PG's not God, he's just another person. As am I.

Really? Spend some time in Kentucky, rural areas anywhere, or in Flint Michigan. It's less about finishing any level of education, and more about supportive family access to person…

There is no "tech skill shortage," there are barriers that need to be broken to empower non-middle-class, US origin n00bz. Likewise: we need to get past our unhealthy obsession w/ …
