And..?

Yeah, bots were my first thought. Run any decent sized fb group and you'll realise just how many there are, then realise you're probably only seeing a small cross section. I would say thousands new every day. I saw a friend having some fun a while back posting public statuses to bait spambots with keywords like "tupac movie" and "watch online" - they get flooded within minutes. Also, I have at least 3-4 accounts and know plenty of people who have as many, too. Can't imagine how they'd differentiate that from say, my housemate or partner logging in from the same IP address.

I know a few people who do this, too. They're almost invariably awful about it and completely convinced they're on the "right track" over people actually writing code, too..

Yeah, like.. scorchingly atypical. How many of these jobs are there that all 100 of your peers had a similar experience?

Yes, I go to a few underground dance parties a year and it would be a lot harder to find those events (let alone discern which ones I'd prefer to attend, who of my friends will be there, etc) without the networks I have on FB.

..which seems altogether too fitting.

Thanks for the heads up on Electron - I was going to look into onboarding this for our team until that. We have more than enough in the way of crufty crapplications already.

Giphy is mostly used to host content to be posted on third party sites. An upload app would be useful but by no means crucial, and nowhere near as trafficked as the content itself.

Very true - but I don't think invasion is the same as peaceful immigration.

Australian here. Can you clarify what is meant by this?

Do you really mean to say you write songs without using any theory or explicitly sought knowledge whatsoever? Let's hear one.

I feel like you're implying that would be a bad thing when it could actually be preferable. I don't think MS is faultless or anything, but I'd be surprised if they could make themselves as much of a pain as Adobe does (especially given all the OS integration opportunity).

That's addressed several times in the article, and the answer is yes, we're not immune to this. Calling things a fad disorder is a bit dismissive, though. They're consistently at pains to point out that whatever the person is feeling is real, even if their suffering is perhaps built upon further by their beliefs.

Technically such a person should be called a cracker, no? A hacker is just someone who hacks on things. Where is this pop definition from?
