Yeah that is a great point, I would have never let it get to this point. That is 100% a pet peeve of mine: Places that hire perfectly capable jr. engineers and then fail to give them the support they need.

You are never an asshole for telling the truth. I've dealt with this before, it is a form of gas-lighting. Some people are good at making everyone else into a bully when THEY are the actual bully. Like the kid who keeps splashing you i

It's unfortunate that in this industry, on a lot of teams, "high performer" means "sloppy coder who lets his co-workers finish their project." The problems he encountered with his dumbass solution were EASILY forese

That's a good perspective actually. I myself have been critical of University computer science programs for not teaching practical skills. I always forget because I went to DePaul University which focus is on practical software develop

100%. Bill Gate and Mark Zuckerberg both grew up fantastically wealthy. Their decision making process should be different than the average person. Gate's parents had friends in high places, went to high quality schools, and he was a t

They did a big re-platform from a Django site to the Kinja platform. Probably just a bug/moved link

"That's just like, your opinion, man." So sick of opinion in this industry. We should not accept such lazy arguments anymore. If you want to make an assertion, back it up. I will make my argument for why types are a good thin

I've always thought that the civilization series are actually pretty educational: You spend hours and hours in this game, full of real world countries and leaders, and a huge wealth of information is stored in the "civipedia"

OH! Ok that actually makes sense when you put it in context. I would probably develop a framework and do free gatsbyjs/netlify static sites that link back to a centralized payment processor service

You are moving the goal post but if you are really so ill-informed about this issue, I will go ahead and give you an example: If a well funded group of people are publishing information about a minority group in order to incite and justify

One of the hills I am willing to die on is auto-formatting. Code formatting is easily automated to an acceptable level, and people's personal preferences are subjective. I like to solve interesting problems, and concentrate on crafting

I graduated around the same time. We got burned BADLY and I think people started paying attention around that time.

> A poor kid from a bad neighborhood cannot compete with that Yes. Exactly. You have no idea. I went to a poor rural school. We had 0 AP classes. We did 0 ACT prep, wasn't even mentioned. I didn't even know you could retake it.

The US is politically constipated. The people at the top do not want to help the people at the bottom at their expense, even though they have ALL of the power at this point. They are not malicious, per se, but they don't explicitly car

I am willing to bet they just did not want to hear about these cards anymore, and this is as far as they can go since they do not have a magic lamp to wish them all a way. The cards mentioned above are NOT good in play, they are only notabl

Black creatures are "death" creatures, and are things like "Demonic Tutor", "Dark Ritual", "Rune-Scarred Demon"... Demons and vampires and zombies and things like that. The use of "Black" as

It is not ironic, it is 100% intentional. The city does not want to buy into the "build more lanes" ponzi scheme because it cannibalizes the livability of the city, and communities near large highways shrivel up and die. The city

Working more is not a guarantee to becoming wealthier or living a better life. And "learning a new skill" can take an interminable amount of time. Leisure time that we have less and less of as our commute get longer, due to housin

We do want to build things. Our government has rotted from the inside and people inside of our government contribute a large amount of their effort to protecting their own wealth. Look at the senator insider trading story from a few months
