There was a whole article about this recently... I forget where, probably the NY Times. Have you read it? Quite illuminating for me. Didn't even realize there was this whole issue/culture about being low-income + Ivy.

I think a large part about "tolerance" is actually knowing someone in [whatever minority group]. I've been thinking of having contrived mechanisms exist, basically "meet a gay person" info booths.

But it's another thing to be on Fox (the television channel) and on top of mind for young people. Gay is just an adjective to them, not this twisted idea with hateful baggage. Oh, she has red hair and he's gay. Moving on. It'

I blame Glee. I say that a bit tongue-in-cheek but it definitely helps to have gay culture and gay icons just out there in the world, melded seamlessly with the rest of society. This includes things like trashy teen comedies and musicals an

If true, I don't think it's ignorance. Not everyone is a Pythonista. Exactly how famous is this library?

This is kind of like the Google/Python effect. Early in Google's hiring, they heavily selected for Python, which was a relatively new language at the time. It's debatable if there was something technically unique or strong ab

Regardless of how petty you think it is, friction is a real concern. Any reason to disregard a resume ("Oh, it's hard open, in some format I don't understand") is just another strike against you. I'm not saying it&#

Similar to how Project Euler works. There are naive ways to solve certain problems (finding primes), but there is a general guideline that tasks should finish in under one minute (I believe).

Investigating code deltas tells you nothing about HOW the code got there. It's there. Someone committed it. But WHY? Hence, the commit message. "new feature. fix it. fixed. lol. WIP. COMPILES NOW" None of these tell you how t

Because commit messages are important.

I don't understand how you could possibly tolerate messy commit messages. It's as if you've never had to do a code investigation/audit ever, heaven forbid you do.

It's not LITERALLY about the period. It's about how content that contains periods tends to be written a certain way that the author doesn't care for in commit messages. Did you really not understand that?

Critical thinking will never be out of style, no matter how much people try.

Agreed. I've always thought there should be more ways to train up intermediate/advanced skills. I guess this is what pricey conference workshops are for...

It's entirely relevant. You're a recent grad. You haven't been landing your interviews. And he's giving you a plausible reason why. Your interpretation of it being insulting doesn't preclude it from being true.

A lot of companies want productivity NOW and aren't willing to tank the cost/risk of training someone junior. Also, some skills you can't/don't want to train into.

There was thing somewhere (Internet!) that the number one reason people switch jobs is because of their relationship with their manager. I agree with you. Happiness is hugely a function of said relationship.

I disagree with you that the history doesn't look pretty. Have you not found the ability to investigate/audit bugs hindered by non-linear histories?

Me too. I'm on team linear history and I still haven't gotten off my bum to make an article/presentation about it. But I'm with you, brother!

Great to see them doing so well. Personally, I'd like to see language learning apps explore the parts of language learning that Duolingo isn't good at. Also a high-quality, open source version of Duo would be awesome for super min

I guess this is pronounced "X-hive" and "B-hive"? Initially I thought it was "zive" and "bive", like "bive" was a foreign word from somewhere. Bhyve, the muse of unit tests!
