> I have vivid memories of that time — my self-image had been wrapped up in being “a good programmer”, and here I was just hideously failing. I lost sleep. I had these little panic attack episodes.
I don't understand these people. If I'm in a situation where I am way above my estimate, I just accept that the estimate was wrong and make sure I make constant progress. It will get done when it will get done.
Do you have an explicit reason or it's just the suicidal thoughts?
Maybe you are streaming at twitch too for donations? I bet many would subscribe to a blind gamer. Just be sure not to react to stuff on the screen or you will be banned.

"I have Asperger's: I am just like you"
Um, not to hate or anything, but there is a reason it is called autistic syndrome. Autistic people lack the ability to form a "theory of brain", which means they just do not understand other people's intentions that well. You can't ignore this fact and hope it will go away.
In other words americans partly pay for indians for drugs by having these patent laws.
Seems like gender ratio is not changing over time. But, to my surprise, there are actually more females than I expected.
So the problem with bitcoins is that it can be harder to evade taxes and buy illegal stuff? I don't know how it is in USA, but where I live it would be very useful feature of currency. However I remain unconvinced even of the arguments that it could be traced.

I was using chrome for many years, almost from the start. But switched to firefox a week ago, because my chrome started to feel more and more laggy, both on home and work computer. I'm not disappointed yet.
We, male developers, actually benefit from her actions. One guy may have lost his job, not a big deal, gonna get another, after all this publicity he got quite famous, but the main thing is that less woman will want to take the job of software development, less employers will want to hire woman because of the possible problems like this and so less concurrency for us and bigger salary.
