My whole twitter account is 100% only recruiter bait. I cycle my reddit nicks every 2 months or so. I've cleaned out everything that I've posted as a teenager (even though I am a sensible person) Not taking any chances. Saw the wr

Counterpoint: I've attempted to prevent it from becoming a political shitshow by specifically following people only in my field, yet it somehow seems to bring up political bullshit to me. Youtube is far easier to make intellectual, the

Voting for your own and your family's interest is being racist. Okay, hnewslet. I guess I'm just one of those minorities that is in fact a racist white person in disguise.

People pay software engineers higher wages because of the risk of them leaving and taking all of their domain knowledge with them. Not because of their "cost of living", and not because of what's "fair". It's p

I wouldn't describe "hnewslet" as lazy. Actually, I'm quite proud of that one.

You do not need to be a CS bro to learn the basics of data structures & algorithms. If you're a self-proclaimed autodidact, couldn't you just learn it yourself? Of course, hnewslets who get filtered by such interviews will com

Letting your kid browse algorithmically generated content is not wise :P If I'm vulnerable to stupid clickbait, can't imagine how badly children can be manipulated.
