The best response to this question is: "yeah... I think we're done here?". The retards who think this is a good way to filter a good programmer from a bad programmer are idiotic enough to offer you a job because obviously you are exactly t

I think we can all agree that the criminal justice system needs a system redesign. The Criminal Justice System treats programmers like trash. Like a defective airplane that kills a bunch of passengers once in a while, the fact that it work

So your solution is for them to charge fair prices? While we are fixing prices, I suggest we also fix the prices of DeBeers diamonds to appropriate market value. Then why stop there? Lets have the government set the prices of all overpri
