He's the subject of the story, and occupation/employer are a major part of our identities. This is not "YouTube user goes on drug-fueld rampage," which would be superfluous.

I doubt that a recession is looming, because the fear is fanned by perceived periodicity, while the economy solidly expands mostly on the back of the software industry's expansion. The market will ride that software expansion for some

We are saying the same thing. There are way more entry-level opportunites in web development, and the barrier to entry is lower.

Certainly, I only mentioned it because I've noticed that pattern. If you look at job listings for the same company, the frontend positions often pay less, have less stringent requirements, etc.

Like I said, it hits the experienced people hardest. At the bottom of the bust, there were still tons of new web properties going up, redesigns happening, and so on, and you could absolutely get a job building websites. I know plenty of peo

Web development has always been an entry-level position, lead frontend or lead web developer is always lower-class than lead backend or what have you. But it's still good, well-compensated work. OP should be careful to not get caught u

Is there any evidence for the "shake-out"? I haven't seen it in 20 years, demand for new web applications continues to outpace supply of competent developers. A recession is not a "shake-out" because it hits experie

If it's an argentine ant and you're not in that part of the world, you should eradicate with prejudice as they're an invasive species.

Well I'm no groth hax0r like OP, but it shouldn't be too difficult for them to sit down and write an actual comment. Like you just did, and like I'm doing right now. Who cares if a lazy spammer has a heart of gold?

You won't find much neolithic civilization outside of North Sentinel Island and the deep Amazon.

I don't have a strong opinion either way, but do we really have to call the decision to not have kids "genetic suicide?" I'm not the sole custodian of my genetics, it's not like I have some freak mutation that'

I don't have any problem with the usual tourist attire, but still appreciate if people are dressed nicely. Parent may have a stronger view.

Not what I was expecting at all, I wish people dressed that well on vacation. I thought you were going to link to someting more like https://goo.gl/maps/AnzFYfXAuCDt2rDD8 That said, all of these measures you describe a

I love the comments about going off the beaten path to avoid tourists. The entire city is a tourist trap, who are you fooling?

I tried to think of others, but availability bias means I'm stuck on recency bias.

Where's the TodoMVC?

I don't think it's in good taste to use a reserved word like "with" in the API either. And it feels like it's being used in places where a plain function call would suffice (you call a function "with" para

If I follow your logic, lethal force is justified in any physical conflict because of the risk of "one wrong bump to the head."

China is neither totalitarian nor is it a dictatorship. It is an authoritarian single-party state, but let's not play fast and loose with classification here.

Have you tried searching reddit for threads about a current event, only to find pages of results of vitriolic/psychotic ("trolling!") /r/The_Donald posts? I'm pretty tired of it and I hope they ban that sub and
