Honest question: your mother didn't bother to work anywhere, why couldn't she help him?

And I like this "he had to toss them", as they lived apart, and it wasn't a family's loss.

So here's the rules of this brave new world: beyond your house you're a sexless, emotionless creature without family, life outside the office, without sense of humour, without personal interests and preferences.

Be like this, and you'll get free meals, free shuttle bus and goats at company campus. And it's good for your resumé.

Looks like a list for a 12-year-old.

AI for everyone, data is not.

Which image are you talking about? It's a cage without natural light, I don't understand how a glass door makes it better. Actually it's even worse, because it's a depressive as a cubicle, but without "privacy".

> Why don't you post a picture of that, instead of spamming this one?

Sorry, image urls buried deep inside, I had to use dev tools to extract them.

> Or do you promote open work plans in your day job?

Promoting a weird idea that every human being (even if he/she is a developer) deserves a window, fresh air and natural light, is my little personal war.

And there's no "open space" vs "gray cages" dichotomy. Our team works in a quiet room with big windows, for example.

How to be "proactive" with widely accepted discriminatory practices and affirmative action?

D3.js is quite low-level library, it's basically a wrapper around SVG with some sugar like animations and enter/exit/update.

> Is the most apparent benefit less lines of code?

Yes! With "reusable components" you don't need to write (or copypaste) a line chart over and over.

From their demos:

    brushChart
        .width(containerWidth)
        .height(300)
        .onBrush(function(brushExtent) {
        // Do something with the brushExtent
        });

    brushContainer.datum(dataset).call(brushChart);

> I could not use my GI Bill to go to code school. That was the number one roadblock

Nobody needs a "code school" to learn how to write code.

Legal landscape in the US is just bad. Sue-happy country with convoluted taxes, horribly slow customs with crazy policies ("General Order warehouse", fml), 50 different states with different laws, taxes and regulations.

Visit the nearest store, you'll see dozens of kits and couple of yellow "Lego Classic" boxes, somewhere on bottom (cheapest) shelves.

We have ~20 kits at home (gifts, impulsive purchases, etc), it looks like pile of assorted, useless, weird blocks, non-matching wheels. My son started play Lego after I bit the bullet and just sorted out that crap, leaving only 5-10 standard blocks.
