This tweet comes from a Labour activist and has zero evidence, so we should probably take it with a pinch of salt. Either way, I don’t see this as “religious discrimination”.

I have the exact same issue, been going on for three years now. I’ve also spoken to a psychologist, but nothing has helped so far. The feeling of chest pain is impossible to ignore. It feels hardwired.

If you feel like an impostor, chances are you are. Embrace it, relish it, learn, and you’ll become not an impostor.

I think it says both, frankly.

We do pay blue collar workers the market rate. Why do you think we don’t?

I saw a post on here recently about the “proportionality of code” (I think this was the term used) - as in, how much one line of code translates to in terms of work for the machine. Python was used as an example, in contrast with Go (list c

The culture of backlash from the public is causing free speech to be threatened. Both are true.

The fact that one person can (mostly on their own) create a tool as widely-used and respected as Redis is very inspirational to me. Good luck for the future!

That initiative is indeed cringeworthy and pandering. But this article feels more organic and genuine, to me. This article was written by a woman software engineer in her own time, and not commissioned by a boardroom full of bureaucrats, ma

FaceTime is not a complicated concept. It’s a phone call but with video. I’m sure you already know this, even if you’re pretending not to (to look “cool” I guess). If the author explained every single word used, he’d be writing a dictionary

Some people are just bad. There’s no economic reason for someone to rape and kill a child.
