His mother is a rich successful model. What poor person has the means to move to another country and start a tech company. How are you so massively illogical and incoherent in your ability to think?

You are implying that poor people are a result of poor parenting, this is beyond stupid. Poor parenting is a result of poverty. It is massively difficult to parent well when you are in financially dire situations constantly, surrounded by

If race “doesn’t matter” to rich people, but is rather used as a tool by the rich to cause in fighting amongst the powerless (which is true and seems to be what you’re implying), then in fact race does matter as it affects how the powerless

Thank you for your anecdotal evidence and the obvious truism that wealth opens doors. Black people make 57.50 to every 100 dollars a White person makes. The majority of wealthy people in America are white. 90% of all people lose their weal

Considering black people were still living under Jim Crow just 11 years prior to 1976, it would have been impossible for a black person to enjoy the sorts of privileges that come from having rich and successful parents. No one is devaluing

The idea that it’s simple to build, design, audio engineer, graphic design, run a company, market the product, do accounting/taxes, figure out your legal stuff, etc is patently absurd

In NYC you expected to be at work at most companies for 9-10 hours a day, you are expected to go to all their social events, and you are expected to act like a logic lording startup bro (even when the company is far past the startup stage).

All organizations are reactionary and necessarily settle on the state of the world at the current moment. This is an extremely bizarre line of logic you are using. There is always version lock in at some point, and NO workers like change i

General consensus amongst the developers that work directly with the person being investigated. It's pretty easy. Head butting with poor managers and broken company structures with ZERO recourse is the problem. The strawman you'

I find statements like this both cringe and problematic. The heavy emphasis on industry defined identity is creepy, extremely impersonal, and backwards. I've been a software developer in advertising, various startups and have friends

I wasn’t counting isms, the article is about the treatment of people in anonymous chats based on gender, where women and particularly good looking women are treated more poorly. This Is about sexism, not about gamers learning to be mean to

I believe this comment is turning an issue of sexism into an issue of impoliteness that's developed around the culture of gaming, and I think that's a particularly toxic viewpoint. Rather than addressing the real fact that women a

Guitars (or any musical instrument) are essentially REPLs and therefore do provide instant feedback and often gratification. Learning to do anything well takes a lot of time, so that statement is true == true. Learning to have fun with som

JavaScript looks nothing like the “created in 10 days” version to which you speak. I would highly suggest you take an uncomfirmation(?) biased look at the language as it is now. Asyncs simplicity is arguably a reason why it’s a good platf

This happens in all languages... look at the Toyota acceleration bug for a real world of example of your hyperbole. They were using MISRA C. Languages dont fix spaghetti, laziness, tight deadlines, bad engineers, etc.
