Really? A lot of the technologies in the opening paragraph are in relation. If you are building API-centric apps, you will have to have a well rounded understanding of how the technologies relate not just the mastery of each on their own. Maybe that is the intended message?

The main issue is the overuse of the word master, which may imply the 10,000 hour rule. I suppose they do this to ward of amateurs.

Also include a link to all required materials or better yet put everything they will need in a custom zip file. Including detailed instructions on the install process. We could probably get way more kids into this stuff if better walk-throughs were provided.

Maybe Some of these boys making the journey have always been social outcasts and never really had a chance at a "normal" social life in college. Maybe getting patted on the head by that angel serves as some form of retribution and they are better off this way. Plenty of time to experience life when you are independently wealthy and only in your mid 20s. Sure as hell beats work slaving until retirement with nothing but your "eventful 20s" to reflect on if you ask me.

I suppose as programmers there is a tendency to put things into a % more muscle or % more bone mass. As an ex NCAA wrestler and combat sport enthusiast I can tell you far more goes into the equation than simple percentages of strength or bone mass.

Allow me to put this in terms you may better understand. The secret lies in the Y chromosome. This small chromosome contains the instructions for making males. The way the bones and joints are positioned give males equal in weight to a women a distinct strength advantage. Take this into account along with the male hormonal profile which is vastly different.

The most powerful thing is the male hormonal profile. Testosterone allows you to hold more muscle and less fat. It gives men that burst of strength and horizontal punching power that puts them in an entirely different league. I'm sure you are thinking of outliers, but I'm talking about a well developed athletic male, not a couch potato.

Now you see some men that seem more or less masculine and the same goes for women. Rowdy is for sure a more masculine women. I'm sure this is genetic as well as from her training. Her hormonal profile and bone structure is more masculine although in comparison to a male fighter not so much.

The internet becomes more mainstream and the more average person begins to engage. There will still be places like HN and the DW, just don't expect your article written for HN to get 50 likes and 7 shares.

This just makes me treasure the opinions of those that actually make it to HN.

At first glance I thought he meant it was the C++ of the web by popularity. This will probably be the typical pattern of widely used programming languages. Adding features until it is time to start from a clean slate a few decades later.
