Im not a 'bro'... brah

How much traffic did your site(s) get?

People keep asking the OP about his apps, and their answer is very a very vague "the account has 2 droplets which serves 2 mobile apps and does crawling 20-30 sites hourly".

My question is what do the apps do? That could easily be where the violation of the TOS is happening. Child porn? Fraud?

The lack of clarification is making the OP seem shady. Whats to hide?

Awesome!

My partner and I sleep alone. We are both light sleepers.

Sleep masks make me sweaty and squish my eyeballs. I opted for tying a silk scarf around my head instead. Luxury.

There is so much less IE8 BS in back end. Front End takes 800% of my time because of variable browser nonsense. Even with JQuery.

I totally relate to your frustration here, but you are being petty in your reaction.

If you would like to change the way the language works, hostile personal attacks are more likely to turn people against your cause.

Im no neuroscientist or psychologist, but the stress of being sized up by other monkeys based on superficial first impressions that you know you dont happen to be very good at making, is WAY different than the stress that gets produced when a "cryptic" system needs fixing.

For me the former situation leads to lots of bad feelings including irritation and incredible anxiety. I have often considered the latter type of situation fun times. For a lot of programmers difficult puzzle solving stress is good stress.

From what I have witnessed from current in-the-box hiring practices is a lot of extroverts get hired who are good at spin and presentation. Quite a few managers never detect that they are actually not great programmers because they are brilliant at sucking up and putting on a show. Those skills dont always hurt, but they shouldnt be considered a deal breaker for a programmer who actually gets good work done.

Best practice I have ever encountered is when interviewers give out interview questions in advance to allow to the interviewee a while to think about the problem in quiet.

I love the idea of short term contracts for both parties to suss each other out.

I was only in India for a month and I am not joking or exaggerating that the constant threat of sexual violence also gave me what people could call PTSD.

Even making eye contact with men was perceived as an invitation. I could do nothing right. I tried adopting local garb, covering, being a shadow basically. I wasnt even alone; I was with my boyfriend the whole time!

I dont know how to talk to people about my experiences there without sounding like a complete grump. I would never have been able to imagine how brutal India was for everyone, including women, without going. Thank goodness I could leave!

Thats true. I hear you on the reporting. I have a bias because I am used to looking at tables of data maybe!
