I think the parent's point (though I could be reading my own thoughts into it), is that the things you mention only matter to the user if it directly affects them. An end user couldn't care less what the maintenance costs are if t

Oh I don't find sports interesting at all either, though I would argue that people do in fact try those sorts of competitions in coding. My beef with parent is the notion that this stuff is objectively pointless somehow just because _w

I thought that at first as well (about the potential confusion), but then recalled that most of the "possible" alternatives aren't real English words: "bah" is really only a sort of exclamation and the sound of a sh

Jeez the amount of time I spent on E2 in high school and college was stunning. So many open tabs as I followed those links. Even wrote an app to find the "shortest distance" between two randomly selected ideas.

I've never seen a non-trivial application that is "application code only". Most frameworks weren't built out of thin air, but because of real application needs. Sure they have more than is necessary, but it is often

> "...enjoyment out of the presentation..." I think you nailed it there. I don't really care about the site presentation, just the content. It's interesting when the content that I'm reading in my feed reader m

I touched a bit on excitotoxins in the article, but decided to leave that for another one if there was enough interest. The major issue is that the biggest proponent of the excitotxin theory is Blaylock (based on some initial ideas from JW
