"This isn't new, but I do wonder if the net is amplifying it." I don't know about amplifying it, but it's certainly revealing that there are much better opportunities out there. Working in the midwest and reading a

It's 100 minutes a month if I'm not mistaken. Can't say for sure if the plan still exists, but it's almost impossible to find any advertising regarding it. You have to specifically ask for it like those quesadillas at

One thing I noticed is that the breakup basically drowned out all the other triggers for crying.

> All of your needs as a human being are met. All of the needs of your friends and family are met. Can you not imagine how much easier it would be to advance toward a "social utopia"? This is the case for basically everyone I

The quote "Conservatives think Liberals are stupid, Liberals think Conservatives are evil" seems to apply here.

This surprises me. I was extremely skeptical of thee whole retina thing before I got a chance to use it. Now I can't see myself ever buying something with less pixel density.

I would bet money this was for an extremely stubborn and ill-informed client.

A lot of the criticism seems to be from people who will never like JS. I've always loved JS (for whatever reason) so ES6 is a godsend.

Oh I do. But I hear this a lot more than I see it, especially in the Midwest without a degree.

I live in a place with a slightly higher COL and make about that with no benefits. I also have about 4 years experience. Some people just make shitty career choices or don't get lucky/unlucky.

My first job hired me with zero programming experience because they thought this. I like to think I turned out ok, but I strongly disagree with the sentiment. A more accurate statement would be "You can train most people to be relati
