The way posters here complained about Google shuttering their free offering I'd think people would shun switching to another free product, but nope! Bunch of whining free riders. Now I understand why Google dumped you.

"What About The Men!" cries a man who takes insult at the idea of a space he isn't welcome. An exception to the rules of society! And his point about all-woman hackathons is kinda refuted by his own banner image. A room full of men with t

I'm not sure Food Wench (servant) is in the same category as Marco Polo (worldwide trader), Dos Equis Guy(most interesting man in the world), and Jesse Pinkman (master cook).

" I clicked the link, but Hacker News is often blocked in the Marshall Islands, so I got a 404. " Is there reason for the blocking? Is it the government censoring content? Or is it simply an island nation has to ration its bandwidth? I ask

This is straight up using sex in an advertisement for a product SoapUI Pro by Smartbear. Slides 27, 28 and 29 are the only approaching anything that could be considered content and even calling them content would be generous.

The slides recommend UUIDs as a primary key ("just use UUIDs. seriously"). I took a look at the manual and there isn't too much of a Why (as well as 4 different versions of UUID to choose from). Anyone have a write up that explores UUIDs

Google search has a built-in tool for filtering sites out of your results. I haven't seen an experts exchange result in years. Just remove answers from your search results.

The write up does not address anything interesting. It doesn't even say why the company failed. Not enough users? Not enough revenue? Failures of technology? Not worth reading. A thank you letter to users is not a post mortem.
