Exactly bro! Now keep on rocking in the free world and understand that hubris alone does not a good programmer make but a good programmer is hubristic. Therefore hubris is a poor heuristic no matter what any tech bro tells you. Therefore yo

An interview is nothing but a glorified prisoners dilemma aka cooperation dilemma. Signalling that you're taking the path of least resistance aka snitching is hardly ingenious. And you call yourself a software professional!

Bro, people don't have any opinions of their own they just pick them up along the way. Think about it.

I've worn these clothes every day for the past five years. That probably identifies me directly if you've worked with me -> https://twitter.com/matthewwalther/status/128234456305575526... Best clothin

"What a billionaire CEO is telling you when he shows up to a shareholder meeting in a hooded sweatshirt or athleisure wear that costs more than most people's mortgage is that your sense of dignity means nothing to him: he is above

I think I've scraped the bottom of the barrel of YouTube content and ads, the worst are these Japanese weight loss commercials. How's your situation, are you still learning and pursuing your own journey? I can totally relate to th

Social and political are synonyms my dude but yes not all communication is political but all communication is social.

We have a far too narrow view of what constitutes social media. Every medium is a social one if you think about it and every social medium is political. The medium has and always will be the message and when you get to the core you underst

100%. The bank I used to work at had a part of the employee handbook dedicated to what happens if you're kidnapped. We're just being naive and casual as we are wont to do. Bro don't worry have another free granola bar. And in

The irony of this is too much. The guy who pioneered privacy invasion as a philosophy is guarding his own privacy. He should have a Facebook live stream following him 24/7

No! It's all the knowledge we've amassed that we hardly put to any use beyond milking it for entitlements. Who ever speaks about our duty to our fellow man and the giants whose shoulders we stand on? I blame a lack of classical ed

Hey it's good of you to read the depraved rantings of a code lunatic. If I could tell you about my journey through software you'd maybe understand where I'm coming from.

No man! Truly heartfelt. Man I must be trapped in a sarcastic twilight zone everything I say comes out sounding snarky and vitriolic.

Ever considered that everyone is doing everything all wrong and you're just feeding into the frenzy? That's where I've come as a professional. I couldn't give a fuck any more about anyone's problems and I've le

Exactly! Man. It's good of you to say so, and it's precisely it. The standard signals are a shirt and tie, jacket and pocket square with other accessories. Now we're on a different playing field with other less overt details

That's mass consensus and if you want to roll with it who could possibly sway you? I've come to a whole new understanding, as a computer scientist that signalling still matters and we just suck at it. If you read the comment you w

I'm on my iPhone but you have a point we've become so meta sarcastic that in all honesty I meant 'kudos for itemizing all your grievances so clearly and succinctly' and it came off as condescending. I always wonder, do p

I appreciate the civility of your comment. My theory is that our technologies have made us weak and plunged us into a new dark age and we don't even know it yet. I'd like to believe the HN crowd is only slightly more refined than

And I'll tell you one more thing. Everyone one of us is so quick to defend never judging a book by its cover. Yet we judge it by the words it contains? Why don't we look past the words as well in the same fashion? There's thi

I like to disguise my brilliance in a patina of filth so I can confuse literalists while evoking deeper thoughts in lateral thinkers. Obviously I threw you off the scent by triggering your sensibilities. But I'll have you know I'v

Ha! You're too kind. To be honest I have been battling it out on social media trying to get the idea straight in my own head. This is the closest I've ever gotten. It's very kind of you to make the effort to read and reply to

My hero! Bro who is going to be the voice of reason in this crazy mixed up world? If I were an archaeologist in the future I'd start by reading all the most downvoted comments for sure!
