Like all things... this too shall pass.

Savantism is a separate concept from autism, though popular culture has somehow associated the two.

every language has its problems; Go I think is pretty good despite them. not saying points raised in the article are invalid, you def have to be careful, and I hate the "nil interf…

Not arguing against you in any way, but IMO, if you're at a place where politics will dictate your _actual continued employment_, it's probably not somewhere I'd particularly enjoy…

Why does it matter if you don't get promoted? What if you like doing good work, making all that impact by osmosis anyway, but do it for the sake of just liking your damn job ?

As someone who wholeheartedly agrees with this statement, I do wonder why this mentality is so prevalent. Is it just a consequence of natural selection? Those who want to grow and …
