I was responding to:

I don't see the why of the voxel sprites compared to the beautiful 3D rendering.

Also, the project homepage says, "SpriteStack is a voxel editor suited for 2D artists"

I get why this bothers a lot of people, but OTOH I get why some people like it. I think the reason for the former in the mind of the user is that the comma clearly signifies that you are adding another value after it, and you save valuable key strokes not having to add a comma to the end of the preceding line just to add another k:v on the line you're concerned about.

I think there's room for discourse in this area TBQH. There are many alternative terms that would communicate the purpose of the framework and its class members just as well, if not better than something with 'slave' or 'enslave' in the name. Especially if you want to potentially attract adoption among users who might have ancestors who were enslaved, and also incidentally have a harder time getting a job in tech. I know I for one would like to use a software package that doesn't also remind me of a painful memory.

This is interesting. I've found that a (good) recruiter will work hard to drive up your salary because it benefits them in the end usually. I believe most make a commission based on your salary in the contract. This only applies to external recruiters--I doubt it works the same for internal recruiters for obvious reasons, but I may be wrong. I dunno.

Although not in tech, my partner was contacted by an external recruiter looking to fill a position at an architecture firm. She was reluctant to leave her current job working with the best (IMHO) living architect today, but the recruiter did the leg work and came back with an offer that was something few of us could negotiate on our own. All she had to do was respond to the recruiter's occasional emails. This is the ideal scenario, and as I mentioned in a previous comment, I don't know the ins and outs of recruiting, so it might be more cutthroat than I realize, and they probably don't have the resources to give you that kind of a la carte service, but I think the OP's approach can open the potential for that.

So do you think this approach would make good recruiter better? It seems like it would. You would encourage the recruiter to maintain a long term relationship with you, and hopefully they'd respect your boundaries and only reach out when they have a prospect that is too good to pass up.

I like this. I know that recruiters are something a lot of us have to deal with, and most of the time they are an annoyance. This approach sounds like it could save a lot of wasted time for both of us. That said, I realize I don't know much about the business of being a recruiter, and I wonder what their perspective might be.

Whatever you do, don't eat the food at Casa Bonita! They require you to purchase a meal in order to go in, but DO NOT EAT IT.

You can eat the sopaipillas though.

I'm gonna guess that you're getting down voted because your first post is a poorly thought out attack, and it seems like you didn't read the article.
