I like using codewars.com for learning new languages. Just pick a language and start running through problems. I think the best part about it is that you can review other solutions…

Very snarky response. I think the poster you replied to was trying to point out that the reason this happens is because the government prints money and if they don't take the money…

None of the things in this article are specific to programming, they are all just the potential downsides of being an employee. In some situations you are an inferior, replaceable …

Probably not, I think there is utility in relating two similar things, especially when someone is likely to be more familiar with one over the other. Someone who knows networks rea…

The takeaway is that the deaf man could be you. Cops and judges are flawed, and you should be wary of them. Also, you aren't being forced to read the news, if you don't find the in…

Many of the replies in this thread talk about empathy, and I get where they are coming from. The problem is, if your priority when hiring was empathy you would just offer the job t…

Maybe it is normal in your country, but where I am from in the US, parents want their kids to be self-sufficient as soon as possible. The author herself said it was embarrassing. I…

Yeah I was waiting for the point in this article where it became about "outdoorsy types" and not the author but it never happened. I'd be embarrassed too, mismanaging money and rel…

>We do like drinking and eating together though, so we got that! Regardless of the details of your argument, or whether my paraphrase of your original comment was accurate, it is a…

>the secular regular get-together groups for people without any unifying interests or socioeconomic status Unfortunately, I don't think what you are describing ever existed. Every …

Everyone is attacking the overall theme of this article, and I agree with many of the points made, but nobody seems to be focused on the actual solutions provided in the article wh…

I don't think the point of lowercased's comment was that devs don't underestimate tasks to the same degree that "outside-of-technical-people" might. They are saying that "outside-o…

Just because there isn't a top-down solution that eradicates the source of the issue doesn't mean it shouldn't be observed and discussed. You pointed out that you can't "beef" with…

Ahh yes, arguing about semantics.

It's up to the reader to decide what is worthwhile for them. Also, whether that quote is relevant or not is not what is being argued. The original dispute (on a surface level) was …

Given the degree of your outrage, I think something other than "rhetorical technique" has triggered you here. Then again, maybe you are just really really opinionated about "rhetor…

Great point. Another subtle aspect to this kind of rhetoric is that it's about an issue so pervasive that it's disingenuous to present this as new information. Even as a boy you ha…

I had the exact same thought. I skimmed through the rest of the article. The author's frustrations seem to center around the fact that she is a diversity hire, which is made even m…

The part about "doing everything" for someone hit home at first, but it took a turn when you mentioned leaving that position. Sometimes I've had managers come in and just take over…

The idea of "women have it tougher than men" is naive and toxic. You can try to justify it by saying that your ideas are "based on lots of reading of stuff", but it's obvious you a…

>having kids and the threat of potentially having kids undermines female income on a regular basis The only reason you see it this way is because of your previous point regarding w…

>You might have missed it I did miss that. Would love a citation. >You are disingenuous It doesn't make sense to say that I might have missed something then accuse me of being disi…

>You're uncharitably assuming this Why should I be charitable towards apple? >Apple's custom silicon Sounds like more marketing for Apple.

I'm sorry but when the solution to your research paper is consumer technology sold by the company you work for, you are just advertising not innovating. Nothing about the apple wat…
