That's cool. Still, I had a difficult time stomaching the exposition, though...all this "our harsh cruel capitalist world stifled me so I took a journey within..." (and then made some neat toys, apparently). It honestly feels

Do Clojure, so I use Java (directly anyhow) sometimes...through the bars of a cell where I keep it in my attic. Despite that, I'm not big on chasing frameworks or trends, and I think plenty of the community is that way (Rich Hickey him

Sure, have a few days of supplies for any given emergency, but you are fooling yourself if you think you are going to develop any tenable plan to ride out the apocalypse. Adapt, improvise, pray. That's it.

These Googler comments crack me up. "It may seem like this is out of control, etc., but for Google/my team..." That's just straight cruft, whether you are at Google or Billy Joe Bob's software shop.

Should anyone have a trending Twitter account just for them parroting as much to the world? I know for a fact people in our industry have spirited meetings about PII grey areas and other hairy issues, it's jarring to me to see the same

Nuance and context like "Elon is bad, of course he's bad" and "of course this is hypocrisy and nothing more"...because that's what we've gotten so far. As usual, there are two sides to every story unless y

I find this armchair psychology a bit repulsive--the assumption that one has successfully dissected another and knows the base ingredients that make them tick. If you think about it, to think you know people (figures, if you like) inside ou
