are idiots and there is definitely sexism in the IT industry. But every time I see these stories saying there is sexism in IT I think compared to what? Finance (Wall Street!)? Marketing? Law? Government? Military? Manufacturing

I used to hate telling people I was a Web Developer. People would always say, "oh you build websites! I've done that some myself with Front Page!". Basically most of my career I've done traditional business application

There are many imbeciles who think that social programs just rain from the sky. Maybe not so much here.

Drilling isn't ultra-conservative. Most Americans are fine with drilling if it means better jobs/economy. Ultra implies only a very small minority would be in favor of this.

SG customer as well. What's all the negativity towards them? Is there something I should know about them? I wasn't aware of any incidents.

I don't think he means the literal geographic area, but the VCs and startup folks that most people think of when saying "Silicon Valley". I don't consider this title misleading. I didn't think for one moment he was talking about the fireme

"It’s also worth noting that a quota system wouldn’t really explain the drop on the 31st...". Maybe on the 28th or so they panic and start issuing tickets. And by the 31st they've made their quota and relax. They don't want to wait to the

I completely agree with you. I think these demands on society are unrealistic. You can't expect that out of teachers and pediatricians. My experience with the school system (I have a daughter with autism) has been much better then his sou
