the history of Microsoft is the reason why we all reacting this way. But encouraged by the move they made lately coming into Linux, even though other players have forced their hand
Alternatives and no not bitbucket
This I can nod agreed with, Im forced into open office, with a lot of marketing people, and I cant be productive, often times I end up spending my time at home fixing the hard problems, and just doing the easy ones at work. btw. I'm a junior dev. without mentor working with non tech people.
Im hired as junior dev. at a relatively large non-tech company, to provide them with software tools, I built all these tools by myself with no mentoring and no help, My fear is this, my code looks clunky (probably not written according to good software design ?), and hard to read for others, I also have no skills in collaboration, how would I be able to grow these skills without a mentor ?.

I guess a simple google search was way too difficult ?
of course no one should stick their neck out, In this ungrateful nation, filled with the individualism and everyone looking for their own career enhancement, real whistleblowers get treated very very harshly from Chelsea Manning, to Tim Drake to Ed Snowden.
Whats worse is that the media im talking (CNN,MSNBC,FOX,ABC..Wash Post, NY Times) could have helped argue their case but they dont instead they are fed information from the government and report that as facts, of course this is nothing new, if anyone remembers the NY Times story about Saddam Hussein having WMDs)
what is clickbait, is the comment section where people only read the headline, and think of black hole as the nightmare scenario. Just read through the blogpost, must be one of the rare ones, as the commenter above me as well explained so eloquently this is nightmare scenario, there is no new guidance and particle physicists are not going in other directions they still waiting to see some sort of super symmetry or some kind of evidence of string theory, the field is lacking new ideas.
that headline though ?, online journalism at its worst, the chase for clicks, there really needs to be some solution to this problem journalism is dying and clickbait is where is at.
When last year was the hottest year on record, and this year is on track to be the hottest year on record, globally that is a cause for concern.
Even though I think, Snowden is on the right here, lets not kid ourselves, they using Snowden right now to trash Wikileaks, anyone remember when Snowden leaks came out, he was a russian spy, who apparently went to Russia by himself and dumped American intelligence documents to them.
