I’m not sure why the author chose this sentence and why you are picking it out. The author provided no evidence of it. Instead, when you read on it seems to be an ownership problem. People rotating in and out for a year on a ten year project. You can be the most competent and skilled worker, if you don’t get the opportunity to become invested in the success of a project, of course you won’t see the project become successful.

Well yes, this was the original intent of crypto. Putting payment in the hands of the people. It’s only been made terrible by tech bros and greed the same way the Internet has.

Imagine living in a society where we collectively decide some people just get all the privilege to themselves, and the rest of us can just roll around in the mud, and everyone is ok and happy with that.

Python is just distancing itself from JS.

Are you here because you believe in something and actually want to see it happen, or are you here just to stroke your own ego. Ain’t nobody got time for that second part. Get real.

Information is not truth.

The point of a teacher is to challenge the student. We become wiser by putting knowledge to the test, not by merely ingesting information. There is as much misinformation as there is true information, if not more. That is why learning is only complete once the misinformation is separated from the true information. And the only way to do that is to experience the information in the context of the real world.

This is just as true for machine learning/AI BTW.

Interestingly, each and every title portrayed here is, individually a lie, and collectively probably more accurate. Because the truth is usually much more nuanced and complicated than can be distilled into a short book title. But you won’t get that by reading a single book or author. And while reading multiple authors is closer to getting to the truth, the real truth is found when you put the books in context with your own experiences and reality.

That’s not an excuse for climate denial though. A teacher will rightfully tell you your world view is too small to experience climate change.

Just check your tea leaves.

I now only buy offline or local-only software and products. If it doesn’t exist, I hack it.

Headphones do all this already. No mind control is a nice little benefit too.

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the only negotiating power consumers have ever and will ever have: voting with your wallet.

Let’s normalize real customer loyalty again by sending a strong message that continued business is not to be taken for granted.

Don’t apologize. That pain is exactly why millennials are so much more tech literate than boomers and gen Alpha.

Simple solution: Try looking at the pictures of you through a mirror.

Uh, it’s a brick shelf made out of books.

If it’s such a problem, maybe we just collectively move on to ES or TypeScript nomenclature?

This is what happens when stack overflow is used for training.

The casting alone is all you need to know to expect an unmitigated disaster.

This in Canada, BTW, but I s’pose that doesn’t invalidate your general statement.

I think this is satire. Poe’s law is stronger than ever

They are neither ham nor steamed, unless that’s exactly what they are having over there? Wouldn’t compare it to a hamburger though… (A hamburger being a Hamburg steak, as in the German city)

Epic sax guy and ska is a very strange juxtaposition.
