    I like the design of the site. It's simple and easy to follow. I would appreciate if you had more login options and examples than simply twitter. I don't see an option to edit the …

    CS career questions is an odd ball though. Internet isn't a reliable way to assess what young people actually think especially in geek or programming circles. Also, it's not just y…

    I think I am qualified to answer this. It's harder to fool people when you can look at metrics compared to before. Information is widely available so adults can't make up rainbows …
