Anything coming out of a boomer’s mouth about work ethic is hilarious
Just enjoy being the most privileged and worthless generation this country has ever had. There’s a reason the new generations resent you
Good, non compliance. Apply the same principles to vaccination status and medical privacy.
I'll never not hate purely procedurally generated art and art projects.
lol, spare me, only reinvent the broken and work towards standardization
Funny, I was a life long thinkpad user until white pressure spots appeared all over my year old laptop's screen.
hallowed be his name, let his gentle nature guide us to a more gooder future
This is interesting to me. I have more than a peripheral interest in art and design, but my day job is heavy systems programming using Go/Scala and the like. I think there is a huge market advantage to correctly branding stuff developers use. For me this is, excuse the hyperbole, almost objectively a terrible rebranding of Go. The Gopher, while not currently wholely representative of what Go has become...is iconic and a lovely homage to the playfulness and irreverency of hacker culture. What an opportunity to update and infuse the brand with how the language has developed. I love what other people are doing with the gopher (like the the dep packager).
On top of this, I can't get over the fact that the design team can't draw. What? How much are you guys getting paid?
Or maybe you shouldn't have designers that clearly can't draw.
There's a long history of slightly or outright irreverent logos in the hacker community and you're on a forum that at the very least pays homage to that culture.
As others have pointed out, Hexley.
I recently used the Infatuation, hopefully they can get a better breadth of reviewers and hopefully calibrate to your tastes i.e. pick a few restaurants that are 10 and calibrate to a reviewer from there.
For instance, the Slanted Door review by Max Child...mentions nothing of the history of the place and the head chef Charles Phan, instead commenting on "back in 1995, upscale Asian food in a shiny setting was a new and exciting concept, and these guys jumped on the opportunity" which is borderline offensive. Nor did it mention the fast-food side restaurant with great options. And the juvenile writing style was very off-putting. Disclaimer: I'm Viet and grew up near Little Saigon.
At least in SF I tried and uninstalled The Infatuation because it was dominated by this single reviewer that I disliked. Reviewer calibration would be absolutely killer if they could make it work.
What a joke, but I'm completely unsurprised. Prep for the SAT, prep for jobs, prep on the job - minus the whizkids, Stanford grads make great corporate drones.
Lol what a dork. Flippant comment aside, I can see this guy sitting in the shower trying to divine a relevant metaphor for such a dumb opinion - and coming up with the least relevant but most offensive option. That combined with the confidence to sit down and write that out takes talent.
boohoo.
tl;dr. How about not having non-technical managers LOLOL

Foundry Board: 6 white men, middle-aged
Percentage of LGBTQ in U.S: 3.4%
Percentage of women in U.S.: 50%
LGBTQ individual that should be on board: 0.204
Percentage of women that should be on board: 3
Yea, they're full of shit. That's a 0% diversity score, so objectively they discriminate in employment. Like I said in my above post, I don't even understand (translated for you: It's fucking absurd) how this happens.
It was also rhetorical as the rest of my post was critical. Also looks like it went from - to +, so you can ignore that comment now.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. The proof is in the pudding, grandstanding about equality while lacking staff diversity seems more like marketing and insurance against an Uberesque downfall that would lose them money.
"We deeply appreciate the bravery of the women who have publicly come forward and disclosed their specific issues of sexual harassment. The behavior they experienced is not ok, has never been ok, and will simply not be tolerated by us in any way."
"That's not ok with us." LOL, I can hear the muffled echoes of smug boardroom back-pats from here.
Really? "a [VC] partnership of six middle-aged white men" lauding female bravery. This would be so much more interesting if they acknowledged discrimination in the industry and held up their company as an example of that. America isn't 100% white middle-aged men now is it? I mean, how does that happen, I'm multiracial myself and the people I spitball company ideas with certainly aren't all male nor are they all the same ethnicity. The infantile, forceful, moralistic writing makes this all the worse.
I keep the experience super crappy by using fb mobile and not the app. Keeps my browsing sessions pretty short.
People saying that she's just delivering news/trying to help. Nah, she is propagating toxicity that comes when there's lots of money to be had in a certain profession. Blend in, rank and file, do well on your homework and standardized tests and maybe you too can go to an Ivy League company. It's absolutely mind numbing that the homebrew creator Max Howell was turned down by google. But, it's because of this toxicity. I'm a piece of shit and studied for interviews like 90% of the dev workforce and got a job at a Big 4 company. I feel dirty.
I clicked the link, interested, saw the design of the article's website, and closed the window.
Glib response for a stupid comment, but I'll take some time to respond to yours. I also wholeheartedly agree with this, especially for a creative/knowledge intensive field. It is impossible to be nose to the grindstone 8 hours a day doing anything of value that can't be automated. I've listened to artists talk about this as well: a really good workflow for me is really hard thinking for an hour or two with the rest of the day refining/helping/sharing/learning/interacting/reviewing. This sort of garbage mindset leads to shit code, reviewers that only comment on variable names because they only care to focus on their work, inter-specialty prejudice, etc.
And I mean the biggest joke here is that we're talking about Stripe ... hugely successful with an awesome engineering culture. K bro.
Lol you sound miserable.
Yea, I agree, I thought it was cool/clever to start out with but I have to reference the jargon when I revisit modifying formula or making bottles, usually there is a long enough hiatus from messing around with homebrew that I forget.
Working in SV, quite honestly the best member of my team is >40 (I'm in my late 20's). I don't understand ageism at all, experience really makes the job easier and I value that wealth of knowledge as a more junior dev
Thanks for the data proving your stupid assessments have no correlation with useful engineering.
Wait, as a quirky nerd that learned BASIC at 5, I can't fathom not wanting to spend the weekend with my peers hacking on projects and yes, just maybe, changing the world. But not before I meme-bomb Larry and start a nerf war! Being an adult is neat.
What, no one has ever criticized you for overblown rhetoric?
Ehhh, I hear STEM people with an embarrassing grasp of writing/social interaction/the humanities wear that as a badge of honor. At least Hanks if self-effacing.
