This is blogspam -- these "thoughts" are merely rambling. Everything poignant (excuse the pun) to the disappearance of Mark and _why has already been discussed before; this post adds nothing.

What is a "skill rating platform"?

Because he was never a particularly talented coder, and because FB now has some top-tier talent that can do a far better job at coding that he can. Besides, contrary to popular belief, running a $100 billion company probably doesn't leave y

That comment sort of destroyed all your credibility. Would you care to elaborate where in the "real world" there is ever a situation where a tight, asynchronous event-processing loop is required to do heavy CPU lifting?

In a sense, you already have, by requiring the content to be hosted elsewhere and releasing the pulling code. There is beauty in simple tools like this one. Kudos.

If 75% of them thought it worthwhile enough to "toot Fred's horn", then in general, 75% of them might enjoy the rest of the comments also "tooting Fred's horn". I agree with you, but that's not something that can be ignored. Groupthink can

So you've now attached your name to admissions of psychosis. I understand your motivations on some level, but I sincerely hope that you don't regret doing so in the future. You wouldn't staple your medical information on your business card,
