I don’t think it’s the same. The author frames it as a social pressure. It actually reads as a personal anxiety that they project on the world in my opinion. They started feeling competitive about books as an 8 year old? I’m not shocked the

> well if you don't know whats going on of course you will not know that two things are related?! This made me laugh so hard. You're completely right, it's like someone setting up a joke by saying "THIS IS HILARIOUS Y

Yes. A lot of people here forget how many lower level jobs there are out there. I'd recommend focusing on JavaScript and front end engineering if you like that, or some back end language and framework like ruby and rails. You can learn

> Chen said air pollution was most likely to be the cause of the loss of intelligence, rather than simply being a correlation. Why? You can't just say that and expect people to trust you. The fact that they followed the same people

You're implying that being selfish is inherently bad. Of course it's selfish. You're doing something for you. It's only a problem if it unfairly hurts someone else. How is that the case here?

The goal is not to copy something and pass it off as your own work. It's an exercise to learn how to think in this technology in a way that's not just another todo app or whatever. You use what you learn to actually build somethin

Here's what I don't understand about this argument - if you're negotiating for a new job, wouldn't the implication be that your current employer is not aware of it? And that any contact for this kind of information by yo

Trite doesn't mean inherently bad, it's just beaten to death on a very shallow level. If you were to list the most overused themes that hot takey bloggers use to build theses around, this is one of them. And it’s a shame because I

This is a weak argument and frankly the introvert extrovert juxtaposition is trite at this point. The article sounds like frustrated happy hour conjecture by somebody who has never actually worked in sales. Cherry picks a lot in order to ma

This is mainly a problem during rush hour, when traffic is always a problem everywhere. It might be exacerbated in that area but so much so that an average resident feels like they should be complaining about it? If your commute is from Tri

I don't understand why people continue to build things for services that have a track record of shutting things down.

What is this thing where people use the word "bro" to dissociate themselves from their colleagues who they don't like/make offensive remarks? The community is not spotless and that doesn't make those people "br

Zapier started at my hometown Startup Weekend! Stoked these dudes are getting the attention they deserve. They're great guys.

Yeah everyone would notice it around the same time, look at recent commits, see some silly file got committed and revert. You'd have to have a team of pretty sub-par devs to not undo this fairly quickly. Although it would be sort of an

Yeah it did feel like a very abrupt stop. Hopefully there is a part 2 at some point. How does the consultant deal with communicating the real problem? She must, at some point, tell the executive team "the code is just the symptom.&quot
