That's probably a fair call out. I don't think that I can point to any recent personal examples of clear bias / stigma.

Yes, most of my work has been in fields that are highly credentialed.

I'm a Senior II and tech lead at work and I've always been on the programming track. Around ~22 months ago, I had a cold call from someone in HR asking me, "Did you finish your degree?" It was unusual. I'm not sure

I'm in my early 40s. I dropped out of university. I've been programming professionally, in a wide range of contexts and in various industries and niche markets, for over 15 years. I still deal with the stigma associated with not h

I no longer write Ruby professionally but in my last 18-24 months of Ruby work I leaned heavily on some of Jeremy's excellent work with roda, sequel, and others (forme, erubi, rack-unreloader, etc.). Top notch work, truly. I had no i

I mean people stopping at a red arrow for a left turn, looking around, getting impatient, and then taking the left anyway.

It was wonderful on an eeePC 1000HA that I picked up in 2008. I used that netbook until 2014 or 2015 when I needed more RAM and IIRC I couldn't extend it beyond 2GB. I've been on ThinkPads as my personal laptop ever since but I do

Who's taking about speeding? I'm talking about people who treat red arrows like stop signs or worse. People that don't stop for stop signs. People that don't yield to pedestrians. People that turn right on red in no righ

That may very well be. Especially in California. Where I grew up in Ohio, there was a lot of traffic enforcement. Conversations with family leads me to believe there is still some degree of enforcement happening in that area, But I'v

Not using a turn signal is probably the least offensive thing that I see while driving around SoCal, to be perfectly honest with you. Not a day goes by that I don't see people blowing through stop signs and even red lights now. I don&#

Hey there. I'm not sure where I'd start, to be honest. My wife and I recently had our 3rd child. As a result, I've been opting for easier reading material over the last ~4 months. I don't really maintain reading lists, o

I was going to give a nod towards what you're saying in my post but I decided against it. I was a competitive FPS player in the late 90s and early 2000s. Quake 2, Quake 3, and Rocket Arena 3. If I was still a competitive FPS player, I

I put down at least 1/4 to 1/3 of the books that I start. I have very limited time to read (3 kids under 3 years, etc.). I won't spend that resource doing something that I am not enjoying. How do you do it?

by scruple 5y ago
I agree! I'm a voracious reader but I am very put off by books that I find to be, to borrow the phrase, "garbage." I spend a lot of time curating my reading list, as a result, and I'm always on the lookout for solid reco

But you're not a teacher, right? Is this test not testing something that a teacher kind of sort of ought to know well enough to... teach ?
