In English, spelling is so seemingly arbitrary at times that I just gave up and quit caring so much. Judgment? Judgement? Who cares?! I won't budge on my thoughts on the importance of proper grammar though.

Well, going to a place where you feel you'll find like-minded folks is a totally different scenario than going to a bar with a script. At my coworking space we're next door to a total sales guy that asks, seemingly earnestly, the

As a cynic, yeah it sucks, but a lot of time it develops as a defense mechanism and feels like it can be defeated with a lot of soul-searching, self-improvement, and just trying.

I would agree entirely because I recognized this sometime in my early 20s and never looked back. Now I have a very, very select handful of friends that are all incredible people, but can't get along easily with 4 out of 5 people... I t

Yes but aren't probably a good 2/3 of "developer" jobs the relentless pursuit of arranging the chaos into routine? Funnily, is not a "routine" a building block of a programming language??

No chance I can do math in my head nearly as well at 30 as I could at even 25, but I can't count the other areas I have improved in that seem to mean so much more as an adult and as a professional. For example, I couldn't learn ot

You're right, it's most certainly not! I wish someone could tell us how it is "elitist" to point out that some people are "smart" and some aren't. Not every person can be nor desires to be an engineer&#x2F

I like to think this is because the workers are more inspired to work harder to "earn their keep". I'd say it's more likely the boss is keeping a closer eye on the workers' productivity and insists upon a bit more e
