I'm not sure if you realize this, but as time passes people get older, and they usually gain experience. Soon, Gen X-ers will be the ones with the optimal experience/dementia ratio. Also, yelling the loudest is problem the predate

If you're maintaining a configuration file in JSON format, you're using the wrong tool for the job. I know a certain popular package manager does exactly this, but popular doesn't necessarily mean well designed.

Wow. I was playing outside by myself by kindergarten (though, just in the yard & neighbors). By middle school, I basically just came home to drop my books off, and then for dinner. Most of my playing outside happened before middle-schoo

It depends a bit on your dialect. On the west coast of North America, "you guys" and likewise "guys" is probaly the most un-marked form of 2-nd person plural. In other places it's "y'all". I'm no
