I don't think this article is just about how people react to a coworker dying. It's an observation that regular presence of someone, particularly in the workplace, doesn't automatically lead the relationship past an acquaint

In case you missed it somehow - we live in a society that abandoned slavery, feudalism and even factory sweatshops more than a few years ago. Facebook isn't requiring him to do this. They are asking him to if he wants to get further

Indeed. The ROI on providing coffee free of charge to employees has to be huge. All that (free) caffeine works wonders for helping people stay awake and productive.

So we'll just ignore that one gear in the box and the several that make up the open differential?

No gears? That seems incredible (and false).

Sorry, I wanted to add that I agree with several others that the secondary nav is flawed, but couldn't really decide which comment to reply to. Most of the reasons to why it isn't very good have already been stated, but I agree my specific

Has some nice aspects, but that secondary nav is horrible in almost every way.

Are you implying that the drive and burning desire described by edw is something women are incapable of feeling towards programming? Or that they need extra hand holding and encouragement to be able to succeed in this field?

You are mostly missing my point, which has nothing to do with vim use magically making what you code perfect. Not sure why you are trying to say that is what we are positing. All I said was that it takes some of the mechanics of modifying

With this approach, visitors that are viewing a blog post's dedicated (permalink) page may not find an obvious way to get back to the root of the blog as the logo links to the associated company site. To me, this can be just as annoying, s

I'm surprised by the number of people who don't like using technology for what it was invented to do: make your life easier. That's my point - I don't see this being much easier or particularly valuable, considering I will always have to

Interesting, but I really do not like the implied HTML tags (+ blocking via indentation) going on there. Mentally parsing HTML isn't that bad for someone with a bit of experience. This would add a new wrinkle (i.e. friction) to design.
