I don’t understand this response, all of us judge each other all of the time on secret, unspoken metrics, that’s human nature. Our entire culture and society is partly built on what is not said. Your bank is scoring you by machine, so is yo

See where I said “none taken as absolute because there are assumptions in each one” And “Use these as a springboard for deeper analysis of devs” These are only used as high level metrics to guide further analysis, we are keenly aware of the

Agree 100%, the headset is too heavy, prolonged use (a few hours) gives me a rash and makes me all sweaty, and my neck hurts and it gives me a headache. Mine sits in the corner gathering dust

When people say they enjoy travelling, they mean they enjoy the destination - I don’t think anybody enjoys the plane ride. If you’re going to focus on the plane ride and the expensive hotel, I can see why you don’t enjoy it. I enjoy travell
