Thanks for pointing it out. I have edited out personal comments on her and my own stance. Didn't think it would be perceived as garnering sympathy, but if people feel that way I am happy to remove it.

Yes. Maybe I am too conscious of people disagreeing with each other. It's actually very normal. Thanks for pointing that out. I think might be due to the downvotes somehow. It makes you wonder if you did something wrongly or it is simp

I tried my best, but I can't control how other people interpret it. That's what comments are for after all, to deal with information asymmetry like this. I just don't get it. What's wrong with expressing my love for a la

Do you mean you prefer to just follow instructions given by product managers as a robot rather than exercising your creativity and enjoy coding? Or am I reading your statement wrongly? That sounds like a terrible job to have.

I made a similar web app a while ago. However, in my web app, I sort by reverse order by default to show the most heated submissions first, with the option to reverse the order. As a bonus, it also has past archives. Feel free to check it o

I am not sure why this comment with such blatant discrimination against nationality is not immediately down-voted or flagged. This is the same line of argument as the Muslim ban.
